To the Precalculus Learners
The Precalculus course bridges basic mathematics and calculus. This course
completes your foundational knowledge on algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.
It provides you with conceptual understanding and computational skills that are
prerequisites for Basic Calculus and future STEM courses.
Based on the Curriculum Guide for Precalculus of the Department of Edu-
cation (see pages 2-5), the primary aim of this Learning Manual is to give you
an adequate stand-alone material that can be used for the Grade 11 Precalculus
course.
The Manual is divided into three units: analytic geometry, summation no-
tation and mathematical induction, and trigonometry. Each unit is composed
of lessons that bring together related learning competencies in the unit. Each
lesson is further divided into sub-lessons that focus on one or two competencies
for effective learning.
At the end of each lesson, more examples are given in Solved Examples to
reinforce the ideas and skills being developed in the lesson. You have the oppor-
tunity to check your understanding of the lesson by solving the Supplementary
Problems. Finally, two sets of Topic Test are included to prepare you for the
exam.
Answers, solutions, or hints to odd-numbered items in the Supplementary
Problems and all items in the Topic Tests are provided at the end of the Manual
to guide you while solving them. We hope that you will use this feature of the
Manual responsibly.
Some items are marked with a star. A starred sub-lesson means the discussion
and accomplishment of the sub-lesson are optional. This will be decided by your
teacher. On the other hand, a starred example or exercise means the use of
calculator is required.
We hope that you will find this Learning Manual helpful and convenient to
use. We encourage you to carefully study this Manual and solve the exercises
yourselves with the guidance of your teacher. Although great effort has been
put into this Manual for technical correctness and precision, any mistake found
and reported to the Team is a gain for other students. Thank you for your
cooperation.

San Juanico Bridge, by Morten Nærbøe, 21 June 2009,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3ASan Juanico Bridge 2.JPG. Public Domain.
Stretching from Samar to Leyte with a total length of more than two kilome-
ters, the San Juanico Bridge has been serving as one of the main thoroughfares
of economic and social development in the country since its completion in 1973.
Adding picturesque effect on the whole architecture, geometric structures are
subtly built to serve other purposes. The arch-shaped support on the main span
of the bridge helps maximize its strength to withstand mechanical resonance and
aeroelastic flutter brought about by heavy vehicles and passing winds.

Lesson 1.1. Introduction to Conic Sections and Circles
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) illustrate the different types of conic sections: parabola, ellipse, circle, hyper-
bola, and degenerate cases;
(2) define a circle;
(3) determine the standard form of equation of a circle;
(4) graph a circle in a rectangular coordinate system; and
(5) solve situational problems involving conic sections (circles).
Lesson Outline
(1) Introduction of the four conic sections, along with the degenerate conics
(2) Definition of a circle
(3) Derivation of the standard equation of a circle
(4) Graphing circles
(5) Solving situational problems involving circles
Introduction
We present the conic sections, a particular class of curves which sometimes
appear in nature and which have applications in other fields. In this lesson, we
first illustrate how each of these curves is obtained from the intersection of a
plane and a cone, and then discuss the first of their kind, circles. The other conic
sections will be covered in the next lessons.
1.1.1. An Overview of Conic Sections
We introduce the conic sections (or conics), a particular class of curves which
oftentimes appear in nature and which have applications in other fields. One
of the first shapes we learned, a circle, is a conic. When you throw a ball, the
trajectory it takes is a parabola. The orbit taken by each planet around the sun
is an ellipse. Properties of hyperbolas have been used in the design of certain
telescopes and navigation systems. We will discuss circles in this lesson, leaving
parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas for subsequent lessons.
• Circle (Figure 1.1) - when the plane is horizontal
• Ellipse (Figure 1.1) - when the (tilted) plane intersects only one cone to form
a bounded curve

• Parabola (Figure 1.2) - when the plane intersects only one cone to form an
unbounded curve
• Hyperbola (Figure 1.3) - when the plane (not necessarily vertical) intersects
both cones to form two unbounded curves (each called a branch of the hyper-
bola)
Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 Figure 1.3
We can draw these conic sections (also called conics) on a rectangular co-
ordinate plane and find their equations. To be able to do this, we will present
equivalent definitions of these conic sections in subsequent sections, and use these
to find the equations.
There are other ways for a plane and the cones to intersect, to form what are
referred to as degenerate conics: a point, one line, and two lines. See Figures 1.4,
1.5 and 1.6.
Figure 1.4 Figure 1.5 Figure 1.6
1.1.2. Definition and Equation of a Circle
A circle may also be considered a special kind of ellipse (for the special case when
the tilted plane is horizontal). As we get to know more about a circle, we will
also be able to distinguish more between these two conics.

See Figure 1.7, with the point C(3, 1) shown. From the figure, the distance
of A(−2, 1) from C is AC = 5. By the distance formula, the distance of B(6, 5)
from C is BC = (6 − 3)2 + (5 − 1)2 = 5. There are other points P such that
PC = 5. The collection of all such points which are 5 units away from C, forms
a circle.
Figure 1.7 Figure 1.8
Let C be a given point. The set of all points P having the same
distance from C is called a circle. The point C is called the center of
the circle, and the common distance its radius.
The term radius is both used to refer to a segment from the center C to a
point P on the circle, and the length of this segment.
See Figure 1.8, where a circle is drawn. It has center C(h, k) and radius r > 0.
A point P(x, y) is on the circle if and only if PC = r. For any such point then,
its coordinates should satisfy the following.
PC = r
(x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r
(x − h)2
+ (y − k)2
= r2
This is the standard equation of the circle with center C(h, k) and radius r. If
the center is the origin, then h = 0 and k = 0. The standard equation is then
x2
+ y2
= r2
.

Solution. (1) x2

(2) (x + 4)2

(3) The center is (3, 1) and the radius is 5, so the equation is (x−3)2

(4) By inspection, the center is (−2, −1) and the radius is 4. The equation is

(5) Similarly by inspection, we have (x − 3)2

make a sketch to see why). The equation is (x − 5)2

If the equation of a circle is given in the general form
Ax2
+ Ay2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0, A = 0,
or
x2
+ y2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0,
we can determine the standard form by completing the square in both variables.
Completing the square in an expression like x2
+ 14x means determining
the term to be added that will produce a perfect polynomial square. Since the
coefficient of x2
is already 1, we take half the coefficient of x and square it, and
we get 49. Indeed, x2
+ 14x + 49 = (x + 7)2
is a perfect square. To complete
the square in, say, 3x2
+ 18x, we factor the coefficient of x2
from the expression:
3(x2
+ 6x), then add 9 inside. When completing a square in an equation, any
extra term introduced on one side should also be added to the other side.
Example 1.1.2. Identify the center and radius of the circle with the given equa-
tion in each item. Sketch its graph, and indicate the center.
(1) x2

(2) x2

− 14x + 2y = −14
(3) 16x2

+ 96x − 40y = 315
Solution. The first step is to rewrite each equation in standard form by complet-
ing the square in x and in y. From the standard equation, we can determine the
center and radius.

, both the two squared
terms on the left side have coefficient 1. This is the reason why in the preceding
example, we divided by 16 at the last equation.
1.1.4. Situational Problems Involving Circles
Let us now take a look at some situational problems involving circles.
Example 1.1.3. A street with two lanes, each 10 ft wide, goes through a
semicircular tunnel with radius 12 ft. How high is the tunnel at the edge of each
lane? Round off to 2 decimal places.

Solution. We draw a coordinate system with origin at the middle of the highway,
as shown. Because of the given radius, the tunnel’s boundary is on the circle
x2
+ y2
= 122
. Point P is the point on the arc just above the edge of a lane, so
its x-coordinate is 10. We need its y-coordinate. We then solve 102
+ y2
= 122
for y > 0, giving us y = 2
√
11 ≈ 6.63 ft. 2
Example 1.1.4. A piece of a broken plate was dug up in an archaeological site.
It was put on top of a grid, as shown in Figure 1.13, with the arc of the plate
passing through A(−7, 0), B(1, 4) and C(7, 2). Find its center, and the standard
equation of the circle describing the boundary of the plate.
Figure 1.13
Figure 1.14
Solution. We first determine the center. It is the intersection of the perpendicular
bisectors of AB and BC (see Figure 1.14). Recall that, in a circle, the perpen-
dicular bisector of any chord passes through the center. Since the midpoint M
of AB is −7+1
2
, 0+4
2
= (−3, 2), and mAB = 4−0
1+7
= 1
2
, the perpendicular bisector
of AB has equation y − 2 = −2(x + 3), or equivalently, y = −2x − 4.

Since the midpoint N of BC is 1+7
2
, 4+2
2
= (4, 3), and mBC = 2−4
7−1
= −1
3
,
the perpendicular bisector of BC has equation y − 3 = 3(x − 4), or equivalently,
y = 3x − 9.
The intersection of the two lines y = 2x − 4 and y = 3x − 9 is (1, −6) (by
solving a system of linear equations). We can take the radius as the distance of
this point from any of A, B or C (it’s most convenient to use B in this case). We
then get r = 10. The standard equation is thus (x − 1)2
+ (y + 6)2
= 100. 2
More Solved Examples

ditions.

axis
(g) center (−2, −3), tangent to the x-
axis
(h) contains the points (−2, 0) and
(8, 0), radius 5
Figure 1.15
Solution:
(a) The radius is 3, so the equation is x2
+ y2
= 9.
(b) The radius is 8/2 = 4, so the equation is (x − 1)2
+ (y − 5)2
= 16.
(c) The center is (−2, 2) and the radius is 2,
so the equation is (x+2)2
+(y −2)2
= 4.
(d) The center is (2, 3) and the radius is 1,
so the equation is (x−2)2
+(y −3)2
= 1.
(e) The center is (1, −1) and by the
Pythagorean Theorem, the radius (see
Figure 1.16) is

3. A circular play area with radius 3 m is
to be partitioned into two sections using
a straight fence as shown in Figure 1.20.
How long should the fence be?
Solution: To determine the length of the
fence, we need to determine the coordi-
nates of its endpoints. From Figure 1.20,
the endpoints have x coordinate −1 and
are on the circle x2

Figure 1.21 Figure 1.22
Solution: The segment AB is vertical and has midpoint (−2, −0.5), so its
perpendicular bisector has equation y = −0.5. On the other hand, the segment
BC has slope −1/7 and midpoint (1.5, 2.5), so its perpendicular bisector has
equation y − 2.5 = 7(x − 1.5), or 7x − y − 8 = 0.
The center of the circle is the intersection of y = −0.5 and 7x − y − 8 = 0;
that is, the center is at 15

(3) Graphing parabolas
(4) Solving situational problems involving parabolas
Introduction
A parabola is one of the conic sections. We have already seen parabolas which
open upward or downward, as graphs of quadratic functions. Here, we will see
parabolas opening to the left or right. Applications of parabolas are presented
at the end.
1.2.1. Definition and Equation of a Parabola
Consider the point F(0, 2) and the line having equation y = −2, as shown in
Figure 1.25. What are the distances of A(4, 2) from F and from ? (The latter
is taken as the distance of A from A , the point on closest to A). How about
the distances of B(−8, 8) from F and from (from B )?
AF = 4 and AA = 4
BF = (−8 − 0)2 + (8 − 2)2 = 10 and BB = 10
There are other points P such that PF = PP (where P is the closest point on
line ). The collection of all such points forms a shape called a parabola.
Let F be a given point, and a given line not containing F. The set of
all points P such that its distances from F and from are the same, is
called a parabola. The point F is its focus and the line its directrix.

Figure 1.25
Figure 1.26
Consider a parabola with focus F(0, c) and directrix having equation y = −c.
See Figure 1.26. The focus and directrix are c units above and below, respectively,
the origin. Let P(x, y) be a point on the parabola so PF = PP , where P is the
point on closest to P. The point P has to be on the same side of the directrix
as the focus (if P was below, it would be closer to than it is from F).
PF = PP
x2 + (y − c)2 = y − (−c) = y + c
x2
+ y2
− 2cy + c2
= y2
+ 2cy + c2
x2
= 4cy
The vertex V is the point midway between the focus and the directrix. This
equation, x2
= 4cy, is then the standard equation of a parabola opening upward
with vertex V (0, 0).
Suppose the focus is F(0, −c) and the directrix is y = c. In this case, a
point P on the resulting parabola would be below the directrix (just like the
focus). Instead of opening upward, it will open downward. Consequently, PF =
x2 + (y + c)2 and PP = c − y (you may draw a version of Figure 1.26 for
this case). Computations similar to the one done above will lead to the equation

x2
= −4cy.
We collect here the features of the graph of a parabola with standard equation
x2
= 4cy or x2
= −4cy, where c > 0.
(1) vertex: origin V (0, 0)
• If the parabola opens upward, the vertex is the lowest point. If the
parabola opens downward, the vertex is the highest point.
(2) directrix: the line y = −c or y = c
• The directrix is c units below or above the vertex.
(3) focus: F(0, c) or F(0, −c)
• The focus is c units above or below the vertex.
• Any point on the parabola has the same distance from the focus as it
has from the directrix.
(4) axis of symmetry: x = 0 (the y-axis)
• This line divides the parabola into two parts which are mirror images
of each other.
Example 1.2.1. Determine the focus and directrix of the parabola with the
given equation. Sketch the graph, and indicate the focus, directrix, vertex, and
axis of symmetry.

1.2.2. More Properties of Parabolas
The parabolas we considered so far are “vertical” and have their vertices at the
origin. Some parabolas open instead horizontally (to the left or right), and some
have vertices not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given
in the box. The corresponding computations are more involved, but are similar
to the one above, and so are not shown anymore.
In all four cases below, we assume that c > 0. The vertex is V (h, k), and it
lies between the focus F and the directrix . The focus F is c units away from
the vertex V , and the directrix is c units away from the vertex. Recall that, for
any point on the parabola, its distance from the focus is the same as its distance
from the directrix.
(x − h)2
= 4c(y − k) (y − k)2
= 4c(x − h)
(x − h)2
= −4c(y − k) (y − k)2
= −4c(x − h)

axis of symmetry: x=h, vertical axis of symmetry: y=k, horizontal

Note the following observations:
• The equations are in terms of x − h and y − k: the vertex coordinates are
subtracted from the corresponding variable. Thus, replacing both h and k
with 0 would yield the case where the vertex is the origin. For instance, this
replacement applied to (x−h)2
= 4c(y −k) (parabola opening upward) would
yield x2
= 4cy, the first standard equation we encountered (parabola opening
upward, vertex at the origin).
• If the x-part is squared, the parabola is “vertical”; if the y-part is squared,
the parabola is “horizontal.” In a horizontal parabola, the focus is on the left
or right of the vertex, and the directrix is vertical.
• If the coefficient of the linear (non-squared) part is positive, the parabola
opens upward or to the right; if negative, downward or to the left.
Example 1.2.3. Figure 1.27 shows the graph of parabola, with only its focus
and vertex indicated. Find its standard equation. What is its directrix and its
axis of symmetry?
Solution. The vertex is V (5, −4) and the focus is F(3, −4). From these, we
deduce the following: h = 5, k = −4, c = 2 (the distance of the focus from the
vertex). Since the parabola opens to the left, we use the template (y − k)2
=
−4c(x − h). Our equation is
(y + 4)2
= −8(x − 5).
Its directrix is c = 2 units to the right of V , which is x = 7. Its axis is the
horizontal line through V : y = −4.

The standard equation (y + 4)2
= −8(x − 5) from the preceding example can
be rewritten as y2
+ 8x + 8y − 24 = 0, an equation of the parabola in general
form.
If the equation is given in the general form Ax2
+Cx+Dy +E = 0 (A and C
are nonzero) or By2
+Cx+Dy+E = 0 (B and C are nonzero), we can determine
the standard form by completing the square in both variables.
Example 1.2.4. Determine the vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry
of the parabola with the given equation. Sketch the parabola, and include these
points and lines.
(1) y2
− 5x + 12y = −16
(2) 5x2
+ 30x + 24y = 51
Solution. (1) We complete the square on y, and move x to the other side.
y2
+ 12y = 5x − 16
y2
+ 12y + 36 = 5x − 16 + 36 = 5x + 20
(y + 6)2
= 5(x + 4)
The parabola opens to the right. It has vertex V (−4, −6). From 4c = 5, we
get c = 5
4
= 1.25. The focus is c = 1.25 units to the right of V : F(−2.75, −6).
The (vertical) directrix is c = 1.25 units to the left of V : x = −5.25. The
(horizontal) axis is through V : y = −6.

(2) We complete the square on x, and move y to the other side.

(y − 4)
In the last line, we divided by 5 for the squared part not to have any coeffi-
cient. The parabola opens downward. It has vertex V (−3, 4).
From 4c = 24
5
, we get c = 6
5
= 1.2. The focus is c = 1.2 units below V :
F(−3, 2.8). The (horizontal) directrix is c = 1.2 units above V : y = 5.2. The
(vertical) axis is through V : x = −3.
Example 1.2.5. A parabola has focus F(7, 9) and directrix y = 3. Find its
standard equation.
Solution. The directrix is horizontal, and the focus is above it. The parabola
then opens upward and its standard equation has the form (x − h)2
= 4c(y − k).
Since the distance from the focus to the directrix is 2c = 9 − 3 = 6, then c = 3.
Thus, the vertex is V (7, 6), the point 3 units below F. The standard equation is
then (x − 7)2
= 12(y − 6). 2
1.2.3. Situational Problems Involving Parabolas
Let us now solve some situational problems involving parabolas.
Example 1.2.6. A satellite dish has a shape called a paraboloid, where each
cross-section is a parabola. Since radio signals (parallel to the axis) will bounce

off the surface of the dish to the focus, the receiver should be placed at the focus.
How far should the receiver be from the vertex, if the dish is 12 ft across, and 4.5
ft deep at the vertex?
Solution. The second figure above shows a cross-section of the satellite dish drawn
on a rectangular coordinate system, with the vertex at the origin. From the
problem, we deduce that (6, 4.5) is a point on the parabola. We need the distance
of the focus from the vertex, i.e., the value of c in x2
= 4cy.
x2
= 4cy
62
= 4c(4.5)
c =
62
4 · 4.5
= 2
Thus, the receiver should be 2 ft away from the vertex. 2
Example 1.2.7. The cable of a suspension bridge hangs in the shape of a
parabola. The towers supporting the cable are 400 ft apart and 150 ft high.
If the cable, at its lowest, is 30 ft above the bridge at its midpoint, how high is
the cable 50 ft away (horizontally) from either tower?

