Stresses in the earth compress rock
formations and cause them to buckle
into sinusoidal shapes. It is important for
geologists to be able to predict the depth
of aof aof rock formation at a given point. Such
information can be very usefry usefry ulusefulusef for structural
engineers as well. In this chapter you’ll
learn about the circular functions, which
are closely related to the trigonometric
functions. Geologists and engineers use
these functions as mathematical models to
perforrforrf m calculations for such wavych wavych wa rock

Refer to the Problem Notes for
Problems 5–8 and Problems 9–18.
These problems will help prepare
students for Section 6-7, which will
present a challenge for ELL students
because of the complex language.
Problem 28 will challenge ELL students
to develop their English skills.
Additional Exploration Notes
Exploration 6-2a gives students practice
in graphing particular cosine and sine
equations; identifying period, amplitude,
and other characteristics; writing an
equation from a given graph; checking
their work using a grapher; and finding
a y-value given an angle value. Assign
this exploration as a group activity
after you have presented and discussed
Examples 1 and 2. This gives students
supervised practice with the ideas
presented in the examples before they
leave class. Students may need help with
Problem 5, which asks them to find y
when 35°. Allow 20–30 minutes for
the exploration.
Exploration 6-2b can be assigned as a
quiz or as extra homework practice. It
can also be assigned later in the year as
a review of sinusoids. Problem 1 of the
exploration asks students to sketch two
cycles of a given sinusoid. Problems 2
and 3 ask them to write two equations—
one using sine and one using cosine—for
the same sinusoid and then to check
their equations using their graphers.
Problems 5 and 6 give students practice
writing equations based on a half-cycle
or quarter-cycle of a sinusoid. Allow
20 minutes for the entire exploration or
8–10 minutes for just Problems 5 and 6.
to trace with their fingers to reinforce
their understanding and to enable you
to verify that the understanding does
(or doesn’t) exist. These graphs can also
help reinforce the meanings of sinusoid,
periodic, and displacement, and clarify
translation of one period, pre-image and
image graphs, and negative angles.
Have students use their paper graphs
while you go over the examples.
Have students write the general
sinusoidal equation definition in their
journals both formally and in their
own words.
Make sure the distinction on page 290
between a particular equation and the
particular equation is clear.
Consider using the Reading Analysis
as an in-class discussion. Alternatively,
allow ELL students to do it in pairs.

sure to discuss finding the y-values during
the class discussion of the homework. A

Section Notes
Section 6-4 introduces radian measures
for angles. Measuring angles in radians
makes it possible to apply trigonometric
functions to real-life units of measure,
such as time, that can be represented
on the number line. Try to do at least one
of the explorations for Section 6-4 so that
students will understand that a radian
is really the arc length of a circle with a
radius of one unit.
The explorations also help students
understand the relationship between
radians and degrees. If they do not
complete one of these activities, students
may simply memorize how to convert
from degrees to radians without
understanding how the units are related.
Explain that degrees and radians are two
units for measuring angles, just as feet
and meters are two units for measuring
length. An angle measuring 30 radians is
not the same size as an angle measuring
30 degrees (just as a length of 30 meters
is not equal to a length of 30 feet) because
the units are different.
The relationship between radians
and degrees can be used to convert
measurements from one unit to the
other. Because radians is equivalent
to 180 degrees, the conversion factor
is radians________
180 degrees
, a form of 1. Students should
realize that multiplying a number of
degrees by this factor causes the degrees
to cancel out, leaving a number of
radians.
30 degrees_________
1
radians__________
180 degrees
1__

radians
Similarly, multiplying a number of
radians by
180 degrees________
radians
, another form of 1,
lets the radians cancel, leaving a number
of degrees. If the units don’t cancel, the
student has the conversion factor upside
down.
2. Arc has length 2.8r, meaning that is
2.8 radians.
3. A full revolution is 2 radians because
the circumference of a circle is 2 r. An
angle of 180° is half of 2 , or radians. An
angle of 90° is 1_
4 of 2 , or _
2 radians.
4. One radian is 1__
2 of a full circle, so its
degree measure is 360°___
2 57.2957...°

DEFINITION: Radian Measure of an Angle
radian measure
arc length_________
radius
For the work that follows, it is important to distinguish between the name
of the angle and the measure of that angle. Measures of angle will be written
this way:
is the name of the angle.
m°( ) is the degree measure of angle .
mR
( ) is the radian measure of angle .
Because the circumference of a circle is 2 r and because r for the unit circle
is 1, the wrapped number line in Figure 6-4a divides the circle into 2 units
(a little more than six parts). So there are 2 radians in a complete revolution.
There are also 360° in a complete revolution. You can convert degrees to radians,
or the other way around, by setting up these proportions:
mR
( )_____
m°( )
2____
360°
____
180°
or
m°( )_____
mR
( )
360°____
2
180°____
Solving for mR
( ) and m°( ), respectively, gives
mR
( ) ____
180°
m°( ) and m°( ) 180°____ mR
( )
These equations lead to a procedure for accomplishing the objective of this section.
PROCEDURE: Radian–Degree Conversion
To find the radian measure of , multiply the degree measure by ___
180
.
To find the degree measure of , multiply the radian measure by 180___.
Convert 135° to radians.
In order to keep the units straight, write
each quantity as a fraction with the proper
units. If you have done the work correctly,
certain units will cancel, leaving the proper
units for the answer.

Notes:
If the exact value is called for, leave the answer as 3_
4 . If not, you have the choice
of writing the answer as a multiple of or converting to a decimal.
The procedure for canceling units used in Example 1 is called dimensional
analysis. You will use this procedure throughout your study of mathematics.

Differentiating Instruction
Point out the mathematical meanings
of particular,particular,particular principal, and
supplementary. Bilingual dictionaries
may give only the standard English
definitions.
There are several different ways to
write 2 n and 360°n. Students may
have learned to write this as 2k oror
2z and 360°and 360°k or 360°z.
Be aware that some students who
have studied trigonometry (to varying
levels) may have been taught to leave
answers (such as those in Example 4)
in fraction form. Confirm that
students understand your expectation
regarding how to write their answers.
The Reading Analysis may be
confusing for students who have
studied trigonometry from a different
approach.
Exploration Notes
Exploration 6-6a asks questions based
on a given sinusoidal graph. You can
use this exploration instead of doing the
examples with your class. The examples
can reinforce what students learned
through the exploration. Students find
values graphically, numerically, and
algebraically. This exploration can be
used as a small-group introduction to the
section, as a daily quiz after the section
is completed, or as a review sheet to be
assigned later in the chapter. If you use
the exploration to introduce the section,
make sure students have written a correct
equation for Problem 2 before they work
on the other problems. Allow about
20 minutes for the exploration.
Exploration 6-6b has students find the
same x-values for the same function
as in Exploration 6-6a, but using
algebraic methods rather than graphical
ones. Allow 15–20 minutes for this
exploration.