Solution. Refer to the figure above, where the parabolic cable is drawn with
its vertex on the y-axis 30 ft above the origin. We may write its equation as
(x − 0)2
= a(y − 30); since we don’t need the focal distance, we use the simpler
variable a in place of 4c. Since the towers are 150 ft high and 400 ft apart, we
deduce from the figure that (200, 150) is a point on the parabola.
x2
= a(y − 30)
2002
= a(150 − 30)
a =
2002
120
=
1000
3
The parabola has equation x2
= 1000
3
(y − 30), or equivalently,
y = 0.003x2
+ 30. For the two points on the parabola 50 ft away from the
towers, x = 150 or x = −150. If x = 150, then
y = 0.003(1502
) + 30 = 97.5.
Thus, the cable is 97.5 ft high 50 ft away from either tower. (As expected, we
get the same answer from x = −150.) 2

Solution: Since the focus is 6 units to the right of the directrix, the parabola

8. A flashlight is shaped like a
paraboloid and the light source
is placed at the focus so that
the light bounces off parallel to

done to maximize illumination.
A particular flashlight has its
light source located 1 cm from
the base and is 6 cm deep; see
Figure 1.34. What is the width
of the flashlight’s opening?
Figure 1.34
Solution: Let the base (the vertex) of the flashlight be the point V (0, 0).
Then the light source (the focus) is at F(0, 1); so c = 1. Hence, the parabola’s
equation is x2
= 4y. To get the width of the opening, we need the x coordinates
of the points on the parabola with y coordinate 6.
x2
= 4(6) ⇒ x = ±2

Therefore, the width of the opening is 2 × 2

9. An object thrown from a height of 2
m above the ground follows a parabolic
path until the object falls to the ground;
see Figure 1.35. If the object reaches
a maximum height (measured from the
ground) of 7 m after travelling a hor-
izontal distance of 4 m, determine the
horizontal distance between the object’s
initial and final positions.

Solution: Let V (0, 7) be the parabola’s vertex, which corresponds to the high-
est point reached by the object. Then the parabola’s equation is of the form
x2
= −4c(y − 7) and the object’s starting point is at (−4, 2). Then
(−4)2
= −4c(2 − 7) ⇒ c =

Lesson 1.3. Ellipses
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) define an ellipse;
(2) determine the standard form of equation of an ellipse;
(3) graph an ellipse in a rectangular coordinate system; and
(4) solve situational problems involving conic sections (ellipses).
Lesson Outline
(1) Definition of an ellipse
(2) Derivation of the standard equation of an ellipse
(3) Graphing ellipses
(4) Solving situational problems involving ellipses
Introduction
Unlike circle and parabola, an ellipse is one of the conic sections that most stu-
dents have not encountered formally before. Its shape is a bounded curve which
looks like a flattened circle. The orbits of the planets in our solar system around
the sun happen to be elliptical in shape. Also, just like parabolas, ellipses have
reflective properties that have been used in the construction of certain structures.
These applications and more will be encountered in this lesson.
1.3.1. Definition and Equation of an Ellipse
Consider the points F1(−3, 0) and F2(3, 0), as shown in Figure 1.36. What is the
sum of the distances of A(4, 2.4) from F1 and from F2? How about the sum of
the distances of B (and C(0, −4)) from F1 and from F2?
AF1 + AF2 = 7.4 + 2.6 = 10
BF1 + BF2 = 3.8 + 6.2 = 10
CF1 + CF2 = 5 + 5 = 10
There are other points P such that PF1 + PF2 = 10. The collection of all such
points forms a shape called an ellipse.

Let F1 and F2 be two distinct points. The set of all points P, whose
distances from F1 and from F2 add up to a certain constant, is called
an ellipse. The points F1 and F2 are called the foci of the ellipse.
Given are two points on the x-axis, F1(−c, 0) and F2(c, 0), the foci, both c
units away from their center (0, 0). See Figure 1.37. Let P(x, y) be a point on
the ellipse. Let the common sum of the distances be 2a (the coefficient 2 will
make computations simpler). Thus, we have PF1 + PF2 = 2a.

implies 2a > 2c, so a > c.

(1) center: origin (0, 0)
(2) foci: F1(−c, 0) and F2(c, 0)
• Each focus is c units away from the center.
• For any point on the ellipse, the sum of its distances from the foci is 2a.
(3) vertices: V1(−a, 0) and V2(a, 0)
• The vertices are points on the ellipse, collinear with the center and foci.
• If y = 0, then x = ±a. Each vertex is a units away from the center.
• The segment V1V2 is called the major axis. Its length is 2a. It divides
the ellipse into two congruent parts.
(4) covertices: W1(0, −b) and W2(0, b)
• The segment through the center, perpendicular to the major axis, is the
minor axis. It meets the ellipse at the covertices. It divides the ellipse
into two congruent parts.
• If x = 0, then y = ±b. Each covertex is b units away from the center.
• The minor axis W1W2 is 2b units long. Since a > b, the major axis is
longer than the minor axis.

1.3.2. More Properties of Ellipses
The ellipses we have considered so far are “horizontal” and have the origin as their
centers. Some ellipses have their foci aligned vertically, and some have centers
not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given in the box.
The derivations are more involved, but are similar to the one above, and so are
not shown anymore.
In all four cases below, a > b and c =
√
a2 − b2. The foci F1 and F2 are c
units away from the center. The vertices V1 and V2 are a units away from the
center, the major axis has length 2a, the covertices W1 and W2 are b units away
from the center, and the minor axis has length 2b. Recall that, for any point on
the ellipse, the sum of its distances from the foci is 2a.

1.3.3. Situational Problems Involving Ellipses
Let us now apply the concept of ellipse to some situational problems.
Example 1.3.6. A tunnel has the shape of a semiellipse that is 15 ft high at
the center, and 36 ft across at the base. At most how high should a passing truck
be, if it is 12 ft wide, for it to be able to fit through the tunnel? Round off your
answer to two decimal places.
Solution. Refer to the figure above. If we draw the semiellipse on a rectangular
coordinate system, with its center at the origin, an equation of the ellipse which
contains it, is
x2
182
+
y2
152
= 1.
To maximize its height, the corners of the truck, as shown in the figure, would
have to just touch the ellipse. Since the truck is 12 ft wide, let the point (6, n)
be the corner of the truck in the first quadrant, where n > 0, is the (maximum)
height of the truck. Since this point is on the ellipse, it should fit the equation.
Thus, we have

Example 1.3.7. The orbit of a planet has the shape of an ellipse, and on one
of the foci is the star around which it revolves. The planet is closest to the star
when it is at one vertex. It is farthest from the star when it is at the other vertex.
Suppose the closest and farthest distances of the planet from this star, are 420
million kilometers and 580 million kilometers, respectively. Find the equation of
the ellipse, in standard form, with center at the origin and the star at the x-axis.
Assume all units are in millions of kilometers.
Solution. In the figure above, the orbit is drawn as a horizontal ellipse with
center at the origin. From the planet’s distances from the star, at its closest
and farthest points, it follows that the major axis is 2a = 420 + 580 = 1000
(million kilometers), so a = 500. If we place the star at the positive x-axis,
then it is c = 500 − 420 = 80 units away from the center. Therefore, we get

still be the same. 2

gallery is 90 feet long and the foci are 50 feet apart, how high is the gallery at
its center?
Solution: We set up a Cartesian coordinate system by assigning the center of
the semiellipse as the origin. The point on the ceiling right above the center is a
covertex of the ellipse. Since 2a = 90 and 2c = 50; then b2

Introduction
Just like ellipse, a hyperbola is one of the conic sections that most students
have not encountered formally before. Its graph consists of two unbounded
branches which extend in opposite directions. It is a misconception that each
branch is a parabola. This is not true, as parabolas and hyperbolas have very
different features. An application of hyperbolas in basic location and navigation
schemes are presented in an example and some exercises.

There are other points P such that |PF1 − PF2| = 6. The collection of all such
points forms a shape called a hyperbola, which consists of two disjoint branches.
For points P on the left branch, PF2 − PF1 = 6; for those on the right branch,
PF1 − PF2 = 6.

Let F1 and F2 be two distinct points. The set of all points P, whose
distances from F1 and from F2 differ by a certain constant, is called a
hyperbola. The points F1 and F2 are called the foci of the hyperbola.
In Figure 1.43, given are two points on the x-axis, F1(−c, 0) and F2(c, 0), the
foci, both c units away from their midpoint (0, 0). This midpoint is the center
of the hyperbola. Let P(x, y) be a point on the hyperbola, and let the absolute
value of the difference of the distances of P from F1 and F2, be 2a (the coefficient
2 will make computations simpler). Thus, |PF1 − PF2| = 2a, and so
(x + c)2 + y2 − (x − c)2 + y2 = 2a.
Algebraic manipulations allow us to rewrite this into the much simpler
x2
a2
−
y2
b2
= 1, where b =
√
c2 − a2.
When we let b =
√
c2 − a2, we assumed c > a. To see why this is true, suppose
that P is closer to F2, so PF1 − PF2 = 2a. Refer to Figure 1.43. Suppose also
that P is not on the x-axis, so PF1F2 is formed. From the triangle inequality,
F1F2 + PF2 > PF1. Thus, 2c > PF1 − PF2 = 2a, so c > a.
Now we present a derivation. For now, assume P is closer to F2 so PF1 > PF2,
and PF1 − PF2 = 2a.
PF1 = 2a + PF2

intersecting at the center C. Two sides are congruent and parallel to
the transverse axis V1V2. The other two sides are congruent and parallel

1.4.2. More Properties of Hyperbolas
The hyperbolas we considered so far are “horizontal” and have the origin as their
centers. Some hyperbolas have their foci aligned vertically, and some have centers
not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given in the box.
The derivations are more involved, but are similar to the one above, and so are
not shown anymore.
In all four cases below, we let c =
√
a2 + b2. The foci F1 and F2 are c units
away from the center C. The vertices V1 and V2 are a units away from the center.
The transverse axis V1V2 has length 2a. The conjugate axis has length 2b and is
perpendicular to the transverse axis. The transverse and conjugate axes bisect
each other at their intersection point, C. Each branch of a hyperbola gets closer
and closer to the asymptotes, in the direction towards which the branch extends.
The equations of the asymptotes can be determined by replacing 1 in the standard
equation by 0. The asymptotes can be drawn as the extended diagonals of the
auxiliary rectangle determined by the transverse and conjugate axes. Recall that,

In the standard equation, aside from being positive, there are no other re-
strictions on a and b. In fact, a and b can even be equal. The orientation of the
hyperbola is determined by the variable appearing in the first term (the positive
term): the corresponding axis is where the two branches will open. For example,
if the variable in the first term is x, the hyperbola is “horizontal”: the transverse

Solution. The midpoint (2, −3) of the foci is the center of the hyperbola. Each
focus is c = 7 units away from the center. From the given difference, 2a = 10 so

1.4.3. Situational Problems Involving Hyperbolas
Let us now give an example on an application of hyperbolas.
Example 1.4.6. An explosion was heard by two stations 1200 m apart, located
at F1(−600, 0) and F2(600, 0). If the explosion was heard in F1 two seconds before
it was heard in F2, identify the possible locations of the explosion. Use 340 m/s
as the speed of sound.
Solution. Using the given speed of sound, we can deduce that the sound traveled
340(2) = 680 m farther in reaching F2 than in reaching F1. This is then the
difference of the distances of the explosion from the two stations. Thus, the
explosion is on a hyperbola with foci are F1 and F2, on the branch closer to F1.

7. Two LORAN (long range navigation) stations A and B are situated along a
straight shore, where A is 200 miles west of B. These stations transmit radio
signals at a speed 186 miles per millisecond. The captain of a ship travelling
on the open sea intends to enter a harbor that is located 40 miles east of
station A.
Due to the its location, the harbor experiences a time difference in receiving
the signals from both stations. The captain navigates the ship into the harbor
by following a path where the ship experiences the same time difference as the
harbor.
(a) What time difference between station signals should the captain be look-
ing for in order the ship to make a successful entry into the harbor?
(b) If the desired time difference is achieved, determine the location of the
ship if it is 75 miles offshore.
Solution:
(a) Let H represent the harbor on the shoreline. Note that BH−AH = 160−
40 = 120. The time difference on the harbor is given by 120÷186 ≈ 0.645
milliseconds. This is the time difference needed to be maintained in order
to for the ship to enter the harbor.
(b) Situate the stations A and B on the Cartesian plane so that A (−100, 0)
and B (100, 0). Let P represent the ship on the sea, which has coordinates
(h, 75). Since PB − PA = 120, then it should follow that h < 0. More-
over, P should lie on the left branch of the hyperbola whose equation is
given by

Lesson 1.5. More Problems on Conic Sections
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) recognize the equation and important characteristics of the different types of
conic sections; and
(2) solve situational problems involving conic sections.
Lesson Outline
(1) Conic sections with associated equations in general form
(2) Problems involving characteristics of various conic sections
(3) Solving situational problems involving conic sections
Introduction
In this lesson, we will identify the conic section from a given equation. We
will analyze the properties of the identified conic section. We will also look at
problems that use the properties of the different conic sections. This will allow
us to synthesize what has been covered so far.
1.5.1. Identifying the Conic Section by Inspection
The equation of a circle may be written in standard form
Ax2
+ Ay2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0,
that is, the coefficients of x2
and y2
are the same. However, it does not follow
that if the coefficients of x2
and y2
are the same, the graph is a circle.

For a circle with equation (x − h)2
+ (y − k)2
= r2
, we have r2
> 0. This is
not the case for the standard equations of (A) and (B).
In (A), because the sum of two squares can only be 0 if and only if each square
is 0, it follows that x − 1

= 0 and y + 3

= 0. The graph is thus the single point

In (B), no real values of x and y can make the nonnegative left side equal to
the negative right side. The graph is then the empty set.
Let us recall the general form of the equations of the other conic sections. We
may write the equations of conic sections we discussed in the general form
Ax2
+ By2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0.
Some terms may vanish, depending on the kind of conic section.
(1) Circle: both x2
and y2
appear, and their coefficients are the same
Ax2
+ Ay2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0
Example: 18x2
+ 18y2
− 24x + 48y − 5 = 0
Degenerate cases: a point, and the empty set
(2) Parabola: exactly one of x2
or y2
appears
Ax2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0 (D = 0, opens upward or downward)
By2
+ Cx + Dy + E = 0 (C = 0, opens to the right or left)
Examples: 3x2
− 12x + 2y + 26 = 0 (opens downward)
− 2y2
+ 3x + 12y − 15 = 0 (opens to the right)
(3) Ellipse: both x2
and y2
appear, and their coefficients A and B have the same
sign and are unequal
Examples: 2x2
+ 5y2
+ 8x − 10y − 7 = 0 (horizontal major axis)
4x2
+ y2
− 16x − 6y + 21 = 0 (vertical major axis)
If A = B, we will classify the conic as a circle, instead of an ellipse.
Degenerate cases: a point, and the empty set
(4) Hyperbola: both x2
and y2
appear, and their coefficients A and B have dif-
ferent signs
Examples: 5x2
− 3y2
− 20x − 18y − 22 = 0 (horizontal transverse axis)
− 4x2
+ y2
+ 24x + 4y − 36 = 0 (vertical transverse axis)
Degenerate case: two intersecting lines
The following examples will show the possible degenerate conic (a point, two
intersecting lines, or the empty set) as the graph of an equation following a similar
pattern as the non-degenerate cases.

A Note on Identifying a Conic Section
by Its General Equation
It is only after transforming a given general equation to standard
form that we can identify its graph either as one of the degenerate
conic sections (a point, two intersecting lines, or the empty set) or as
one of the non-degenerate conic sections (circle, parabola, ellipse, or
hyperbola).
1.5.2. Problems Involving Different Conic Sections
The following examples require us to use the properties of different conic sections
at the same time.
Example 1.5.1. A circle has center at the focus of the parabola y2
+16x+4y =
44, and is tangent to the directrix of this parabola. Find its standard equation.
Solution. The standard equation of the parabola is (y + 2)2
= −16(x − 3). Its
vertex is V (3, −2). Since 4c = 16 or c = 4, its focus is F(−1, −2) and its directrix
is x = 7. The circle has center at (−1, −2) and radius 8, which is the distance
from F to the directrix. Thus, the equation of the circle is
(x + 1)2
+ (y + 2)2
= 64. 2
Example 1.5.2. The vertices and foci of 5x2
− 4y2
+ 50x + 16y + 29 = 0 are,
respectively, the foci and vertices of an ellipse. Find the standard equation of
this ellipse.
Solution. We first write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form:
(x + 5)2

−
(y − 2)2

= 1.
For this hyperbola, using the notations ah, bh, and ch to refer to a, b, and c of
the standard equation of the hyperbola, respectively, we have ah = 4, bh = 2

ch = a2

h = 6, so we have the following points:

center: (−5, 2)

2. The center of a circle is the vertex of the parabola y2
+ 24x − 12y + 132 = 0.
If the circle intersects the parabola’s directrix at a point where y = 11, find
the equation of the circle.
Solution:
y2
− 12y = −24x − 132
y2
− 12y + 36 = −24x − 132 + 36
(y − 6)2
= −24x − 96
(y − 6)2
= −24(x + 4)
The vertex of the parabola is (−4, 6) and its directrix is x = 2. Thus, the
circle has center (−4, 6) and contains the point (2, 11). Then its radius is
(−4 − 2)2 + (6 − 11)2 =

61. Therefore, the equation of the circle is (x +

equation of the ellipse.
Solution:
9x2
− 72x − 16y2
− 128y − 256 = 0
9(x2
− 8x) − 16(y2
+ 8y) = 256

The vertices of the hyperbola are (0, −4) and (8, −4). Since these are the foci
of the ellipse, the ellipse is horizontal with center C(4, −4); also, the focal
distance of the ellipse is c = 4. The sum of the distances of the point (8, −10)
from the foci is
(8 − 0)2 + (−10 − (−4))2 + (8 − 8)2 + (−10 − (−4))2 = 16.

Introduction
After recalling the techniques used in solving systems of linear equations in
Grade 8, we extend these methods to solving a system of equations to systems
in which the equations are not necessarily linear. In this lesson, the equations
are restricted to linear and quadratic types, although it is possible to adapt the

methodology to systems with other types of equations. We focus on quadratic
equations for two reasons: to include a graphical representation of the solution
and to ensure that either a solution is obtained or it is determined that there is
no solution. The latter is possible because of the quadratic formula.
1.6.1. Review of Techniques in Solving Systems of Linear
Equations
Recall the methods we used to solve systems of linear equations.There were three
methods used: substitution, elimination, and graphical.
Example 1.6.1. Use the substitution method to solve the system, and sketch
the graphs in one Cartesian plane showing the point of intersection.



4x + y = 6
5x + 3y = 4
Solution. Isolate the variable y in the first equation, and then substitute into the
second equation.
4x + y = 6
=⇒ y = 6 − 4x
5x + 3y = 4
5x + 3(6 − 4x) = 4
−7x + 18 = 4
x = 2
y = 6 − 4(2) = −2
Example 1.6.2. Use the elimination method to solve the system, and sketch the
graphs in one Cartesian plane showing the point of intersection.



2x + 7 = 3y
4x + 7y = 12
Solution. We eliminate first the variable x. Rewrite the first equation wherein
only the constant term is on the right-hand side of the equation, then multiply
it by −2, and then add the resulting equation to the second equation.

1.6.2. Solving Systems of Equations Using Substitution
We begin our extension with a system involving one linear equation and one
quadratic equation. In this case, it is always possible to use substitution by
solving the linear equation for one of the variables.
Example 1.6.3. Solve the following system, and sketch the graphs in one Carte-
sian plane. 


x − y + 2 = 0
y − 1 = x2
Solution. We solve for y in terms of x in the first equation, and substitute this
expression to the second equation.
x − y + 2 = 0 =⇒ y = x + 2
y − 1 = x2
(x + 2) − 1 = x2

The first equation represents a line with x-intercept −2 and y-intercept 2,
while the second equation represents a parabola with vertex at (0, 1) and which
opens upward.
1.6.3. Solving Systems of Equations Using Elimination
Elimination method is also useful in systems of nonlinear equations. Sometimes,
some systems need both techniques (substitution and elimination) to solve them.
Example 1.6.4. Solve the following system:



y2
− 4x − 6y = 11
4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2
.
Solution 1. We expand the second equation, and eliminate the variable x by
adding the equations.
4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2
=⇒ 12 − 4x = y2
− 6y + 9 =⇒ y2
+ 4x − 6y = 3



y2
− 4x − 6y = 11
y2
+ 4x − 6y = 3
Adding these equations, we get
2y2
−12y = 14 =⇒ y2
−6y−7 = 0 =⇒ (y−7)(y+1) = 0 =⇒ y = 7 or y = −1.
Solving for x in the second equation, we have
x = 3 −
(y − 3)2

y = 7 =⇒ x = −1 and y = −1 =⇒ x = −1
Solutions: (−1, 7) and (−1, −1) 2
The graphs of the equations in the preceding example with the points of
intersection are shown below.
Usually, the general form is more convenient to use in solving systems of
equations. However, sometimes the solution can be simplified by writing the
equations in standard form. Moreover, the standard form is best for graphing.
Let us again solve the previous example in a different way.
Solution 2. By completing the square, we can change the first equation into stan-
dard form:
y2
− 4x − 6y = 11 =⇒ 4(x + 5) = (y − 3)2
.



4(x + 5) = (y − 3)2
4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2
Using substitution or the transitive property of equality, we get
4(x + 5) = 4(3 − x) =⇒ x = −1.
Substituting this value of x into the second equation, we have
4[3 − (−1)] = (y − 3)2
=⇒ 16 = (y − 3)2
=⇒ y = 7 or y = −1.
The solutions are (−1, 7) and (−1, −1), same as Solution 1. 2

Example 1.6.5. Solve the system and graph the curves:



(x − 3)2
+ (y − 5)2
= 10
x2
+ (y + 1)2
= 25.
Solution. Expanding both equations, we obtain



x2
+ y2
− 6x − 10y + 24 = 0
x2
+ y2
+ 2y − 24 = 0.
Subtracting these two equations, we get
−6x − 12y + 48 = 0 =⇒ x + 2y − 8 = 0
x = 8 − 2y.
We can substitute x = 8 − 2y to either the first equation or the second equation.
For convenience, we choose the second equation.
x2
+ y2
+ 2y − 24 = 0
(8 − 2y)2
+ y2
+ 2y − 24 = 0
y2
− 6y + 8 = 0
y = 2 or y = 4
y = 2 =⇒ x = 8 − 2(2) = 4 and y = 4 =⇒ x = 8 − 2(4) = 0
The solutions are (4, 2) and (0, 4).
The graphs of both equations are circles. One has center (3, 5) and radius√
10, while the other has center (0, −1) and radius 5. The graphs with the points
of intersection are show below.

1.6.4. Applications of Systems of Nonlinear Equations
Let us apply systems of equations to a problem involving modern-day television
sets.
Example 1.6.6. The screen size of television sets is given in inches. This
indicates the length of the diagonal. Screens of the same size can come in different
shapes. Wide-screen TV’s usually have screens with aspect ratio 16 : 9, indicating
the ratio of the width to the height. Older TV models often have aspect ratio
4 : 3. A 40-inch LED TV has screen aspect ratio 16 : 9. Find the length and the
width of the screen.
Solution. Let w represent the width and h the height of the screen. Then, by
Pythagorean Theorem, we have the system



w2
+ h2
= 402
=⇒ w2
+ h2
= 1600
w
h
=
16
9
=⇒ h =
9w
16
w2
+ h2
= 1600 =⇒ w2
+
9w
16
2
= 1600
337w2
256
= 1600
w =
409 600
337
≈ 34.86
h =
19x
16
≈
19(34.86)
16
= 19.61
Therefore, a 40-inch TV with aspect ratio 16 : 9 is about 35.86 inches wide and
19.61 inches high. 2

where the first equation yields x = y + 12. Combining this with the second
equation yields (y + 12)2

the ordered pairs (12, 0) and (0, −12).

Lesson 2.1. Review of Sequences and Series
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) illustrate a series; and
(2) differentiate a series from a sequence.
Lesson Outline
(1) Sequences and series
(2) Different types of sequences and series (Fibonacci sequence, arithmetic and
geometric sequence and series, and harmonic series)
(3) Difference between sequence and series
Introduction
In this lesson, we will review the definitions and different types of sequences
and series.
Lesson Proper
Recall the following definitions:
A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers
or the set {1, 2, 3, . . . , n}.
A series represents the sum of the terms of a sequence.
If a sequence is finite, we will refer to the sum of the terms of the
sequence as the series associated with the sequence. If the sequence has
infinitely many terms, the sum is defined more precisely in calculus.
A sequence is a list of numbers (separated by commas), while a series is a
sum of numbers (separated by “+” or “−” sign). As an illustration, 1, −1

, 1
3
, −1

is a sequence, and 1 − 1
2
+ 1

− 1
4
= 7
12
is its associated series.
The sequence with nth term an is usually denoted by {an}, and the associated
series is given by
S = a1 + a2 + a3 + · · · + an.

Example 2.1.1. Determine the first five terms of each defined sequence, and
give their associated series.
(1) {2 − n}
(2) {1 + 2n + 3n2
}
(3) {(−1)n
}
(4) {1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n}
Solution. We denote the nth term of a sequence by an, and S = a1 + a2 + a3 +
a4 + a5.
(1) an = 2 − n
First five terms: a1 = 2 − 1 = 1, a2 = 2 − 2 = 0, a3 = −1, a4 = −2, a5 = −3
Associated series: S = a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 = 1 + 0 − 1 − 2 − 3 = −5
(2) an = 1 + 2n + 3n2
First five terms: a1 = 1 + 2 · 1 + 3 · 12
= 6, a2 = 17, a3 = 34, a4 = 57, a5 = 86
Associated series: S = 6 + 17 + 34 + 57 + 86 = 200
(3) an = (−1)n
First five terms: a1 = (−1)1
= −1, a2 = (−1)2
= 1, a3 = −1, a4 = 1,
a5 = −1
Associated series: S = −1 + 1 − 1 + 1 − 1 = −1
(4) an = 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n
First five terms: a1 = 1, a2 = 1+2 = 3, a3 = 1+2+3 = 6, a4 = 1+2+3+4 =
10, a5 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
Associated series: S = 1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 = 35 2
The sequence {an} defined by an = an−1 + an−2 for n ≥ 3, where a1 =
a2 = 1, is called a Fibonacci sequence. It terms are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, . . ..
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first
is obtained by adding a constant (called the common difference) to the
preceding term.
If the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is an and the common difference is
d, then
an = a1 + (n − 1)d.
The associated arithmetic series with n terms is given by
Sn =
n(a1 + an)
2
=
n[2a1 + (n − 1)d]

A geometric sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first
is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by a constant (called
the common ratio).
If the nth term of a geometric sequence is an and the common ratio is r, then
an = a1rn−1
.
The associated geometric series with n terms is given by
Sn =



na1 if r = 1
a1(1 − rn
)
(1 − r)
if r = 1.
The proof of this sum formula is an example in Lesson 2.3.
When −1 < r < 1, the infinite geometric series
a1 + a1r + a1r2
+ · · · + a1rn−1
+ · · ·
has a sum, and is given by
S =
a1
1 − r
.
If {an} is an arithmetic sequence, then the sequence with nth term
bn = 1
an
is a harmonic sequence.
More Solved Examples
1. How many terms are there in an arithmetic sequence with first term 5, common
difference −3, and last term −76?
Solution: a1 = 5, d = −3, an = −76. Find n.
an = 5 + (n − 1)(−3) = −76
n − 1 =
−76 − 5
−3
= 27, ⇒ n = 28
2. List the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence if the 25th term is 35 and
the 30th term is 5.
Solution: a24 = a1 + 24d = 35 and a30 = a1 + 29d = 5
Eliminating a1 by subtraction, 5d = −30, or d = −6
This implies that a1 = 179, and the first three terms are 179, 173, 167.

3. Find the sum of all positive three-digit odd integers.
Solution: Find sn if a1 = 101 = 1 + 50(2), an = 999 = 1 + 499(2).
There are 450 terms from a1 to an, hence n = 450.
sn =
450(101 + 999)

= 247 500
4. The seventh term of a geometric sequence is −6 and the tenth term is 162.
Find the fifth term.
Solution: a7 = a1r6
= −6 and a10 = a1r9
= 162.
Eliminating a1 by division:
a10
a7

5. Insert three numbers (called geometric means) between 6 and 32/27, so that
the five numbers form a geometric sequence.
Solution: If a1 = 6 and there are three terms between a1 and 32/27, then
a5 = 32/27.
a5 = 6(r)4
=

6. A ball dropped from the top of a building 180 m high always rebounds three-
fourths the distance it has fallen. How far (up and down) will the ball have
traveled when it hits the ground for the 6th time?
Solution: a1 = 180, r = 3/4, n = 6
s6 =

The ball traveled 2s6 − 180 ≈ 1003.71 meters.
7. The Cantor set is formed as follows. Divide a segment of one unit into three
equal parts. Remove the middle one-third of the segment. From each of the
two remaining segments, remove the middle third. From each of the remaining
segments, remove the middle third. This process is continued indefinitely. Find
the total length of the segments removed.
Solution: Let an represent the total length removed in the nth iteration. Hence
a1 = 1/3, a2 = 2/9, a3 = 4/27, and so on.
This means r =
2
3
. The sum to infinity is s =

= 1.
The total length of the segments removed is 1 unit.

8. The 7th term of an arithmetic sequence is 25. Its first, third, and 21st term
form a geometric sequence. Find the first term and the common difference of
the sequence.
Solution: a7 = a1 + 6d = 25 ⇒ a1 = 25 − 6d
a3
a1
=
a21
a3
, or a1a21 = a2
3.
(25 − 6d) (25 − 6d + 20d) = (25 − 6d + 2d)2
d = 0 and an = 25 for all n, or d = 4 and a1 = 1.
9. Let {an} be an arithmetic sequence and {bn} an arithmetic sequence of positive
integers. Prove that the sequence with nth
term abn is arithmetic.
Solution: Let the common difference of {an} be d and of {bn} be c.
abn+1 − abn = [a1 + (bn+1 − 1) d] − [a1 + (bn − 1) d] = bn+1 − bn = c
This proves that the difference between any two consecutive terms of {abn } is
a constant independent of n.
10. Let {an} be a geometric sequence. Prove that {a3
n} is a geometric sequence.
Solution: Let r be the common ratio of {an}.
a3
n = (a1rn−1
)
3
= a3
1 (r3
)
n−1
.
Thus {a3
n} is a geometric sequence with first term a3
1 and common ratio r3
.
11. If {an} is a sequence such that its first three terms form both an arithmetic
and a geometric sequence, what can be concluded about {an}?
Solution: There is a real number r such that a2 = a1r and a3 = a1r2
.
Since a1, a2 and a3 form an arithmetic sequence, then a2 − a1 = a3 − a2, or
a3 − 2a2 + a1 = 0.
a3 − 2a2 + a1 = a1r2
− 2a1r + a1 = a1
(r − 1)2
= 0 ⇒ a1 = 0 or r = 1.
If a1 = 0, then a1 = a2 = a3 = 0. If r = 1, then a1 = a2 = a3.
In all cases, a1 = a2 = a3.

(2) Evaluate sums written in sigma notation
(3) Properties of sigma notation
(4) Calculating sums using the properties of sigma notation
Introduction
The sigma notation is a shorthand for writing sums. In this lesson, we will
see the power of this notation in computing sums of numbers as well as algebraic
expressions.
2.2.1. Writing and Evaluating Sums in Sigma Notation
Mathematicians use the sigma notation to denote a sum. The uppercase Greek
letter Σ (sigma) is used to indicate a “sum.” The notation consists of several
components or parts.
Let f(i) be an expression involving an integer i. The expression
f(m) + f(m + 1) + f(m + 2) + · · · + f(n)
can be compactly written in sigma notation, and we write it as
n
i=m
f(i),
which is read “the summation of f(i) from i = m to n.” Here, m
and n are integers with m ≤ n, f(i) is a term (or summand) of the
summation, and the letter i is the index, m the lower bound, and n
the upper bound.
Example 2.2.1. Expand each summation, and simplify if possible.

2.2.2. Properties of Sigma Notation
We start with finding a formula for the sum of
n
i=1
i = 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n
in terms of n.
The sum can be evaluated in different ways. One informal but simple approach
is pictorial.
n
i=1
i = 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n =
n(n + 1)
2
Another way is to use the formula for an arithmetic series with a1 = 1 and
an = n:
S =
n(a1 + an)
2
=
n(n + 1)
2
.
We now derive some useful summation facts. They are based on the axioms
of arithmetic addition and multiplication.

cf(i) = c
n
i=m
f(i), c any real number.
Proof.

Note that the terms, f(m+1), f(m+2), . . . , f(n), all cancel out. Hence, we have

[f(i + 1) − f(i)] = f(n + 1) − f(m). 2

Introduction
We have derived and used formulas for the terms of arithmetic and geometric
sequences and series. These formulas and many other theorems involving positive
integers can be proven with the use of a technique called mathematical induction.
2.3.1. Proving Summation Identities
The Principle of Mathematical Induction
Let P(n) be a property or statement about an integer n. Suppose
that the following conditions can be proven:
(1) P(n0) is true (that is, the statement is true when n = n0).
(2) If P(k) is true for some integer k ≥ n0, then P(k + 1) is true
(that is, if the statement is true for n = k, then it is also true for
n = k + 1).
Then the statement P(n) is true for all integers n ≥ n0.
The Principle of Mathematical Induction is often compared to climbing an
infinite staircase. First, you need to be able to climb up to the first step. Second,
if you are on any step (n = k), you must be able to climb up to the next step
(n = k + 1). If you can do these two things, then you will be able to climb up
the infinite staircase.
Part 1 Part 2
Another analogy of the Principle of Mathematical Induction that is used is
toppling an infinite line of standing dominoes. You need to give the first domino
a push so that it falls down. Also, the dominoes must be arranged so that if the
kth domino falls down, the next domino will also fall down. These two conditions
will ensure that the entire line of dominoes will fall down.

There are many mathematical results that can be proven using mathematical
induction. In this lesson, we will focus on three main categories: summation
identities, divisibility statements, and inequalities.
Let us now take a look at some examples on the use of mathematical induction
in proving summation identities.
Example 2.3.1. Using mathematical induction, prove that
1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n =
n(n + 1)
2
for all positive integers n.
Solution. We need to establish the two conditions stated in the Principle of Math-
ematical Induction.
Part 1.
Prove that the identity is true for n = 1.
The left-hand side of the equation consists of one term equal to 1. The right-
hand side becomes
1(1 + 1)
2
=
2
2
= 1.
Hence, the formula is true for n = 1.

Part 2. Assume that the formula is true for n = k ≥ 1:
1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k =
k(k + 1)
2
.
We want to show that the formula is true for n = k + 1; that is,
1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k + (k + 1) =
(k + 1)(k + 1 + 1)
2
.
Using the formula for n = k and adding k + 1 to both sides of the equation,
we get
1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k + (k + 1) =
k(k + 1)
2
+ (k + 1)
=
k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1)
2
=
(k + 1)(k + 2)
2
=
(k + 1) [(k + 1) + 1]
2
We have proven the two conditions required by the Principle of Mathematical
Induction. Therefore, the formula is true for all positive integers n. 2
Example 2.3.2. Use mathematical induction to prove the formula for the sum
of a geometric series with n terms:
Sn =
a1 (1 − rn
)
1 − r
, r = 1.
Solution. Let an be the nth term of a geometric series. From Lesson 2.1, we know
that an = a1rn−1
.
Part 1.
Prove that the formula is true for n = 1.
a1(1 − r1
)
1 − r
= a1 = S1
The formula is true for n = 1.
Part 2. Assume that the formula is true for n = k ≥ 1: Sk =
a1(1 − rk
)
1 − r
. We
want to prove that it is also true for n = k + 1; that is,
Sk+1 =
a1(1 − rk+1
)
1 − r
.

We know that

=

=
a1 1 − rk+1
1 − r
By the Principle of Mathematical Induction, we have proven that
Sn =
a1(1 − rn
)
1 − r
for all positive integers n. 2
Example 2.3.3. Using mathematical induction, prove that
12
+ 22
+ 32
+ · · · + n2
=
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
6
for all positive integers n.

ematical Induction.
Part 1
1(1 + 1)(2 · 1 + 1)
6
=
1 · 2 · 3
6

The formula is true for n = 1.
Part 2
Assume: 12

=
k(k + 1)(2k + 1)
6

Prove: 12

(k + 1)(k + 2) [2(k + 1) + 1]

+ 22
+ 32
+ · · · + n2
=
n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
6
for all positive integers n. 2
2.3.2. Proving Divisibility Statements
We now prove some divisibility statements using mathematical induction.
Example 2.3.4. Use mathematical induction to prove that, for every positive
integer n, 7n
− 1 is divisible by 6.
Solution. Similar to what we did in the previous session, we establish the two
conditions stated in the Principle of Mathematical Induction.
Part 1
71
− 1 = 6 = 6 · 1
71
− 1 is divisible by 6.
Part 2
Assume: 7k
− 1 is divisible by 6.
To show: 7k+1
− 1 is divisible by 6.
7k+1
− 1 = 7 · 7k
− 1 = 6 · 7k
+ 7k
− 1 = 6 · 7k
+ (7k
− 1)
By definition of divisibility, 6 · 7k
is divisible by 6. Also, by the hypothesis
(assumption), 7k
− 1 is divisible by 6. Hence, their sum (which is equal to
7k+1
− 1) is also divisible by 6.

Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, 7n
− 1 is divisible by 6 for all
positive integers n. 2
Note that 70
− 1 = 1 − 1 = 0 = 6 · 0 is also divisible by 6. Hence, a stronger
and more precise result in the preceding example is: 7n
− 1 is divisible by 6 for
every nonnegative integer n. It does not make sense to substitute negative values
of n since this will result in non-integer values for 7n
− 1.
Example 2.3.5. Use mathematical induction to prove that, for every nonnega-
tive integer n, n3
− n + 3 is divisible by 3.
Solution. We again establish the two conditions in the Principle of Mathematical
Induction.
Part 1 Note that claim of the statement is that it is true for every nonnegative
integer n. This means that Part 1 should prove that the statement is true for
n = 0.
03
− 0 + 3 = 3 = 3(1)
03
− 0 + 3 is divisible by 3.
Part 2. We assume that k3
− k + 3 is divisible by 3. By definition of divisibility,
we can write k3
− k + 3 = 3a for some integer a.
To show: (k + 1)3
− (k + 1) + 3 is divisible by 3.
(k + 1)3
− (k + 1) + 3 = k3
+ 3k2
+ 2k + 3
= (k3
− k + 3) + 3k2
+ 3k
= 3a + 3k2
+ 3k
= 3(a + k2
+ k)
Since a+k2
+k is also an integer, by definition of divisibility, (k+1)3
−(k+1)+3
is divisible by 3.
Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, n3
− n + 3 is divisible by 3 for
all positive integers n. 2
2.3.3. Proving Inequalities
Finally, we now apply the Principle of Mathematical Induction in proving some
inequalities involving integers.
Example 2.3.6. Use mathematical induction to prove that 2n
> 2n for every
integer n ≥ 3.

Solution. Just like the previous example, we establish the two conditions in the
Principle of Mathematical Induction.
Part 1
23
= 8 > 6 = 2(3)
This confirms that 23
> 2(3).
Part 2
Assume: 2k
> 2k, where k is an integer with k ≥ 3
To show: 2k+1
> 2(k + 1) = 2k + 2
We compare the components of the assumption and the inequality we need to
prove. On the left-hand side, the expression is doubled. On the right-hand side,
the expression is increased by 2. We choose which operation we want to apply to
both sides of the assumed inequality.
Alternative 1. We double both sides.
Since 2k
> 2k, by the multiplication property of inequality, we have 2 · 2k
>
2 · 2k.
2k+1
> 2(2k) = 2k + 2k > 2k + 2 if k ≥ 3.
Hence, 2k+1
> 2(k + 1).
Alternative 2. We increase both sides by 2.
Since 2k
> 2k, by the addition property of inequality, we have 2k
+2 > 2k+2.
2(k + 1) = 2k + 2 < 2k
+ 2 < 2k
+ 2k
if k ≥ 3.
The right-most expression above, 2k
+ 2k
, is equal to 2 2k
= 2k+1
.
Hence, 2(k + 1) < 2k+1
.
Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, 2n
> 2n for every integer
n ≥ 3. 2
We test the above inequality for integers less than 3.
20
= 1 > 0 = 2(0) True
21
= 2 = 2(1) False
22
= 4 = 2(2) False
The inequality is not always true for nonnegative integers less than 3. This
illustrates the necessity of Part 1 of the proof to establish the result. However,
the result above can be modified to: 2n
≥ 2n for all nonnegative integers n.
Before we discuss the next example, we review the factorial notation. Recall

that 0! = 1 and, for every positive integer n, n! = 1 · 2 · 3 · · · n. The factorial also
satisfies the property that (n + 1)! = (n + 1) · n!.
Example 2.3.7. Use mathematical induction to prove that 3n
< (n + 2)! for
every positive integer n. Can you refine or improve the result?
Solution. We proceed with the usual two-part proof.
Part 1
31
= 3 < 6 = 3! = (1 + 2)! =⇒ 31
< (1 + 2)!
Thus, the desired inequality is true for n = 1.
Part 2
Assume: 3k
< (k + 2)!
To show: 3k+1
< (k + 3)!
Given that 3k
< (k + 2)!, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 and
obtain
3 3k
< 3 [(k + 2)!] .
This implies that
3 3k
< 3 [(k + 2)!] < (k + 3) [(k + 2)!] , since k > 0,
and so
3k+1
< (k + 3)!.
Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, we conclude that 3n
< (n+2)!
for every positive integer n.
The left-hand side of the inequality is defined for any integer n. The right-
hand side makes sense only if n + 2 ≥ 0, or n ≥ −2.
When n = −2: 3−2
=
1
9
< 1 = 0! = (−2 + 2)!
When n = −1: 3−1
=
1
3
< 1 = 1! = (−1 + 2)!
When n = 0: 30
= 1 < 2 = 2! = (0 + 2)!
Therefore, 3n
< (n + 2)! for any integer n ≥ −2. 2

Given that 2k+3

This implies that
2k+4

Lesson Outline
(1) Expand (x + y)n
for small values of n using Pascal’s Triangle
(2) Review the definition of and formula for combination
(3) State and prove the Binomial Theorem
(4) Compute all or specified terms of a binomial expansion
(5) Prove some combination identities using the Binomial Theorem
Introduction
In this lesson, we study two ways to expand (a + b)n
, where n is a positive
integer. The first, which uses Pascal’s Triangle, is applicable if n is not too big,
and if we want to determine all the terms in the expansion. The second method
gives a general formula for the expansion of (a + b)n
for any positive integer n.
This formula is useful especially when n is large because it avoids the process of
going through all the coefficients for lower values of n obtained through Pascal’s
Triangle.
2.4.1. Pascal’s Triangle and the Concept of Combination
Consider the following powers of a + b:
(a + b)1
= a + b
(a + b)2
= a2
+ 2ab + b2
(a + b)3
= a3
+ 3a2
b + 3ab2
+ b3
(a + b)4
= a4
+ 4a3
b + 6a2
b2
+ 4ab3
+ b4
(a + b)5
= a5
+ 5a4
b + 10a3
b2
+ 10a2
b3
+ 5ab4
+ b5
We now list down the coefficients of each expansion in a triangular array as
follows:
n = 1 : 1 1
n = 2 : 1 2 1
n = 3 : 1 3 3 1
n = 4 : 1 4 6 4 1
n = 5 : 1 5 10 10 5 1

The preceding triangular array of numbers is part of what is called the Pas-
cal’s Triangle, named after the French mathematician, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).
Some properties of the Triangle are the following:
(1) Each row begins and ends with 1.
(2) Each row has n + 1 numbers.
(3) The second and second to the last number of each row correspond to the
row number.
(4) There is symmetry of the numbers in each row.
(5) The number of entries in a row is one more than the row number (or one
more than the number of entries in the preceding row).
(6) Every middle number after first row is the sum of the two numbers above
it.
It is the last statement which is useful in constructing the succeeding rows of the
triangle.
Example 2.4.1. Use Pascal’s Triangle to expand the expression (2x − 3y)5
.
Solution. We use the coefficients in the fifth row of the Pascal’s Triangle.
(2x − 3y)5
= (2x)5
+ 5(2x)4
(−3y) + 10(2x)3
(−3y)2
+ 10(2x)2
(−3y)3
+ 5(2x)(−3y)4
+ (−3y)5
= 32x5
− 240x4
y + 720x3

Example 2.4.2. Use Pascal’s Triangle to expand (a + b)8
.
Solution. We start with the sixth row (or any row of the Pascal’s Triangle that
we remember).
n = 6 : 1 6 15 20 15 6 1
n = 7 : 1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1
n = 8 : 1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1
Therefore, we get
(a + b)8
= a8
+ 8a7
b + 28a6
b2
+ 56a5
b3
+ 70a4

+ 56a3

We observe that, for each n, the expansion of (a + b)n
starts with an
and the exponent of a in the succeeding terms decreases by 1, while
the exponent of b increases by 1. This observation will be shown to
be true in general.
Let us review the concept of combination. Recall that C(n, k) or n
k
counts
the number of ways of choosing k objects from a set of n objects. It is also useful
to know some properties of C(n, k):
(1) C(n, 0) = C(n, n) = 1,
(2) C(n, 1) = C(n, n − 1) = n, and
(3) C(n, k) = C(n, n − k).
These properties can explain some of the observations we made on the num-
bers in the Pascal’s Triangle. Also recall the general formula for the number of
combinations of n objects taken k at a time:
C(n, k) =
n
k
=
n!
k!(n − k)!
,
where 0! = 1 and, for every positive integer n, n! = 1 · 2 · 3 · · · n.
Example 2.4.3. Compute

8

You may observe that the value of 5
3
and the fourth coefficient in the fifth
row of Pascal’s Triangle are the same. In the same manner, 8
5
is equal to the
sixth coefficient in the expansion of (a + b)8
(see Example 2.4.2). These observed
equalities are not coincidental, and they are, in fact, the essence embodied in the
Binomial Theorem, as you will see in the succeeding sessions.
2.4.2. The Binomial Theorem
As the power n gets larger, the more laborious it would be to use Pascal’s Triangle
(and impractical to use long multiplication) to expand (a + b)n
. For example,
using Pascal’s Triangle, we need to compute row by row up to the thirtieth row

to know the coefficients of (a + b)30
. It is, therefore, delightful to know that it is
possible to compute the terms of a binomial expansion of degree n without going
through the expansion of all the powers less than n.
We now explain how the concept of combination is used in the expansion of
(a + b)n
.
(a + b)n
= (a + b)(a + b)(a + b) · · · (a + b)
n factors
When the distributive law is applied, the expansion of (a + b)n
consists of
terms of the form am
bi
, where 0 ≤ m, i ≤ n. This term is obtained by choosing
a for m of the factors and b for the rest of the factors. Hence, m + i = n, or
m = n − i. This means that the number of times the term an−i
bi
will appear
in the expansion of (a + b)n
equals the number of ways of choosing (n − i) or i
factors from the n factors, which is exactly C(n, i). Therefore, we have
(a + b)n
=
n
i=0
n
i
an−i
bi
.
To explain the reasoning above, consider the case n = 3.
(a + b)3
= (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
= aaa + aab + aba + abb + baa + bab + bba + bbb
= a3
+ 3a2
b + 3ab2
+ b3
That is, each term in the expansion is obtained by choosing either a or b in each
factor. The term a3
is obtained when a is chosen each time, while a2
b is obtained
when a is selected 2 times, or equivalently, b is selected exactly once.
We will give another proof of this result using mathematical induction. But
first, we need to prove a result about combinations.
Pascal’s Identity
If n and k are positive integers with k ≤ n, then
n + 1

Proof. The result follows from the combination formula.

Pascal’s identity explains the method of constructing Pascal’s Triangle, in
which an entry is obtained by adding the two numbers above it. This identity
is also an essential part of the second proof of the Binomial Theorem, which we
now state.
The Binomial Theorem
For any positive integer n,
(a + b)n

Since the expansion of (a + b)n
begins with k = 0 and ends with k = n, the
expansion has n + 1 terms. The first term in the expansion is n
0
an
= an
, the
second term is n
1
an−1
b = nan=1
b, the second to the last term is n
n−1
abn−1
=
nabn−1
, and the last term is n
n
bn
= bn
.
The kth term of the expansion is n
k−1
an−k+1
bk−1
. If n is even, there is a
middle term, which is the n
2
+ 1 th term. If n is odd, there are two middle
terms, the n+1
2
th and n+1
2
+ 1 th terms.
The general term is often represented by n
k
an−k
bk
. Notice that, in any term,
the sum of the exponents of a and b is n. The combination n
k
is the coefficient
of the term involving bk
. This allows us to compute any particular term without
needing to expand (a + b)n
and without listing all the other terms.

Lesson 3.1. Angles in a Unit Circle
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) illustrate the unit circle and the relationship between the linear and angular
measures of arcs in a unit circle.
(2) convert degree measure to radian measure, and vice versa.
(3) illustrate angles in standard position and coterminal angles.
Lesson Outline
(1) Linear and angular measure of arcs
(2) Conversion of degree to radian, and vice versa
(3) Arc length and area of the sector
(4) Angle in standard position and coterminal angles
Introduction
Angles are being used in several fields like engineering, medical imaging, elec-
tronics, astronomy, geography and many more. Added to that, surveyors, pilots,
landscapers, designers, soldiers, and people in many other professions heavily use
angles and trigonometry to accomplish a variety of practical tasks. In this les-
son, we will deal with the basics of angle measures together with arc length and
sectors.
3.1.1. Angle Measure
An angle is formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint. In the figure shown
below, the initial side of ∠AOB is OA, while its terminal side is OB. An angle
is said to be positive if the ray rotates in a counterclockwise direction, and the
angle is negative if it rotates in a clockwise direction.

An angle is in standard position if it is drawn in the xy-plane with its vertex
at the origin and its initial side on the positive x-axis. The angles α, β, and θ in
the following figure are angles in standard position.
To measure angles, we use degrees, minutes, seconds, and radians.
A central angle of a circle measures one degree, written 1◦
, if it inter-
cepts 1
360
of the circumference of the circle. One minute, written 1 , is
1
60
of 1◦
, while one second, written 1 , is 1
60
of 1 .
For example, in degrees, minutes, and seconds,

A central angle of the unit circle that intercepts an arc of the circle
with length 1 unit is said to have a measure of one radian, written 1
rad. See Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1
In trigonometry, as it was studied in Grade 9, the degree measure is often used.
On the other hand, in some fields of mathematics like calculus, radian measure of
angles is preferred. Radian measure allows us to treat the trigonometric functions
as functions with the set of real numbers as domains, rather than angles.

standard position with given measure.

Since a unit circle has circumference 2π, a central angle that measures 360◦
has measure equivalent to 2π radians. Thus, we obtain the following conversion
rules.
Converting degree to radian, and vice versa
1. To convert a degree measure to radian, multiply it by π
180
.
2. To convert a radian measure to degree, multiply it by 180
π
.
Figure 3.2 shows some special angles in standard position with the indicated
terminal sides. The degree and radian measures are also given.

3.1.2. Coterminal Angles
Two angles in standard position that have a common terminal side are called
coterminal angles. Observe that the degree measures of coterminal angles differ
by multiples of 360◦
.
Two angles are coterminal if and only if their degree measures differ
by 360k, where k ∈ Z.
Similarly, two angles are coterminal if and only if their radian mea-
sures differ by 2πk, where k ∈ Z.
As a quick illustration, to find one coterminal angle with an angle that mea-
sures 410◦
, just subtract 360◦
, resulting in 50◦
. See Figure 3.3.

3.1.3. Arc Length and Area of a Sector
In a circle, a central angle whose radian measure is θ subtends an arc that is the
fraction θ
2π
of the circumference of the circle. Thus, in a circle of radius r (see
Figure 3.4), the length s of an arc that subtends the angle θ is
s =
θ
2π
× circumference of circle =
θ
2π
(2πr) = rθ.
Figure 3.4
In a circle of radius r, the length s of an arc intercepted by a central
angle with measure θ radians is given by
s = rθ.
Example 3.1.5. Find the length of an arc of a circle with radius 10 m that
subtends a central angle of 30◦
.
Solution. Since the given central angle is in degrees, we have to convert it into
radian measure. Then apply the formula for an arc length.

A sector of a circle is the portion of the interior of a circle bounded by the
initial and terminal sides of a central angle and its intercepted arc. It is like a
“slice of pizza.” Note that an angle with measure 2π radians will define a sector
that corresponds to the whole “pizza.” Therefore, if a central angle of a sector
has measure θ radians, then the sector makes up the fraction θ
2π
of a complete
circle. See Figure 3.5. Since the area of a complete circle with radius r is πr2
, we
have
Area of a sector =
θ
2π
(πr2
) =

Example 3.1.7. Find the area of a sector of a circle with central angle 60◦

the radius of the circle is 3 m.

into radians. Then apply the formula for
computing the area of a sector.

Introduction
We define the six trigonometric function in such a way that the domain of
each function is the set of angles in standard position. The angles are measured
either in degrees or radians. In this lesson, we will modify these trigonometric
functions so that the domain will be real numbers rather than set of angles.

3.2.1. Circular Functions on Real Numbers
Recall that the sine and cosine functions (and four others: tangent, cosecant,
secant, and cotangent) of angles measuring between 0◦
and 90◦
were defined in
the last quarter of Grade 9 as ratios of sides of a right triangle. It can be verified
that these definitions are special cases of the following definition.
Let θ be an angle in standard position and P(θ) = P(x, y) the point
on its terminal side on the unit circle. Define
sin θ = y csc θ =
1
y
, y = 0
cos θ = x sec θ =

, x = 0
tan θ =

, x = 0 cot θ =

Example 3.2.1. Find the values of cos 135◦
, tan 135◦

), and sec(−60◦
).
Solution. Refer to Figure 3.11(a).

From properties of 45◦

and so on.
From the above definitions, we define the same six functions on real numbers.
These functions are called trigonometric functions.
Let s be any real number. Suppose θ is the angle in standard position
with measure s rad. Then we define
sin s = sin θ csc s = csc θ
cos s = cos θ sec s = sec θ
tan s = tan θ cot s = cot θ
From the last example, we then have
cos

In the same way, we have
tan 0 = tan(0 rad) = tan 0◦
= 0.
Example 3.2.2. Find the exact values of sin 3π
2
, cos 3π
2
, and tan 3π
2
.
Solution. Let P 3π
2
be the point on the unit circle and on the terminal side of
the angle in the standard position with measure 3π
2
rad. Then P 3π
2
= (0, −1),
and so
sin
3π
2
= −1, cos
3π

= 0,
but tan 3π

is undefined. 2

Example 3.2.3. Suppose s is a real number such that sin s = −3
4
and cos s > 0.
Find cos s.
Solution. We may consider s as the angle with measure s rad. Let P(s) = (x, y)
be the point on the unit circle and on the terminal side of angle s.
Since P(s) is on the unit circle, we know that x2
+ y2
= 1. Since sin s = y =
−3

, we get
x2
= 1 − y2
= 1 − −

Since cos s = x > 0, we have cos s =

Let P(x1, y1) and Q(x, y) be points on the terminal side of an angle θ in
standard position, where P is on the unit circle and Q on the circle of radius r
(not necessarily 1) with center also at the origin, as shown above. Observe that
we can use similar triangles to obtain
cos θ = x1 =
x1
1
=
x
r
and sin θ = y1 =
y1
1
=

r

We may then further generalize the definitions of the six circular functions.

Let θ be an angle in standard position, Q(x, y) any point on the ter-

We then have a second solution for Example 3.2.3 as follows. With sin s = −3
4
and sin s = y
r
, we may choose y = −3 and r = 4 (which is always positive). In
this case, we can solve for x, which is positive since cos s = x
4
is given to be
positive.
4 = x2 + (−3)2 =⇒ x =

3.2.2. Reference Angle
We observe that if θ1 and θ2 are coterminal angles, the values of the six circular
or trigonometric functions at θ1 agree with the values at θ2. Therefore, in finding
the value of a circular function at a number θ, we can always reduce θ to a number
between 0 and 2π. For example, sin 14π
3
= sin 14π
3
− 4π = sin 2π
3
. Also, observe
from Figure 3.12 that sin 2π
3
= sin π
3
.