Q10. Periodic
Problems 1–4 provide students with
practice solving inverse circular relation
equations. Because no method is
specified, students may find the solutions
numerically, graphically, or algebraically.
Problems 1–4 can be solved on a
CAS using the method suggested in the
CAS Suggestions.
Parts c of Problems 5–12 can be
approached as described in the CAS
Suggestions. Using appropriate domain
restrictions, students can calculate all of
the solutions simultaneously.
Problems 5–10 require students to
write equations for sinusoids and use
graphical, numerical, and algebraic
methods to find x-values corresponding
to a particular y-value. These problems
are similar to the examples and to
Exploration 6-6a. In part a, students
should estimate the graphical solutions
from the graph and not use the intersect
feature on their grapher.
One way to answer part e of
Problems 5–10 is to restrict x to valuesx to valuesx
between 100 and 100 one period.
Based on the cycle of the graph, there
should be two answers, both of which are
calculated when using a CAS.
To list the values simultaneously, convert
the previous answer line into list format
and use a condition at the end of the line for
the random integer n9 to assume the valuesn9 to assume the valuesn9
0, 1, 2, and 3—the first four non-negative
integers. The command should look like
this:
{2*n9*{2*n9*{2*n9* + 1.8754889808103, 2*n9*+ 1.8754889808103, 2*n9* –
1.8754889808103} n9 = {0, 1, 2, 3}
A similar approach can be used in
Examples 3 and 4.
To find a specific intersection among
the infinite solutions to an inverse
trigonometric relation, it is helpful to
state constraints after the Solve command.
The graph in Problem 5 seems to have,
among others, an intersection with y 6
somewhere between x 20 and x 23. To
find this intersection, students can enter
Solve(2 + 5 cos(Solve(2 + 5 cos(Solve(2 + 5 cos( /10(x –/10(x – 3)) = 6, x) 20 < x < 23
into their CAS.
See pages 1005–1006 for answers to
Problems Q5, Q6, and 1–6.

CAS Suggestions
By this point in the chapter, students
should have explored and begun to
master the techniques and implications
of circular functions. Because the
objective of this section is to apply the
mathematics, not perform the algebraic
manipulations, students benefit from
using a CAS, which allows them to focus
on what the mathematics mean.
Defining the equation in part b of
Example 1 and using that definition to
graph and evaluate the model can help
students solve part c. TI-Nspire users
may want to use a word or abbreviation
to define the function. These figures
show the definition of the waterwheel’s
height. The t-intercepts for part d can be
found using either the Solve or the Zeros
command.

7. Sunspot Problem: For several hundred
years, astronomers have kept track of the
number of sunspots that occur on the surface of
the Sun. The number of sunspots in a given year
varies periodically, from a minimum of about
10 per year to a maximum of about 110 per year.
Between 1750 and 1948, there were exactly
18 complete cycles.
a. What is the period of a sunspot cycle?
b. Assume that the number of sunspots per year
is a sinusoidal function of time and that a
maximum occurred in 1948. Find a particular
equation expressing the number of sunspots
per year as a function of the year.
c. How many sunspots will there be in the
year 2020? This year?
d. What is the first year after 2020 in which
there will be about 35 sunspots? What is the
first year after 2020 in which there will be a
maximum number of sunspots?
e. Find out how closely the sunspot cycle
resembles a sinusoid by looking on the
Internet or in another reference.
8. Tide Problem: Suppose you are on the beach at
Port Aransas, Texas, on August 2. At 2:00 p.m.,
at high tide, you find that the depth of the water
at the end of a pier is 1.5 m. At 7:30 p.m., at low
tide, the depth of the water is 1.1 m. Assume that
the depth varies sinusoidally with time.
a. Find a particular equation expressing depth as
a function of the time that has elapsed since
12:00 a.m. August 2.
b. Use your mathematical model to predict the
depth of the water at 5:00 p.m. on August 3.
c. At what time does the first low tide occur on
August 3?
d. What is the earliest time on August 3 that the
water depth will be 1.27 m?
e. A high tide occurs because the Moon is
pulling the water away from Earth slightly,
making the water a bit deeper at a given point.
How do you explain the fact that there are two
high tides each day at most places on Earth?
Provide the source of your information.
9. Shock Felt Round the World Problem: Suppose
that one day all 300 million people in the
United States climb up on tables. At time
t 0, they all jump off. The resulting shock wave
starts Earth vibrating at its fundamental period,
54 min. The surface first moves down from its
normal position and then moves up an equal
distance above its normal position (Figure 6-7i).
Assume that the amplitude is 50 m.