In general, if θ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4 are as shown in Figure 3.13 with P(θ1) =
(x1, y1), then each of the x-coordinates of P(θ2), P(θ3), and P(θ4) is ±x1, while
the y-coordinate is ±y1. The correct sign is determined by the location of the
angle. Therefore, together with the correct sign, the value of a particular circular
function at an angle θ can be determined by its value at an angle θ1 with radian
measure between 0 and π
2
. The angle θ1 is called the reference angle of θ.
Figure 3.13
The signs of the coordinates of P(θ) depends on the quadrant or axis where
it terminates. It is important to know the sign of each circular function in each
quadrant. See Figure 3.14. It is not necessary to memorize the table, since the
sign of each function for each quadrant is easily determined from its definition.
We note that the signs of cosecant, secant, and cotangent are the same as sine,
cosine, and tangent, respectively.

Using the fact that the unit circle is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the
y-axis, and the origin, we can identify the coordinates of all the points using the

Introduction
There are many things that occur periodically. Phenomena like rotation of
the planets and comets, high and low tides, and yearly change of the seasons
follow a periodic pattern. In this lesson, we will graph the six circular functions
and we will see that they are periodic in nature.
3.3.1. Graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x
Recall that, for a real number x, sin x = sin θ for an angle θ with measure x
radians, and that sin θ is the second coordinate of the point P(θ) on the unit
circle. Since each x corresponds to an angle θ, we can conclude that
(1) sin x is defined for any real number x or the domain of the sine function is
R, and
(2) the range of sine is the set of all real numbers between −1 and 1 (inclusive).
From the definition, it also follows that sin(x+2π) = sin x for any real number
x. This means that the values of the sine function repeat every 2π units. In this
case, we say that the sine function is a periodic function with period 2π.
Table 3.16 below shows the values of y = sin x, where x is the equivalent radian
measure of the special angles and their multiples from 0 to 2π. As commented

From the table, we can observe that as x increases from 0 to π
2
, sin x also
increases from 0 to 1. Similarly, as x increases from 3π
2
to 2π, sin x also increases
from −1 to 0. On the other hand, notice that as x increases from π

to π, sin x
decreases from 1 to 0. Similarly, as x increases from π to 3π

, sin x decreases from
0 to −1.

To sketch the graph of y = sin x, we plot the points presented in Table 3.16,
and join them with a smooth curve. See Figure 3.17. Since the graph repeats
every 2π units, Figure 3.18 shows periodic graph over a longer interval.
Figure 3.17
Figure 3.18
We can make observations about the cosine function that are similar to the
sine function.
• y = cos x has domain R and range [−1, 1].
• y = cos x is periodic with period 2π. The graph of y = cos x is shown in
Figure 3.19.

From the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x in Figures 3.18 and 3.19, re-
spectively, we observe that sin(−x) = − sin x and cos(−x) = cos x for any real
number x. In other words, the graphs of y = cos(−x) and y = cos x are the same,
while the graph of y = sin(−x) is the same as that of y = − sin x.
In general, if a function f satisfies the property that f(−x) = f(x) for all x
in its domain, we say that such function is even. On the other hand, we say that
a function f is odd if f(−x) = −f(x) for all x in its domain. For example, the
functions x2
and cos x are even, while the functions x3
− 3x and sin x are odd.
3.3.2. Graphs of y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx
Using a table of values from 0 to 2π, we can sketch the graph of y = 3 sin x, and
compare it to the graph of y = sin x. See Figure 3.20 wherein the solid curve
belongs to y = 3 sin x, while the dashed curve to y = sin x. For instance, if x = π
2
,
then y = 1 when y = sin x, and y = 3 when y = 3 sin x. The period, x-intercepts,
and domains are the same for both graphs, while they differ in the range. The
range of y = 3 sin x is [−3, 3].
Figure 3.20
In general, the graphs of y = a sin x and y = a cos x with a > 0 have the same
shape as the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x, respectively. If a < 0, there is a
reflection across the x-axis.
In the graphs of y = a sin x and y = a cos x, the number |a| is called
its amplitude. It dictates the height of the curve. When |a| < 1,
the graphs are shrunk vertically, and when |a| > 1, the graphs are
stretched vertically.
Now, in Table 3.21, we consider the values of y = sin 2x on [0, 2π].

Figure 3.22
Figure 3.22 shows the graphs of y = sin 2x (solid curve) and y = sin x (dashed
curve) over the interval [0, 2π]. Notice that, for sin 2x to generate periodic values
similar to [0, 2π] for y = sin x, we just need values of x from 0 to π. We then
expect the values of sin 2x to repeat every π units thereafter. The period of
y = sin 2x is π.
If b = 0, then both y = sin bx and y = cos bx have period given by
2π
|b|
.
If 0 < |b| < 1, the graphs are stretched horizontally, and if |b| > 1, the
graphs are shrunk horizontally.
To sketch the graphs of y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, a, b = 0, we may proceed
with the following steps:
(1) Determine the amplitude |a|, and find the period 2π
|b|
. To draw one cycle
of the graph (that is, one complete graph for one period), we just need to
complete the graph from 0 to 2π
|b|
.

(2) Divide the interval into four equal parts, and get five division points: x1 = 0,
x2, x3, x4, and x5 = 2π
|b|
, where x3 is the midpoint between x1 and x5 (that
is, 1
2
(x1 + x5) = x3), x2 is the midpoint between x1 and x3, and x4 is the
midpoint between x3 and x5.
(3) Evaluate the function at each of the five x-values identified in Step 2. The
points will correspond to the highest point, lowest point, and x-intercepts
of the graph.
(4) Plot the points found in Step 3, and join them with a smooth curve similar
to the graph of the basic sine curve.
(5) Extend the graph to the right and to the left, as needed.
Example 3.3.1. Sketch the graph of one cycle of y = 2 sin 4x.
Solution. (1) The period is 2π
4
= π
2
, and the amplitude is 2.
(2) Dividing the interval [0, π
2
] into 4 equal parts, we get the following x-
coordinates: 0, π
8
, π
4
, 3π
8
, and π
2
.
(3) When x = 0, π
4
, and π
2
, we get y = 0. On the other hand, when x = π
8
, we
have y = 2 (the amplitude), and y = −2 when x = 3π
8
.
(4) Draw a smooth curve by connecting the points. There is no need to proceed
to Step 5 because the problem only asks for one cycle.
Example 3.3.2. Sketch the graph of y = −3 cos x
2
.
Solution. (1) The amplitude is | − 3| = 3, and the period is
2π
1
2
= 4π.
(2) We divide the interval [0, 4π] into four equal parts, and we get the following
x-values: 0, π, 2π, 3π, and 4π.

(3) We have y = 0 when x = π and 3π, y = −3 when x = 0 and 4π, and y = 3

(5) We extend the pattern in Step 4 to the left and to the right.

3.3.3. Graphs of y = a sin b(x − c) + d and y = a cos b(x − c) + d
We first compare the graphs of y = sin x and y = sin x − π
3
using a table of
values and the 5-step procedure discussed earlier.
As x runs from π
3
to 7π
3
, the value of the expression x− π
3
runs from 0 to 2π. So
for one cycle of the graph of y = sin x − π
3
, we then expect to have the graph of
y = sin x starting from x = π
3
. This is confirmed by the values in Table 3.23. We
then apply a similar procedure to complete one cycle of the graph; that is, divide
the interval [π
3
, 7π
3
] into four equal parts, and then determine the key values of
x in sketching the graphs as discussed earlier. The one-cycle graph of y = sin x
(dashed curve) and the corresponding one-cycle graph of y = sin x − π
3
(solid
curve) are shown in Figure 3.24.

Observe that the graph of y = sin x − π

shifts π

units to the right of
y = sin x. Thus, they have the same period, amplitude, domain, and range.
The graphs of
y = a sin b(x − c) and y = a cos b(x − c)
have the same shape as y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, respectively, but
shifted c units to the right when c > 0 and shifted |c| units to the left
if c < 0. The number c is called the phase shift of the sine or cosine
graph.

Example 3.3.4. In the same Cartesian plane, sketch one cycle of the graphs of
y = 3 sin x and y = 3 sin x + π

Solution. We have sketched the graph of y = 3 sin x earlier at the start of the
lesson. We consider y = 3 sin x + π
4
. We expect that it has the same shape as
that of y = 3 sin x, but shifted some units.
Here, we have a = 3, b = 1, and c = −π
4
. From these constants, we get
the amplitude, the period, and the phase shift, and these are 3, 2π, and −π
4
,
respectively.
One cycle starts at x = −π

and ends at x = −π

While the effect of c in y = a sin b(x − c) and y = a cos b(x − c) is
a horizontal shift of their graphs from the corresponding graphs of
y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, the effect of d in the equations y =
a sin b(x − c) + d and y = a cos b(x − c) + d is a vertical shift. That is,
the graph of y = a sin b(x−c)+d has the same amplitude, period, and
phase shift as that of y = a sin b(x − c), but shifted d units upward
when d > 0 and |d| units downward when d < 0.

Different Equations, The Same Graph
1. The graphs of y = sin x and y = sin(x + 2πk), k any integer, are
the same.
2. The graphs of y = sin x, y = − sin(x + π), y = cos(x − π
2
), and
y = − cos(x + π
2
) are the same.
3. In general, the graphs of
y = a sin b(x − c) + d,
y = −a sin[b(x − c) + π + 2πk] + d,
y = a cos[b(x − c) − π
2
+ 2πk] + d,
and
y = −a cos[b(x − c) + π
2
+ 2πk] + d,
where k is any integer, are all the same.
Similar observations are true for cosine.
3.3.4. Graphs of Cosecant and Secant Functions
We know that csc x = 1
sin x
if sin x = 0. Using this relationship, we can sketch the
graph of y = csc x.
First, we observe that the domain of the cosecant function is
{x ∈ R : sin x = 0} = {x ∈ R : x = kπ, k ∈ Z}.
Table 3.25 shows the key numbers (that is, numbers where y = sin x crosses the
x-axis, attain its maximum and minimum values) and some neighboring points,
where “und” stands for “undefined,” while Figure 3.26 shows one cycle of the
graphs of y = sin x (dashed curve) and y = csc x (solid curve). Notice the
asymptotes of the graph y = csc x.

We could also sketch the graph of csc x directly from the graph of y = sin x
by observing the following facts:
(1) If sin x = 1 (or −1), then csc x = 1 (or −1).
(2) At each x-intercept of y = sin x, y = csc x is undefined; but a vertical
asymptote is formed because, when sin x is close to 0, the value of csc x will
have a big magnitude with the same sign as sin x.
Refer to Figure 3.27 for the graphs of y = sin x (dashed curve) and y = csc x
(solid curve) over a larger interval.

Like the sine and cosecant functions, the cosine and secant functions are also
reciprocals of each other. Therefore, y = sec x has domain
{x ∈ R : cos x = 0} = {x ∈ R : x =
kπ
2
, k odd integer}.
Similarly, the graph of y = sec x can be obtained from the graph of y = cos x.
These graphs are shown in Figure 3.28.

Example 3.3.6. Sketch the graph of y = 2 csc x

Solution. First, we sketch the graph of y = 2 sin x

cussed above to sketch the graph of y = 2 csc x
2

The vertical asymptotes of y = 2 csc x
2
are the x-intercepts of y = 2 sin x
2
:
x = 0, ±2π, ±4π, . . .. After setting up the asymptotes, we now sketch the graph
of y = 2 csc x

as shown below.

graph 2 units upward to obtain the graph of y = 2 − sec 2x.

3.3.5. Graphs of Tangent and Cotangent Functions
We know that tan x = sin x
cos x
, where cos x = 0. From this definition of the tangent
function, it follows that its domain is the same as that of the secant function,
which is
{x ∈ R : cos x = 0} = {x ∈ R : x =
kπ
2
, k odd integer}.
We note that tan x = 0 when sin x = 0 (that is, when x = kπ, k any integer), and
that the graph of y = tan x has asymptotes x = kπ
2
, k odd integer. Furthermore,
by recalling the signs of tangent from Quadrant I to Quadrant IV and its values,
we observe that the tangent function is periodic with period π.
To sketch the graph of y = tan x, it will be enough to know its one-cycle
graph on the open interval −π

In general, to sketch the graphs of y = a tan bx and y = a cot bx, a = 0 and
b > 0, we may proceed with the following steps:
(1) Determine the period π
b
. Then we draw one cycle of the graph on − π
2b
, π
2b
for y = a tan bx, and on 0, π
b
for y = a cot bx.
(2) Determine the two adjacent vertical asymptotes. For y = a tan bx, these
vertical asymptotes are given by x = ± π
2b
. For y = a cot bx, the vertical
asymptotes are given by x = 0 and x = π
b
.
(3) Divide the interval formed by the vertical asymptotes in Step 2 into four
equal parts, and get three division points exclusively between the asymp-
totes.
(4) Evaluate the function at each of these x-values identified in Step 3. The
points will correspond to the signs and x-intercept of the graph.
(5) Plot the points found in Step 3, and join them with a smooth curve ap-
proaching to the vertical asymptotes. Extend the graph to the right and to
the left, as needed.

3.3.6. Simple Harmonic Motion
Repetitive or periodic behavior is common in nature. As an example, the time-
telling device known as sundial is a result of the predictable rising and setting
of the sun everyday. It consists of a flat plate and a gnomon. As the sun moves
across the sky, the gnomon casts a shadow on the plate, which is calibrated to
tell the time of the day.

Some motions are also periodic. When a weight is suspended on a spring,
pulled down, and released, the weight oscillates up and down. Neglecting resis-
tance, this oscillatory motion of the weight will continue on and on, and its height
is periodic with respect to time.

Periodic motions are usually modeled by either sine or cosine function, and are
called simple harmonic motions. Unimpeded movements of objects like oscilla-
tion, vibration, rotation, and motion due to water waves are real-life occurrences
that behave in simple harmonic motion.
Equations of Simple Harmonic Motion
The displacement y (directed height or length) of an object behaving
in a simple harmonic motion with respect to time t is given by one of
the following equations:
y = a sin b(t − c) + d
or
y = a cos b(t − c) + d.
In both equations, we have the following information:
• amplitude = |a| = 1
2
(M − m) - the maximum displacement above
and below the rest position or central position or equilibrium, where
M is the maximum height and m is the minimum height;
• period = 2π
|b|
- the time required to complete one cycle (from one
highest or lowest point to the next);
• frequency = |b|
2π
- the number of cycles per unit of time;
• c - responsible for the horizontal shift in time; and
• d - responsible for the vertical shift in displacement.
Example 3.3.10. A weight is suspended from a spring and is moving up and
down in a simple harmonic motion. At start, the weight is pulled down 5 cm below
the resting position, and then released. After 8 seconds, the weight reaches its

highest location for the first time. Find the equation of the motion.
Solution. We are given that the weight is located at its lowest position at t = 0;
that is, y = −5 when t = 0. Therefore, the equation is y = −5 cos bt.
Because it took the weight 8 seconds from the lowest point to its immediate
highest point, half the period is 8 seconds.

Example 3.3.11. Suppose you ride a Ferris wheel. The lowest point of the
wheel is 3 meters off the ground, and its diameter is 20 m. After it started, the
Ferris wheel revolves at a constant speed, and it takes 32 seconds to bring you
back again to the riding point. After riding for 150 seconds, find your approximate
height above the ground.
Solution. We ignore first the fixed value of 3 m off the ground, and assume that
the central position passes through the center of the wheel and is parallel to the
ground.
Let t be the time (in seconds) elapsed that you have been riding the Ferris
wheel, and y is he directed distance of your location with respect to the assumed
central position at time t. Because y = −10 when t = 0, the appropriate model
is y = −10 cos bt for t ≥ 0.
Given that the Ferris wheel takes 32 seconds to move from the lowest point
to the next, the period is 32.

When t = 150, we get y = 10 cos 150π

≈ 3.83.
Bringing back the original condition given in the problem that the riding point
is 3 m off the ground, after riding for 150 seconds, you are approximately located
3.83 + 13 = 16.83 m off the ground. 2
In the last example, the central position or equilibrium may be vertically
shifted from the ground or sea level (the role of the constant d). In the same way,
the starting point may also be horizontally shifted (the role of the constant c).
Moreover, as observed in Sub-Lesson 3.3.3 (see page 154), to find the function
that describes a particular simple harmonic motion, we can either choose
y = a sin b(t − c) + d
or
y = a cos b(t − c) + d,
and determine the appropriate values of a, b, c, and d. In fact, we can assume
that a and b are positive numbers, and c is the smallest such nonnegative number.

Example 3.3.12. A signal buoy in Laguna Bay bobs up and down with the
height h of its transmitter (in feet) above sea level modeled by h(t) = a sin bt + d
at time t (in seconds). During a small squall, its height varies from 1 ft to 9 ft
above sea level, and it takes 3.5 seconds from one 9-ft height to the next. Find
the values of the constants a, b, and d.
Solution. We solve the constants step by step.
• The minimum and maximum values of h(t) are 1 ft and 9 ft, respectively.
Thus, the amplitude is a = 1
2
(M − m) = 1
2
(9 − 1) = 4.
• Because it takes 3.5 seconds from one 9-ft height to the next, the period is
3.5. Thus, we have 2π
b
= 3.5, which gives b = 4π

.
• Because the lowest point is 1 ft above the sea level and the amplitude is 4,
it follows that d = 5. 2
Example 3.3.13. A variable star is a star whose brightness fluctuates as ob-
served from Earth. The magnitude of visual brightness of one variable star ranges
from 2.0 to 10.1, and it takes 332 days to observe one maximum brightness to
the next. Assuming that the visual brightness of the star can be modeled by the
equation y = a sin b(t − c) + d, t in days, and putting t = 0 at a time when the
star is at its maximum brightness, find the constants a, b, c, and d, where a, b > 0
and c the least nonnegative number possible.

Solution. As described above, we may choose sine or cosine function. Here, we
choose the sine function to describe both x and y in terms of time t in microsec-
onds; that is, we let
x = a sin b(t − c) + d and y = e sin f(t − g) + h,
where we appropriately choose the positive values for a, b, e, and f, and the least
nonnegative values for c and g.
The given circle has radius 6 and center (−7, 5). Defining the central position
of the values of x as the line x = −7 and that of the values of y as the line y = 5,
we get a = e = 6, d = −7, and h = 5.
From the point (−1, 5) to the point (−7, 11) (moving clockwise), the particle
has traveled three-fourths of the complete cycle; that is, three-fourths of the
period must be 2.

As the particle starts at (−1, 5) and moves clockwise, the values of x start
at its highest value (x = −1) and move downward toward its central position
(x = −7) and continue to its lowest value (x = −13). Therefore, the graph of
a sin bt + d has to move 3π
2b
= 6 units to the right, and so we get c = 6.
As to the value of g, we observe the values of y start at its central position
(y = 5) and go downward to its lowest value (y = −1). Similar to the argument
used in determining c, the graph of y = e sin ft + h has to move π
b
= 4 units to
the right, implying that g = 4.
Hence, We have the following equations of x and y in terms of t:
x = 6 sin π
4
(t − 6) − 7 and y = 6 sin π
4
(t − 4) + 5.
When t = 15, we get
x = 6 sin π

(15 − 6) − 7 = −7 + 3
√
2 ≈ −2.76
and
y = 6 sin π
4
(15 − 4) + 5 = 5 + 3
√
2 ≈ 9.24.
That is, after traveling for 15 microseconds, the particle is located near the point
(−2.76, 9.24). 2

Lesson 3.4. Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) determine whether an equation is an identity or a conditional equation;
(2) derive the fundamental trigonometric identities;
(3) simplify trigonometric expressions using fundamental trigonometric identi-
ties; and
(4) prove other trigonometric identities using fundamental trigonometric identi-
ties.
Lesson Outline
(1) Domain of an equation
(2) Identity and conditional equation
(3) Fundamental trigonometric identities
(4) Proving trigonometric identities
Introduction
In previous lessons, we have defined trigonometric functions using the unit
circle and also investigated the graphs of the six trigonometric functions. This
lesson builds on the understanding of the different trigonometric functions by
discovery, deriving, and working with trigonometric identities.
3.4.1. Domain of an Expression or Equation
Consider the following expressions:
2x + 1,
√
x2 − 1,
x
x2 − 3x − 4
,
x
√
x − 1
.
What are the real values of the variable x that make the expressions defined in
the set of real numbers?
In the first expression, every real value of x when substituted to the expression
makes it defined in the set of real numbers; that is, the value of the expression is
real when x is real.
In the second expression, not every real value of x makes the expression defined
in R. For example, when x = 0, the expression becomes
√
−1, which is not a real
number.
√
x2 − 1 ∈ R ⇐⇒ x2
− 1 ≥ 0 ⇐⇒ x ≤ −1 or x ≥ 1

Here, for
√
x2 − 1 to be defined in R, x must be in (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞).
In the third expression, the values of x that make the denominator zero make
the entire expression undefined.
x2
− 3x − 4 = (x − 4)(x + 1) = 0 ⇐⇒ x = 4 or x = −1
Hence, the expression
x
x2 − 3x − 4
is real when x = 4 and x = −1.
In the fourth expression, because the expression
√
x − 1 is in the denominator,
x must be greater than 1. Although the value of the entire expression is 0 when
x = 0, we do not include 0 as allowed value of x because part of the expression
is not real when x = 0.
In the expressions above, the allowed values of the variable x constitute the
domain of the expression.
The domain of an expression (or equation) is the set of all real values of
the variable for which every term (or part) of the expression (equation)
is defined in R.
In the expressions above, the domains of the first, second, third, and fourth
expressions are R, (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞), R  {−1, 4}, and (1, ∞), respectively.

√
x + 1 ∈ R ⇐⇒ x + 1 ≥ 0 ⇐⇒ x ≥ −1
1 − x = 0 ⇐⇒ x = 1
Domain = [−1, ∞)  {−4, 0, 1, 2}
= [−1, 0) ∪ (0, 1) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

is always positive, and so

the other hand, the expression 3
√
x2 − 1 is also defined in R, but it cannot
be zero because it is in the denominator. Therefore, x should not be −1
and 1.

3.4.2. Identity and Conditional Equation
Consider the following two groups of equations:
Group A Group B
(A1) x2
− 1 = 0 (B1) x2
− 1 = (x − 1)(x + 1)
(A2) (x + 7)2
= x2
+ 49 (B2) (x + 7)2
= x2
+ 14x + 49
(A3)
x2
− 4
x − 2
= 2x − 1 (B3)
x2
− 4
x − 2
= x + 2
In each equation in Group A, some values of the variable that are in the
domain of the equation do not satisfy the equation (that is, do not make the
equation true). On the other hand, in each equation in Group B, every element
in the domain of the equation satisfies the given equation. The equations in
Group A are called conditional equations, while those in Group B are called
identities.
An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variable
in the domain of the equation. An equation that is not an identity is
called a conditional equation. (In other words, if some values of the
variable in the domain of the equation do not satisfy the equation,
then the equation is a conditional equation.)
Example 3.4.2. Identify whether the given equation is an identity or a condi-
tional equation. For each conditional equation, provide a value of the variable in
the domain that does not satisfy the equation.

Solution. (1) This is an identity because this is simply factoring of difference of

(2) This is a conditional equation. If θ = 0, then the left-hand side of the equation
is 0, while the right-hand side is 2.
(3) This is also a conditional equation. If θ = 0, then both sides of the equation
are equal to 0. But if θ = π, then the left-hand side of the equation is 0,
while the right-hand side is −2.
(4) This is an identity because the right-hand side of the equation is obtained by
rationalizing the denominator of the left-hand side. 2
3.4.3. The Fundamental Trigonometric Identities
Recall that if P(x, y) is the terminal point on the unit circle corresponding to θ,
then we have
sin θ = y csc θ =
1
y
tan θ =
y
x
cos θ = x sec θ =
1
x
cot θ =
x
y
.
From the definitions, the following reciprocal and quotient identities immedi-
ately follow. Note that these identities hold if θ is taken either as a real number
or as an angle.

= 1. Since sin θ = y and cos θ = x, we get
sin2

θ = 1.
By dividing both sides of this identity by cos2
θ and sin2
θ, respectively, we obtain

The first two of the negative identities can be obtained from the graphs of
the sine and cosine functions, respectively. (Please review the discussion on page
147.) The third identity can be derived as follows:

what we call the fundamental trigonometric identities.

To verify that it is an identity, recall that we need to establish the truth of the
equation for all values of the variable in the domain of the equation. It is not
enough to verify its truth for some selected values of the variable. To prove it, we
use the fundamental trigonometric identities and valid algebraic manipulations
like performing the fundamental operations, factoring, canceling, and multiplying
the numerator and denominator by the same quantity.
Start on the expression on one side of the proposed identity (preferably the
complicated side), use and apply some of the fundamental trigonometric identities
and algebraic manipulations, and arrive at the expression on the other side of the
proposed identity.

Lesson 3.5. Sum and Difference Identities
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) derive trigonometric identities involving sum and difference of two angles;
(2) simplify trigonometric expressions using fundamental trigonometric identities
and sum and difference identities;
(3) prove other trigonometric identities using fundamental trigonometric identi-
ties and sum and difference identities; and
(4) solve situational problems involving trigonometric identities.
Lesson Outline
(1) The sum and difference identities for cosine, sine, and tangent functions
(2) Cofunction identities
(3) More trigonometric identities
Introduction
In previous lesson, we introduced the concept of trigonometric identity, pre-
sented the fundamental identities, and proved some identities. In this lesson, we
derive the sum and difference identities for cosine, sine, and tangent functions,
establish the cofunction identities, and prove more trigonometric identities.
3.5.1. The Cosine Difference and Sum Identities
Let u and v be any real numbers with 0 < v ≤ u < 2π. Consider the unit circle
with points A = (1, 0), P1, P2, P3, and u and v with corresponding angles as
shown below. Then P1P2 = AP3.

Recall that P1 = P(u) = (cos u, sin u), P2 = P(v) = (cos v, sin v), and P3 =
P(u − v) = (cos(u − v), sin(u − v)), so that
P1P2 = (cos u − cos v)2 + (sin u − sin v)2,
while
AP3 = [cos(u − v) − 1]2 + [sin(u − v) − 0]2.
Equating these two expressions and expanding the squares, we get
(cos u − cos v)2
+ (sin u − sin v)2
= [cos(u − v) − 1]2
+ sin2
(u − v)
cos2
u − 2 cos u cos v + cos2
v + sin2
u − 2 sin u sin v + sin2
v
= cos2
(u − v) − 2 cos(u − v) + 1 + sin2
(u − v)
Applying the Pythagorean identity cos2
θ+sin2
θ = 1 and simplifying the resulting
equations, we obtain
(cos2
u + sin2
u) + (cos2
v + sin2
v) − 2 cos u cos v − 2 sin u sin v
= [cos2
(u − v) + sin2
(u − v)] − 2 cos(u − v) + 1
1 + 1 − 2 cos u cos v − 2 sin u sin v = 1 − 2 cos(u − v) + 1
cos(u − v) = cos u cos v + sin u sin v.
We have thus proved another identity.
Although we assumed at the start that 0 < v ≤ u < 2π, but because
cos(−θ) = cos θ (one of the even-odd identities), this new identity is true for
any real numbers u and v. As before, the variables can take any real values or
angle measures.
Cosine Difference Identity
cos(A − B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B
Replacing B with −B, and applying the even-odd identities, we immediately
get another identity.
Cosine Sum Identity
cos(A + B) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B

3.5.3. The Tangent Sum and Difference Identities
Recall that tan x is the ratio of sin x over cos x. When we replace x with A + B,
we obtain
tan(A + B) =
sin(A + B)
cos(A + B)
.
Using the sum identities for sine and cosine, and then dividing the numerator
and denominator by cos A cos B, we have
tan(A + B) =
sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos A cos B − sin A sin B
=
sin A cos B
cos A cos B
+ cos A sin B
cos A cos B
cos A cos B
cos A cos B
− sin A sin B
cos A cos B
=
tan A + tan B
1 − tan A tan B
.
We have just established the tangent sum identity.
In the above identity, if we replace B with −B and use the even-odd identity
tan(−θ) = − tan θ, we get
tan(A − B) = tan[A + (−B)] =
tan A + tan(−B)
1 − tan A tan(−B)
=
tan A − tan B
1 + tan A tan B
.
This is the tangent difference identity.

Lesson 3.6. Double-Angle and Half-Angle Identities
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) derive the double-angle and half-angle identities;
(2) simplify trigonometric expressions using known identities;
(3) prove other trigonometric identities using known identities; and
(4) solve situational problems involving trigonometric identities.
Lesson Outline
(1) The double-angle and half-angle identities for cosine, sine, and tangent
(2) More trigonometric identities
Introduction
Trigonometric identities simplify the computations of trigonometric expres-
sions. In this lesson, we continue on establishing more trigonometric identities.
In particular, we derive the formulas for f(2θ) and f 1
2
θ , where f is the sine,
cosine, or tangent function.
3.6.1. Double-Angle Identities
Recall the sum identities for sine and cosine.
sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
cos(A + B) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B
When A = B, these identities becomes
sin 2A = sin A cos A + cos A sin A = 2 sin A cos A
and
cos 2A = cos A cos A − sin A sin A = cos2
A − sin2
A.
Double-Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine
sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A cos 2A = cos2
A − sin2
A
The double-identity for cosine has other forms. We use the Pythagorean
identity sin2
θ + cos2
θ = 1.
cos 2A = cos2
A − sin2

Example 3.6.1. Given sin t = 3
5
and π
2

the convenience, what is given, and what is asked.

Solution. We use the sum identity for sine, the double-angle identities for sine
and cosine, and the Pythagorean identity.
sin 3x = sin(2x + x)
= sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x
= (2 sin x cos x) cos x + (1 − 2 sin2
x) sin x
= 2 sin x cos2
x + sin x − 2 sin3
x
= 2(sin x)(1 − sin2
x) + sin x − 2 sin3

= 3 sin x − 4 sin3

For the double-angle formula for tangent, we recall the tangent sum identity:
tan(A + B) =
tan A + tan B
1 − tan A tan B
.
When A = B, we obtain
tan(A + A) =
tan A + tan A
1 − tan A tan A
=
2 tan A
1 − tan2

Example 3.6.3. If tan θ = −1

and sec θ > 0, find sin 2θ, cos 2θ, and tan 2θ.

From the given information, we deduce that θ lies in QIV. Using one Pythagorean
identity, we compute cos θ through sec θ. (We may also use the technique dis-
cussed in Lesson 3.2 by solving for x, y, and r.) Then we proceed to find cos 2θ.

3.6.2. Half-Angle Identities
Recall two of the three double-angle identities for cosine:
cos 2A = 2 cos2
A − 1 and cos 2A = 1 − 2 sin2
A.
From these identities, we obtain two useful identities expressing sin2
A and cos2
A
in terms of cos 2A as follows:
cos2
A =
1 + cos 2A
2
and sin2
A =
1 − cos 2A
2
.
Some Useful Identities
cos2
A =
1 + cos 2A
2
sin2
A =
1 − cos 2A
2
From these identities, replacing A with A
2
, we get
cos2 A
2
=
1 + cos 2 A
2
2
=
1 + cos A
2
and
sin2 A
2
=
1 − cos 2 A
2
2
=
1 − cos A
2
.
These are the half-angle identities for sine and cosine.
Half-Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine
cos2 A
2
=
1 + cos A
2
sin2 A
2
=
1 − cos A
2
Because of the “square” in the formulas, we get
cos
A
2
= ±
1 + cos A
2
and sin
A
2
= ±
1 − cos A
2
.
The appropriate signs of cos A
2
and sin A
2
depend on which quadrant A
2
lies.
Example 3.6.4. Find the exact values of sin 22.5◦
and cos 22.5◦
.
Solution. Clearly, 22.5◦
lies in QI (and so sin 22.5◦
and cos 22.5◦
are both posi-
tive), and 22.5◦
is the half-angle of 45◦

Solution: In this problem, we use the Pythagorean identity sin2
θ +cos2
θ = 1.
Because cos θ = − 5
13
, we must have
sin2
θ = 1 − cos2
θ = 1 −
25

.
Moreover, since 0 < θ < π, we take the square root of both sides of the above
equation to get
sin θ =

Now, using the double-angle identities we get
sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ and cos 2θ = cos2

2. Derive an identity for cos 3x in terms of cos x.
Solution: We use the sum identity for cosine, the double-angle identities for
sine and cosine, and the Pythagorean identity.
cos 3x = cos(2x + x)
= cos 2x cos x − sin 2x sin x
= (2 cos2
x − 1) cos x − (2 sin x cos x) sin x
= 2 cos3
x − cos x − 2 sin2

x − cos x − 2(1 − cos2

3. Derive the identity for tan 3t in terms of tan t.
Solution: Using the sum identity for tangent, we obtain
tan 3t = tan(2t + t) =
tan 2t + tan t
1 − tan 2t tan t
.
Now, using the tangent double-angle identity, we have
tan 3t =
2 tan t
1−tan2 t
+ tan t
1 − 2 tan t
1−tan2 t
tan t
.
Upon simplifying the terms on the right side of the equation, we finally obtain
tan 3t =
3 tan t − tan3

1 − 3 tan2

Lesson 3.7. Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) graph the six basic inverse trigonometric functions;
(2) illustrate the domain and range of the inverse trigonometric functions;
(3) evaluate inverse trigonometric expressions; and
(4) solve situational problems involving inverse trigonometric functions.
Lesson Outline
(1) Definitions of the six inverse trigonometric functions
(2) Graphs of inverse trigonometric functions
(3) Domain and range of inverse trigonometric functions
(4) Evaluation of inverse trigonometric expressions
Introduction
In the previous lessons on functions (algebraic and trigonometric), we com-
puted for the value of a function at a number in its domain. Now, given a value
in the range of the function, we reverse this process by finding a number in the
domain whose function value is the given one. Observe that, in this process,
the function involved may or may not give a unique number in the domain. For
example, each of the functions f(x) = x2
and g(x) = cos x do not give a unique
number in their respective domains for some values of each function. Given
f(x) = 1, the function gives x = ±1. If g(x) = 1, then x = 2kπ, where k is an
integer. Because of this possibility, in order for the reverse process to produce a
function, we restrict this process to one-to-one functions or at least restrict the
domain of a non-one-to-one function to make it one-to-one so that the process

works. Loosely speaking, a function that reverses what a given function f does
is called its inverse function, and is usually denoted by f−1
.
More formally, two functions f and g are inverse functions if
g(f(x)) = x for any x in the domain of f,
and
f(g(x)) = x for any x in the domain of g.
We denote the inverse function of a function f by f−1
. The graphs of a function
and its inverse function are symmetric with respect to the line y = x.
In this lesson, we first restrict the domain of each trigonometric function
because each of them is not one-to-one. We then define each respective inverse
function and evaluate the values of each inverse trigonometric function.
3.7.1. Inverse Sine Function
All the trigonometric functions that we consider are periodic over their entire
domains. This means that all trigonometric functions are not one-to-one if we
consider their whole domains, which implies that they have no inverses over those
sets. But there is a way to make each of the trigonometric functions one-to-one.
This is done by restricting their respective domains. The restrictions will give us
well-defined inverse trigonometric functions.
The domain of the sine function is the set R of real numbers, and its range is
the closed interval [−1, 1]. As observed in the previous lessons, the sine function
is not one-to-one, and the first step is to restrict its domain (by agreeing what the
convention is) with the following conditions: (1) the sine function is one-to-one
in that restricted domain, and (2) the range remains the same.
The inverse of the (restricted) sine function f(x) = sin x, where the
domain is restricted to the closed interval −π
2
, π
2
, is called the inverse
sine function or arcsine function, denoted by f−1
(x) = sin−1
x or
f−1
(x) = arcsin x. Here, the domain of f−1
(x) = arcsin x is [−1, 1],
and its range is −π
2
, π
2
. Thus,
y = sin−1
x or y = arcsin x
if and only if
sin y = x,
where −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and −π
2
≤ y ≤ π
2
.
Throughout the lesson, we interchangeably use sin−1
x and arcsin x to mean
the inverse sine function.

(1) sin−1 1
2
(2) arcsin(−1)
(3) arcsin 0
(4) sin−1
−1
2
Solution. (1) Let θ = sin−1 1
2
. This is equivalent to sin θ = 1
2
. This means that
we are looking for the number θ in the closed interval −π
2
, π
2
whose sine is
1
2
. We get θ = π
6
. Thus, we have sin−1 1
2
= π

.
(2) arcsin(−1) = −π

As emphasized in the last example, as long as −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, sin−1
x is that
number y ∈ −π
2
, π
2
such that sin y = x. If |x| > 1, then sin−1
x is not defined in
R.
We can sometimes find the exact value of sin−1
x (that is, we can find a value
in terms of π), but if no such special value exists, then we leave it in the form
sin−1
x. For example, as shown above, sin−1 1
2
is equal to π
6
. However, as studied
in Lesson 3.2, no special number θ satisfies sin θ = 2
3
, so we leave sin−1 2
3
as is.
Example 3.7.2. Find the exact value of each expression.
(1) sin sin−1 1

(3) arcsin(sin π) = arcsin 0 = 0
(4) sin sin−1

6

2
2
From the last example, we have the following observations:
1. sin(arcsin x) = x for any x ∈ [−1, 1]; and
2. arcsin(sin θ) = θ if and only if θ ∈ −π
2
, π
2
, and if θ ∈ −π
2
, π
2
, then
arcsin(sin θ) = ϕ, where ϕ ∈ −π
2
, π
2
such that sin ϕ = sin θ.
To sketch the graph of y = sin−1
x, Table 3.32 presents the tables of values
for y = sin x and y = sin−1
x. Recall that the graphs of y = sin x and y = sin−1
x
are symmetric with respect to the line y = x. This means that if a point (a, b) is
on y = sin x, then (b, a) is on y = sin−1
x.