8e. On the side closest to the Moon, the
water is pulled more than Earth, causing
a high tide. On the opposite side, farthest
from the Moon, Earth is pulled more
than the water, causing another high
tide.
Problem 9 is fairly straightforward and
usually does not present trouble for
students. However, some students do
not realize that at time 0 the vertical
displacement of Earth is also zero; they
may start the graph at a minimum value
instead of at zero.

12. Oil Well Problem: Figure 6-7k shows a vertical
cross section through a piece of land. The
y-axis is drawn coming out of the ground at the
fence bordering land owned by your boss, Earl
Wells. Earl owns the land to the left of the fence
and is interested in acquiring land on the other
side to drill a new oil well. Geologists have found
an oil-bearing formation below Earl’s land that
they believe to be sinusoidal in shape. At distance
x 100 ft, the top surface of the formation
is at its deepest, y 2500 ft. A quarter-cycle
closer to the fence, at distance x 65 ft, the
top surface is only 2000 ft deep. The first 700 ft of
land beyond the fence is inaccessible. Earl
wants to drill at the first convenient site beyond
x 700 ft.
a. Find a particular equation expressing y as a
function of x.
b. Plot the graph on your grapher. Use a window
with 100 x 900. Describe how the
graph confirms that your equation is correct.
c. Find graphically the first interval of x-values
in the available land for which the top surface
of the formation is no more than 1600 ft deep.
d. Find algebraically the values of x at the ends of
the interval in part c. Show your work.
e. Suppose the original measurements were
slightly inaccurate and the value of y shown
at 65 ft is actually at x 64 ft. Would this
fact make much difference in the answer to
part c? Use the most time-efficient method to
arrive at your answer. Explain what you did.
13. Sound Wave Problem: The hum you hear on
some radios when they are not tuned to a station
is a sound wave of 60 cycles per second.
Bats navigate and communicate using ultrasonic
sounds with frequencies of 20–100 kilohertz (kHz),
which are undetectable by the human ear. A kilohertz
is 1000 cycles per second.
a. Is 60 cycles per second the period, or is it
the frequency? If it is the period, find the
frequency. If it is the frequency, find the
period.
b. The wavelength of a sound wave is defined
as the distance the wave travels in a time
interval equal to one period. If sound travels
at 1100 ft/s, find the wavelength of the
60-cycle-per-second hum.
c. The lowest musical note the human ear
can hear is about 16 cycles per second. In
order to play such a note, a pipe on an organ
must be exactly half as long as the wavelength.
What length organ pipe would be needed to
generate a 16-cycle-per-second note?

equation. You may wish to add this
part d to the question: “Research in the
library or on the Internet the physics of
organ pipes. You might try looking up

Rotary Motion
When you ride a merry-go-round, you go faster when you sit nearer the outside.
As the merry-go-round rotates through a certain angle, you travel farther in the
same amount of time when you sit closer to the outside (Figure 6-8a).

However, all points on the merry-go-round turn through the same number of
degrees per unit of time. So there are two differenfferenff t kinds of speeof speeof d, or velocity,ty,ty
associated with a point on a rotating object. The angular velocity isty isty the number of
degrees or radians per unit of time, and the linear velocity is the distance per unit

Rotate
The figure shows a rotating ruler attached by
suction cup to a dry-erase board. Marking pens are
put into holes in the ruler, and the ruler and pens
are rotated slowly from the initial position (dotted),
reaching the final position (solid) after 5 s. Each
pen leaves an arc on the board.
1. With a flexible ruler you find that the curved
lengths of the arcs are 60 cm (outer) and
24 cm (inner). At what average speed (cm/s)
did each pen travel in the 5 s? Which pen
moved faster?
2. Suppose the angle from the initial position to
the final position is 115°. At what number of
degrees per second did each pen move? Did
one pen move more degrees per second than
the other?
3. Suppose the inner pen is 12 cm from the
center of rotation and the outer pen is 30 cm
from the center of rotation. An angle of 115°
is about 2 radians. Show that the distance
each pen moved can be found by multiplying
the radius of the arc by the angle measure in
radians.