Because y = sin−1
(x + 1) is equivalent to y = sin−1
[x − (−1)], the graph of
y = sin−1
(x + 1) is 1-unit to the left of y = sin−1
x. The graph below shows
y = sin−1

Observe that the process in getting the value of an inverse function is the
same to all inverse functions. That is, y = f−1
(x) is the same as f(y) = x. We
need to remember the range of each inverse trigonometric function. Table 3.39

2x?
(b) What is the range of y = sin−1
2x?
(c) What is the x−intercept of y = sin−1
2x?
Solution:
(a) Consider the function f(θ) = sin−1
θ. The domain of sin−1
θ is [−1, 1].
So, θ = 2x ∈ [−1, 1]. Therefore, the domain of sin−1
2x is [−1/2, 1/2].

4. From the concept of projectile motion, if an object is directed at an angle θ
(with θ ∈ [0, π/2]), then the range will be R =
v2
0
g
sin 2θ (in feet) where v0 (in
ft/s) is the initial speed and g = 32 ft/s2
is the acceleration due to gravity.
At what angle shall the object be directed so that the range will be 100 ft,
given that the initial speed is v0 = 80 ft/s?
Solution: From the formula of the range, we get
100 =
802
32
sin 2θ =⇒
1
2
= sin 2θ
Since θ must be from 0 to π
2
(i.e. 0 ≤ 2θ ≤ π), this is equivalent to finding 2θ
such that 2θ = sin−1 1
2
. Hence,
2θ =
π
6
=⇒ θ =

Therefore, the object must be directed at an angle of π
12

a projectile range of 100 ft.

Introduction
We have studied equations in Lesson 3.4. We differentiated an identity from
a conditional equation. Recall that an identity is an equation that is true for all

values of the variable in the domain of the equation, while a conditional equation
is an equation that is not an identity.
In this lesson, we mostly study conditional trigonometric equations. Though
not explicitly, we have started it in the preceding lesson. For example, the equa-
tion sin x = 1
2
has the unique solution x = sin−1 1
2
= π
6
in the closed interval
−π
2
, π
2
. However, if we consider the entire domain (not the restricted domain)
of the sine function, which is the set R of real numbers, there are solutions (other
than π
6
) of the equation sin x = 1
2
. This current lesson explores the techniques of
solving (conditional) trigonometric equations.
We divide the lesson into two groups of equations: the ones using a basic way
of solving, and those using more advanced techniques.
3.8.1. Solutions of a Trigonometric Equation
Any equation that involves trigonometric expressions is called a trigonometric
equation. Recall that a solution or a root of an equation is a number in the domain
of the equation that, when substituted to the variable, makes the equation true.
The set of all solutions of an equation is called the solution set of the equation.
Technically, the basic method to show that a particular number is a solution
of an equation is to substitute the number to the variable and see if the equation
becomes true. However, we may use our knowledge gained from the previous
lessons to do a quicker verification process by not doing the manual substitution
and checking. We use this technique in the example.

(9) 2 sin x + tan x − 2 cos x = 2
(10) sin2
x + cos2
x = 2
(11) sin 2x = sin x
(12) 2 tan x + 4 sin x = 2 + sec x
Solution. Note that the choices (except 2π) are numbers within the interval [0, π].
To quickly determine which numbers among the choices are solutions to a par-
ticular equation, we use some distinctive properties of the possible solutions.
(1) The sine function is positive on (0, π). From Lesson 3.2, we recall that π
6
is
an obvious solution. We may imagine the graph of y = sin x. We may also
use the idea of reference angle. Thus, among the choices, only π
6
and 5π
6
are
the only solutions of sin x = 1
2
.

(2) Since tan x = 1 > 0, any solution of the equation among the choices must
be in the interval 0, π
2
(that is, in QI). Again, among the choices, the only
solution to tan x = 1 is π
4
.
(3) Here, the given equation is equivalent to sec x = −2
√
3
3
. Among the choices,
the only solution of the equation 3 sec x = −2
√
3 is 5π
6
.
(4) Eliminating the absolute value sign, the given equation is equivalent to cot x =√
3
3
or cot x = −
√
3
3
. Among the choices, the only solution of cot x =
√
3
3
is π
3
,
while the other equation has 2π
3
. Thus, the only solutions of
√
3| cot x| = 1
from the given set are π
3
and 2π
3
.
(5) The given equation is one of the Pythagorean Identities (page 175). It means
that all numbers in the domain of the equation are solutions. The domain
of the equation is R  {x : cos x = 0}. Thus, all except π
2
are solutions of
sec2
x − tan2
x = 1.
(6) For the sum of sin x and cos x to be 0, they must have equal absolute values
but different signs. Among the choices, only 3π
4
satisfies these properties, and
it is the only solution of sin x + cos x = 0.
(7) This equations is one of the Double-Angle Identities for Cosine. This means
that all numbers in the domain of the equation are its solutions. Because the
domain of the given equation is R, all numbers in the given set are solutions
of cos2
x = cos 2x + sin2
x.
(8) We substitute each number in the choices to the expression on the left-side
of the equation, and select those numbers that give resulting values equal to
1.

x = 1.

3.8.2. Equations with One Term
From the preceding discussion, you may observe that there may be more solutions
of a given equation outside the given set. We now find all solutions of a given
equation.
We will start with a group of equations having straightforward techniques
in finding their solutions. These simple techniques involve at least one of the
following ideas:

(1) equivalent equations (that is, equations that have the same solutions as the
original equation);
(2) periodicity of the trigonometric function involved;
(3) inverse trigonometric function;
(4) values of the trigonometric function involved on the interval [0, π] or [0, 2π]
(depending on the periodicity of the function); and
(5) Zero-Factor Law: ab = 0 if and only if a = 0 or b = 0.
To “solve an equation” means to find all solutions of the equation. Here,
unless stated as angles measured in degrees, we mean solutions of the equation
that are real numbers (or equivalently, angles measured in radians).
Example 3.8.2. Solve the equation 2 cos x − 1 = 0.
Solution. The given equation is equivalent to
cos x =
1
2
.
On the interval [0, 2π], there are only two solutions of the last equation, and these
are x = π
3
(this is in QI) and x = 5π
3
(in QIV).
Because the period of cosine function is 2π, the complete solutions of the
equation are x = π
3
+ k(2π) and x = 5π
3
+ k(2π) for all integers k. 2
In the preceding example, by saying that the “complete solutions are x =
π
3
+ k(2π) and x = 5π
3
+ k(2π) for all integers k,” we mean that any integral
value of k will produce a solution to the given equation. For example, when
k = 3, x = π
3
+ 3(2π) = 19π
3
is a solution of the equation. When k = −2,
x = 5π
3
+ (−2)(2π) = −7π
3
is another solution of 2 cos x − 1 = 0. The family of
solutions x = π
3
+ k(2π) can be equivalently enumerated as x = 19π
3
+ 2kπ, while
the family x = 5π
3
+ k(2π) can also be stated as x = −7π
3
+ 2kπ.
Example 3.8.3. Solve: (1 + cos θ)(tan θ − 1) = 0.
Solution. By the Zero-Factor Law, the given equation is equivalent to
1 + cos θ = 0 or tan θ − 1 = 0
cos θ = −1 tan θ = 1
θ = π + 2kπ, k ∈ Z θ = π
4
+ kπ, k ∈ Z.
Therefore, the solutions of the equation are θ = π + 2kπ and θ = π
4
+ kπ for all
k ∈ Z. 2

Example 3.8.5. Solve: cos x = 0.1.
Solution. There is no special number whose cosine is 0.1. However, because
0.1 ∈ [−1, 1], there is a number whose cosine is 0.1. In fact, in any one-period
interval, with cos x = 0.1 > 0, we expect two solutions: one in QI and another in
QIV. We use the inverse cosine function.
From Lesson 3.7, one particular solution of cos x = 0.1 in QI is x = cos−1
0.1.
We can use this solution to get a particular solution in QIV, and this is x =
2π − cos−1
0.1, which is equivalent to x = − cos−1
0.1.
From the above particular solutions, we can produce all solutions of cos x =
0.1, and these are x = cos−1
0.1+2kπ and x = − cos−1
0.1+2kπ for all k ∈ Z. 2
Example 3.8.6. Solve: 3 tan θ + 5 = 0.
Solution.
3 tan θ + 5 = 0 =⇒ tan θ = −5

We expect only one solution in any one-period interval.
tan θ = −5

=⇒ θ = tan−1

Example 3.8.7. The voltage V (in volts) coming from an electricity distribut-
ing company is fluctuating according to the function V (t) = 200 + 170 sin(120πt)
at time t in seconds.
(1) Determine the first time it takes to reach 300 volts.
(2) For what values of t does the voltage reach its maximum value?
Solution. (1) We solve for the least positive value of t such that V (t) = 300.
200 + 170 sin(120πt) = 300
sin(120πt) =
100

(2) The maximum value of V (t) happens when and only when the maximum
value of sin(120πt) is reached. We know that the maximum value of sin(120πt)
is 1, and it follows that the maximum value of V (t) is 370 volts. Thus, we
need to solve for all values of t such that sin(120πt) = 1.

This means that the voltage is maximum when t ≈ 0.00417+0.017k for each
nonnegative integer k. 2
3.8.3. Equations with Two or More Terms
We will now consider a group of equations having multi-step techniques of finding
their solutions. Coupled with the straightforward techniques we learned in the
preceding discussion, these more advanced techniques involve factoring of expres-
sions and trigonometric identities. The primary goal is to reduce a given equation
into equivalent one-term equations.
Example 3.8.8. Solve: 2 cos x tan x = 2 cos x.
Solution.
2 cos x tan x = 2 cos x
2 cos x tan x − 2 cos x = 0
(2 cos x)(tan x − 1) = 0

Tips in Solving Trigonometric Equations
(1) If the equation contains only one trigonometric term, isolate that
term, and solve for the variable.
(2) If the equation is quadratic in form, we may use factoring, finding
square roots, or the quadratic formula.
(3) Rewrite the equation to have 0 on one side, and then factor (if
appropriate) the expression on the other side.
(4) If the equation contains more than one trigonometric function,
try to express everything in terms of one trigonometric function.
Here, identities are useful.
(5) If half or multiple angles are present, express them in terms of a
trigonometric expression of a single angle, except when all angles
involved have the same multiplicity wherein, in this case, retain
the angle. Half-angle and double-angle identities are useful in
simplification.

One part of the last solution needs further explanation. In the equation
sin x = −1
3
, we expect two solutions in the interval [0, 2π): one in (π, 3π
2
) (which
is QIII), and another in (3π
2
, 2π) (which is QIV). Since no special number satisfies
sin x = −1
3
, we use inverse sine function. Because the range of sin−1
is [−π
2
, π
2
], we
know that −π
2
< sin−1
(−1
3
) < 0. From this value, to get the solution in (3π
2
, 2π),
we simply add 2π to this value, resulting to x = sin−1
(−1
3
) + 2π. On the other
hand, to get the solution in (π, 3π
2
), we simply add − sin−1
(−1
3
) to π, resulting to
x = π − sin−1
(−1
3
).

Apply the Double-Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine, and then factor.

cos x = 1/2 or cos x = −1/2. The first equation have solutions of the form
(π/3 + 2kπ) or (5π/3 + 2kπ) where k ∈ Z, while the second equation have
solutions of the form (2π/3 + 2kπ) or (4π/3 + 2kπ). Combining the two solu-

8. If x ∈ [0, 2π), solve the equation 2 sin2
x =
√
3 sin x.
Solution: First, we write the equation as 2 sin2
x −
√
3 sin x = 0. Then, we
factor out sin x and get
sin x(2 sin x −
√
3) = 0 =⇒ sin x = 0 or sin x =
√
3/2.
The first of these equations has solutions x = 0 and x = π, while the second
has solutions x = π/3 and 2π/3. The solutions of the original equation is the
union of the two, i.e., the solution set is {0, π, π
3
, 2π
3
}.
9. Solve 2 cos2
x + 5 cos x − 3 = 0, where x ∈ [0, 2π).
Solution: By factoring the left hand side of the given equation, we get (2 cos x−
1)(cos x + 3) = 0. This gives us two equations, namely
cos x =
1
2
and cos x = −3.
First, we remark that the second equation does not have a solution because
cos x should be more than or equal to -1. Hence, the solution of the first
equation is the solution of the original equation. Thus, the solution set is
{π
3
, 5π
3
}.
10. Determine the solution set of the equation cos 2x = sin x on [0, 2π).
Solution: Combining the equation cos 2x = sin x with the cosine double-angle
identity cos 2x = 1 − 2 sin2
x, we get
sin x = 1 − 2 sin2
x.
This is equivalent to
2 sin2
x + sin x − 1 = 0 =⇒ (2 sin x − 1)(sin x + 1) = 0
=⇒ sin x = 1/2 and sin x = −1.
The solutions of the first equation is x = π/6 and x = 5π/6. The number
x = 3π/2 is the solution of the second equation. Therefore, the solution set of
the original equation is {π
6
, 5π
6
, 3π
2
}.
11. Solve cos x = cos 2x, for x ∈ [0, 2π).
Solution:
cos x = cos 2x
⇒ cos x = 2 cos2
x − 1
⇒ 0 = 2 cos2
x − cos x − 1
⇒ 0 = (2 cos x + 1)(cos x − 1).

The given trigonometric equation is equivalent to solving 2 cos x + 1 = 0 and
cos x = 1. For 2 cos x+1 = 0 which is the same as cos x = −1/2, the solutions
in the given interval are x = 2π/3, 4π/3. For cos x = 1, the solution is x = 0.
Therefore, the solution set of the original equation is {0, 2π
3

}.
12. A lighthouse at sea level is 34 mi from a boat. It is known that the top of
the lighthouse is 42.5 mi from the boat and that x = r cos θ, where x is the
horizontal distance, r is the distance of the top of the lighthouse from the
boat, and θ is the angle of depression from the top of lighthouse. Find θ.
Solution:
x = r cos θ =⇒ cos θ =

≈ 0.6435 (or 36.87◦

For this case, we used a calculator to find the value of the unknown variable
θ since 4

is not a special value for cosine.
13. Three cities, A, B, and C, are positioned in a triangle as seen in the figure
below.
It is known that City A is 140 mi from City C, while City B is 210 mi from
City C. Cities A and B are 70
√
7 mi apart. Also, by the Cosine Law, we have
z2
= x2
+ y2
− 2xy cos γ
where x, y, and z are the respective distances of BC, AC, AB, and γ =
m∠ACB. Find γ.
Solution: Substituting the corresponding values of x, y, and z, the problem is
now equivalent to solving the equation
34300 = 44100 + 19600 − 58800 cos γ
⇒ −29400 = −58800 cos γ
⇒ 1

Lesson Outline
(1) Polar coordinate system: pole and polar axis
(2) Polar coordinates of a point and its location
(3) Conversion from polar to rectangular coordinates, and vice versa
(4) Simple graphs and applications
Introduction
Two-dimensional coordinate systems are used to describe a point in a plane.
We previously used the Cartesian or rectangular coordinate system to locate a
point in the plane. That point is denoted by (x, y), where x is the signed dis-
tance of the point from the y-axis, and y is the signed distance of the point
from the x-axis. We sketched the graphs of equations (lines, circles, parabolas,
ellipses, and hyperbolas) and functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, log-
arithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric) in the Cartesian coordinate
plane. However, it is often convenient to locate a point based on its distance
from a fixed point and its angle with respect to a fixed ray. Not all equations
can be graphed easily using Cartesian coordinates. In this lesson, we also use
another coordinate system, which can be presented in dartboard-like plane as
shown below.
3.9.1. Polar Coordinates of a Point
We now introduce the polar coordinate system. It is composed of a fixed point
called the pole (which is the origin in the Cartesian coordinate system) and a

fixed ray called the polar axis (which is the nonnegative x-axis).
In the polar coordinate system, a point is described by the ordered pair (r, θ).
The radial coordinate r refers to the directed distance of the point from the pole.
The angular coordinate θ refers to a directed angle (usually in radians) from the
polar axis to the segment joining the point and the pole.
Because a point in polar coordinate system is described by an order pair of
radial coordinate and angular coordinate, it will be more convenient to geomet-
rically present the system in a polar plane, which serves just like the Cartesian
plane. In the polar plane shown below, instead of rectangular grids in the Carte-
sian plane, we have concentric circles with common center at the pole to identify
easily the distance from the pole (radial coordinate) and angular rays emanating
from the pole to show the angles from the polar axis (angular coordinate).

Example 3.9.1. Plot the following points in one polar plane: A(3, π
3
), B(1, 5π
6
),
C(2, 7π
6
), D(4, 19π
12
), E(3, −π), F(4, −7π
6
), G(2.5, 17π
4
), H(4, 17π
6
), and I(3, −5π
3
).
Solution.
As seen in the last example, unlike in Cartesian plane where a point has a
unique Cartesian coordinate representation, a point in polar plane have infinitely
many polar coordinate representations. For example, the coordinates (3, 4) in
the Cartesian plane refer to exactly one point in the plane, and this particular
point has no rectangular coordinate representations other than (3, 4). However,
the coordinates (3, π
3
) in the polar plane also refer to exactly one point, but
this point has other polar coordinate representations. For example, the polar
coordinates (3, −5π
3
), (3, 7π
3
), (3, 13π
3
), and (3, 19π
3
) all refer to the same point as
that of (3, π
3
).
The polar coordinates (r, θ + 2kπ), where k ∈ Z, represent the same
point as that of (r, θ).
In polar coordinate system, it is possible for the coordinates (r, θ) to have
a negative value of r. In this case, the point is |r| units from the pole in the
opposite direction of the terminal side of θ, as shown in Figure 3.41.

Points in Polar Coordinates
1. For any θ, the polar coordinates (0, θ) represent the pole.
2. A point with polar coordinates (r, θ) can also be represented by
(r, θ + 2kπ) or (−r, θ + π + 2kπ) for any integer k.
3.9.2. From Polar to Rectangular, and Vice Versa
We now have two ways to describe points on a plane – whether to use the Carte-
sian coordinates (x, y) or the polar coordinates (r, θ). We now derive the conver-
sion from one of these coordinate systems to the other.
We superimpose the Cartesian and polar planes, as shown in the following
diagram.
Figure 3.42
Suppose a point P is represented by the polar coordinates (r, θ). From Lesson
3.2 (in particular, the boxed definition on page 139), we know that
x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ.

As explained on page 239 (right after Example 3.9.1), we expect that there
are infinitely many polar coordinate representations that correspond to just one
given rectangular coordinate representation. Although we can actually determine
all of them, we only need to know one of them and we can choose r ≥ 0.
Suppose a point P is represented by the rectangular coordinates (x, y). Re-
ferring back to Figure 3.42, the equation of the circle is
x2
+ y2
= r2
=⇒ r = x2 + y2.
We now determine θ. If x = y = 0, then r = 0 and the point is the pole. The
pole has coordinates (0, θ), where θ is any real number.
If x = 0 and y = 0, then we may choose θ to be either π
2
or 3π
2
(or their
equivalents) depending on whether y > 0 or y < 0, respectively.
Now, suppose x = 0. From the boxed definition again on page 139, we know
that
tan θ =
y
x
,
where θ is an angle in standard position whose terminal side passes through the
point (x, y).

3.9.3. Basic Polar Graphs and Applications
From the preceding session, we learned how to convert polar coordinates of a
point to rectangular and vice versa using the following conversion formulas:
r2
= x2
+ y2
, tan θ =
y
x
, x = r cos θ, and y = r sin θ.
Because a graph is composed of points, we can identify the graphs of some equa-
tions in terms of r and θ.
Graph of a Polar Equation
The polar graph of an equation involving r and θ is the set of all
points with polar coordinates (r, θ) that satisfy the equation.
As a quick illustration, the polar graph of the equation r = 2−2 sin θ consists
of all points (r, θ) that satisfy the equation. Some of these points are (2, 0), (1, π
6
),
(0, π
2
), (2, π), and (4, 3π
2
).
Example 3.9.5. Identify the polar graph of r = 2, and sketch its graph in the
polar plane.
Solution. Squaring the equation, we get r2
= 4. Because r2
= x2
+ y2
, we have
x2
+y2
= 4, which is a circle of radius 2 and with center at the origin. Therefore,
the graph of r = 2 is a circle of radius 2 with center at the pole, as shown below.

In the previous example, instead of using the conversion formula r2
= x2
+y2
,
we may also identify the graph of r = 2 by observing that its graph consists of
points (2, θ) for all θ. In other words, the graph consists of all points with radial
distance 2 from the pole as θ rotates around the polar plane. Therefore, the
graph of r = 2 is indeed a circle of radius 2 as shown.
Example 3.9.6. Identify and sketch the polar graph of θ = −5π
4
.
Solution. The graph of θ = −5π
4
consists of all points (r, −5π
4
) for r ∈ R. If
r > 0, then points (r, −5π
4
) determine a ray from the pole with angle −5π
4
from
the polar axis. If r = 0, then (0, −5π
4
) is the pole. If r < 0, then the points
(r, −5π
4
) determine a ray in opposite direction to that of r > 0. Therefore, the
graph of θ = −5π
4
is a line passing through the pole and with angle −5π
4
with
respect to the polar axis, as shown below.
Example 3.9.7. Identify (and describe) the graph of the equation r = 4 sin θ.
Solution.
r = 4 sin θ
r2
= 4r sin θ
x2
+ y2
= 4y
x2
+ y2
− 4y = 0
x2
+ (y − 2)2
= 4
Therefore, the graph of r = 4 sin θ is a circle of radius 2 and with center at (2, π
2
).

3. Convert the following polar points to Cartesian coordinates.
(a) (5, 5π/4) to Cartesian coordinates
(b) (−2, 3π/4) to Cartesian coordinates
(c) (π, π)
(d) (0, 10)
Solution: (a) Using the conversion formulas with r = 5 and θ = 5π/4, we get
x = r cos θ = 5 cos(5π/4) = −5
√
2/2
and
y = r sin θ = 5 sin(5π/4) = −5
√
2/2.
Therefore, (5, 5π/4) in Cartesian coordinate is(−5
√
2/2, −5
√
2/2).
(b) Using the conversion formulas with r = −2 and θ = 5 = 3π/4, we get
x = r cos θ = −2 cos(3π/4) = 2
√
2/2
and
y = r sin θ = −2 sin(3π/4) = −2
√
2/2.
Therefore, (−2, 3π/4) in Cartesian coordinate is (2
√
2/2, −2
√
2/2).
(c) Notice here that π is used in two different ways. First is π, with numerical
value approximately equal to −3.14, is used as a radius and second, as an
angle equivalent to 180◦
. That is, the point is in the negative x-axis π units
away from the origin. Hence, the Cartesian coordinate of (π, π) is (−π, 0).
(d) Since the radius is 0, then the polar point (0, 10) is the origin with Cartesian
coordinate (0, 0).
4. Convert the following Cartesian points to polar coordinates.
(a) (5, −5)
(b) (−3,
√
3)
(c) (−5
√
3, −15)
(d) (8, 0)
Solution: (a) The point (x, y) = (5, −5) is in the fourth quadrant. Using the
conversion formulas, we get
r = x2 + y2 = 52 + (−5)2 = 5
√
2
and
θ = tan−1
(y/x) = tan−1
(−1) = −π/4.
Therefore, (5, −5) in polar coordinate is (5
√
2, −π/4).

6. A boy is flying a kite with an angle of elevation of 60◦
from where he stands.
What is the direct distance of the kite from him, if the the kite is 6 ft above
the ground?
Solution: The problem can be illustrated as follows:
Here, r (in ft) is the distance of the kite from the boy and θ is the angle of
depression. To solve for r, we apply the formula y = r sin θ. Thus,
r = y/ sin θ = 6/ sin(60◦
) = 6/(

Therefore, the kite is 4

5. We have the system 


x2
+ (y − 6)2
= 36
x2
= 4ky,
where the first equation is a circle above the x-axis, tangent to the x-axis at
x = 0, and the second equation is a parabola facing up/down, depending on
k.
Substituting the second equation in the first equation yields y2
+(4k−12)y = 0.
Note that y = 0 is already a root.
We now consider two cases.
If k > 0, the system might have one or two solutions. To ensure that the
solution is unique, we set the discriminant to be nonpositive: 4k − 12 ≤ 0 ⇒
k ≥ 3.
If k ≤ 0, the system will always have a unique solution.
Thus k ∈ (−∞, 0] ∪ (3, +∞).
1. (a) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
are equal, the graph is a circle, a point,
or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is
equivalent to
x −
1
2
2
+ y +
3
2
2
= 4.
Hence, the graph is a circle with center (0.5, −1.5) and radius 2.
(b) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. Completing the squares, we see
that the equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2
= 14(y + 4). Hence, the graph
has vertex at (−2, −4) and is opening upward.
(c) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
are of opposite signs, the graph is a
hyperbola or a pair of intersecting lines. Completing the squares, we see
that the equation is equivalent to
(x − 7)2
4
−
(y + 3)2
3
= 1.
Hence, the graph is a horizontal hyperbola with center at (7, −3).
(d) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
have the same sign and are unequal,
the graph is an ellipse, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares,
we see that the equation is equivalent to
(x − 8)2
2
+
y2
7
= 0.
Hence, the graph is the point (8, 0).

3. (a) The parabola opens to the right and has focal distance c = 6. Its equation
is (y − 3)2
= 24(x + 1).
(b) The intersection (−2, −5) of the two asymptotes is the center of the
hyperbola. Then the hyperbola is horizontal and a = 5. Using the slopes
of the asymptotes, we have b
a

4
. It follows that b = 12 and the
equation is
(x + 2)2

−
(y + 5)2

4. Multiplying the first equation by 2, we get 2(x − 1)2
+ 2(y + 1)2
= 10. By
subtracting the second equation from this new equation, we get the equation
2(y + 1)2
+ 8 = 10 − y. This has solutions y = 0 and y = −5/2.
When y = 0, the corresponding x values are 3 and −1. When y = −5/2,
the corresponding x values are ±

Then the ellipse has center (0, 2) with a = 1/2 and b = 0.3; then its is equation
x2
0.52 + (y−2)2
0.32 = 1.
To determine if the cabinet can be pushed through the doorway, we determine
the height of the doorway when x = 0.25 (or −0.25). We solve for y from the
equation 0.252
0.52 + (y−2)2
0.32 = 1. Solving for the y coordinate, we see that the height
is ≈ 2.2598 m. Hence, the cabinet cannot be pushed through the doorway.
6. Let (x, y) be the coordinates of the point. This point satisfies
x2 + (y + 1)2 = 2|x − 3|.
Manipulating this equation gives us
x2
+ (y + 1)2
= 4(x2
− 6y + 9)
−3(x2
− 8x + 16) + (y + 1)2
= 36 − 48
−3(x − 4)2
+ (y + 1)2
= −12
(x − 4)2

(y + 1)2
12
= 1.
Therefore, the point traces a horizontal hyperbola with center at (4, −1).
1. (a) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. Completing the squares, we see
that the equation is equivalent to (y −5)2
= −8(x−5). Hence, the graph
has vertex at (5, 5) and is opening to the left.
(b) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
are equal, the graph is a circle, a point,
or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is
equivalent to (x + 5)2
+ (y + 9)2
= −4. Hence, the graph is the empty
set.
(c) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
have the same sign and are unequal,
the graph is an ellipse, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares,
we see that the equation is equivalent to
(x + 2)2
4
+
(y − 1)2
9
= 1. Hence,
the graph is a vertical ellipse with center (−2, 1).
(d) Since the coefficients of x2
and y2
are of opposite signs, the graph is a
hyperbola or a pair of intersecting lines. Completing the squares, we
see that the equation is equivalent to
(y − 4)2
11
−
(x − 6)2
17
= 0. Hence,
the graph is a pair of intersecting lines given by the equations y − 4 =
±11
17
(x − 6).

3. (a) The parabola opens downward and has focal distance c = 5. Its equation
is (x − 7)2
= −20(y + 7).
(b) Since the ellipse has vertical or horizontal major axis, the center is at
either (−1, 12) or (−5, 3). Since the major axis is longer than the minor
axis, the center must be at (−5, 3). Then the ellipse is vertical with a = 9
and b = 4. Its equation is
(x + 5)2

4. Completing the squares, we see that the first equation is equivalent to 9(x +
3)2
= 4y2
+ 36. On the other hand, the second equation is equivalent to
9(x + 3)2
= 36y + 36. Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get
4y2
− 36y = 0, which has solutions y = 0 and y = 9.
When y = 0, the corresponding x values are −5 and −1. When y = 9, the
corresponding x values are −3 ± 2
√
10. Therefore, the solutions are (−5, 0),
(−1, 0), −3 ± 2
√
10, 9 .
5. Set up a coordinate system so that the opening of the hose (the parabola’s
vertex) is at (0, 3) and that the water flows towards the positive x-axis. Then
the x-axis (y = 0) corresponds to the ground; it follows the parabola passes
through the point (2, 0). Hence, the equation of the parabola is x2
= −4
3
(y−3).
If Nikko stands on a 1.5-ft stool and the vertex remains at (0, 3), the line
y = −1.5 will correspond to the ground. Hence, the water will strike the
ground when y = −1.5. This gives x = −4
3
(−1.5 − 3) =
√
6. Therefore, the
water will travel
√
6 − 2 ft further before striking the ground.
6. Let (x, y) be the coordinates of the point. This point satisfies
(x − 2)2 + y2 =
2
3
|y − 5|.
Manipulating this equation gives us
(x − 2)2
+ y2
=

9
(y2
− 10y + 25)
9(x − 2)2
+ 5(y2

+ 5(y + 4)2
= 100 + 80
(x − 2)2
20
+
(y + 4)2
36
= 1.
Therefore, the point traces a vertical ellipse with center at (2, −4).
1. a3 = a1 +(3−1)d = 35; a10 = a1 +(10−1)d = 77 ⇒ d = 6, a1 = 23 ⇒ a5 = 47.
3. sn =
n (2(17) + (n − 1)3)
2
= 30705 ⇒ 3n2
+ 31n − 61410 = 0. Using the
quadratic formula and noting that n must be a whole number, we have n =
138.
5. We have s = 108 =
a1
1 − r
and s3 = 112 =
a1 (1 − r3
)
1 − r
= 108 (1 − r3
) ⇒ r =

7. Note that 0.123123 . . . = 0.123 + 0.000123 + 0.000000123 + . . . = 0.123 +
0.123(0.001) + 0.123(0.001)2
+ . . ., which is an infinite geometric series with
r = 0.001. Thus, 0.123 =

1 − 0.001

.
9. We have s4 =
4 (2a1 + (4 − 1)d)
2
= 80 ⇒ 2a1 + 3d = 40. Since the sum of the
first two numbers are one-third of the sum of the last two numbers, we have
1
3
(a1 + a2) = a3 + a4 ⇒ 4a1 + 14d = 0. Combining yields d = 10, and thus
a1 = 5, a2 = 15, a3 = 25, a4 = 35.
11. Note that this is a geometric series with common ratio 2n − 1. Thus, the sum
will have a finite value if |2n − 1| < 1 ⇒ −1 < 2n − 1 < 1 ⇒ 0 < n < 1.
Thus, n ∈ (0, 1).

    D EPED C O PY To the PrecalculusLearners The Precalculus course bridges basic mathematics and calculus. This course completes your foundational knowledge on algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. It provides you with conceptual understanding and computational skills that are prerequisites for Basic Calculus and future STEM courses. Based on the Curriculum Guide for Precalculus of the Department of Edu- cation (see pages 2-5), the primary aim of this Learning Manual is to give you an adequate stand-alone material that can be used for the Grade 11 Precalculus course. The Manual is divided into three units: analytic geometry, summation no- tation and mathematical induction, and trigonometry. Each unit is composed of lessons that bring together related learning competencies in the unit. Each lesson is further divided into sub-lessons that focus on one or two competencies for effective learning. At the end of each lesson, more examples are given in Solved Examples to reinforce the ideas and skills being developed in the lesson. You have the oppor- tunity to check your understanding of the lesson by solving the Supplementary Problems. Finally, two sets of Topic Test are included to prepare you for the exam. Answers, solutions, or hints to odd-numbered items in the Supplementary Problems and all items in the Topic Tests are provided at the end of the Manual to guide you while solving them. We hope that you will use this feature of the Manual responsibly. Some items are marked with a star. A starred sub-lesson means the discussion and accomplishment of the sub-lesson are optional. This will be decided by your teacher. On the other hand, a starred example or exercise means the use of calculator is required. We hope that you will find this Learning Manual helpful and convenient to use. We encourage you to carefully study this Manual and solve the exercises yourselves with the guidance of your teacher. Although great effort has been put into this Manual for technical correctness and precision, any mistake found and reported to the Team is a gain for other students. Thank you for your cooperation.

Stretching from Samar to Leyte with a total length of more than two kilome- ters, the San Juanico Bridge has been serving as one of the main thoroughfares of economic and social development in the country since its completion in 1973. Adding picturesque effect on the whole architecture, geometric structures are subtly built to serve other purposes. The arch-shaped support on the main span of the bridge helps maximize its strength to withstand mechanical resonance and aeroelastic flutter brought about by heavy vehicles and passing winds. 6 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 1.1. Introductionto Conic Sections and Circles Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) illustrate the different types of conic sections: parabola, ellipse, circle, hyper- bola, and degenerate cases; (2) define a circle; (3) determine the standard form of equation of a circle; (4) graph a circle in a rectangular coordinate system; and (5) solve situational problems involving conic sections (circles). Lesson Outline (1) Introduction of the four conic sections, along with the degenerate conics (2) Definition of a circle (3) Derivation of the standard equation of a circle (4) Graphing circles (5) Solving situational problems involving circles Introduction We present the conic sections, a particular class of curves which sometimes appear in nature and which have applications in other fields. In this lesson, we first illustrate how each of these curves is obtained from the intersection of a plane and a cone, and then discuss the first of their kind, circles. The other conic sections will be covered in the next lessons. 1.1.1. An Overview of Conic Sections We introduce the conic sections (or conics), a particular class of curves which oftentimes appear in nature and which have applications in other fields. One of the first shapes we learned, a circle, is a conic. When you throw a ball, the trajectory it takes is a parabola. The orbit taken by each planet around the sun is an ellipse. Properties of hyperbolas have been used in the design of certain telescopes and navigation systems. We will discuss circles in this lesson, leaving parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas for subsequent lessons. • Circle (Figure 1.1) - when the plane is horizontal • Ellipse (Figure 1.1) - when the (tilted) plane intersects only one cone to form a bounded curve 7 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY • Parabola (Figure1.2) - when the plane intersects only one cone to form an unbounded curve • Hyperbola (Figure 1.3) - when the plane (not necessarily vertical) intersects both cones to form two unbounded curves (each called a branch of the hyper- bola) Figure 1.1 Figure 1.2 Figure 1.3 We can draw these conic sections (also called conics) on a rectangular co- ordinate plane and find their equations. To be able to do this, we will present equivalent definitions of these conic sections in subsequent sections, and use these to find the equations. There are other ways for a plane and the cones to intersect, to form what are referred to as degenerate conics: a point, one line, and two lines. See Figures 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. Figure 1.4 Figure 1.5 Figure 1.6 1.1.2. Definition and Equation of a Circle A circle may also be considered a special kind of ellipse (for the special case when the tilted plane is horizontal). As we get to know more about a circle, we will also be able to distinguish more between these two conics. 8 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY See Figure 1.7,with the point C(3, 1) shown. From the figure, the distance of A(−2, 1) from C is AC = 5. By the distance formula, the distance of B(6, 5) from C is BC = (6 − 3)2 + (5 − 1)2 = 5. There are other points P such that PC = 5. The collection of all such points which are 5 units away from C, forms a circle. Figure 1.7 Figure 1.8 Let C be a given point. The set of all points P having the same distance from C is called a circle. The point C is called the center of the circle, and the common distance its radius. The term radius is both used to refer to a segment from the center C to a point P on the circle, and the length of this segment. See Figure 1.8, where a circle is drawn. It has center C(h, k) and radius r > 0. A point P(x, y) is on the circle if and only if PC = r. For any such point then, its coordinates should satisfy the following. PC = r (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2 This is the standard equation of the circle with center C(h, k) and radius r. If the center is the origin, then h = 0 and k = 0. The standard equation is then x2 + y2 = r2 . 9 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 1.1.1. Ineach item, give the standard equation of the circle satisfy- ing the given conditions. (1) center at the origin, radius 4 (2) center (−4, 3), radius √ 7 (3) circle in Figure 1.7 (4) circle A in Figure 1.9 (5) circle B in Figure 1.9 (6) center (5, −6), tangent to the y- axis Figure 1.9 (7) center (5, −6), tangent to the x-axis (8) It has a diameter with endpoints A(−1, 4) and B(4, 2). Solution. (1) x2 + y2 = 16 (2) (x + 4)2 + (y − 3)2 = 7 (3) The center is (3, 1) and the radius is 5, so the equation is (x−3)2 +(y−1)2 = 25. (4) By inspection, the center is (−2, −1) and the radius is 4. The equation is (x + 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 16. (5) Similarly by inspection, we have (x − 3)2 + (y − 2)2 = 9. (6) The center is 5 units away from the y-axis, so the radius is r = 5 (you can make a sketch to see why). The equation is (x − 5)2 + (y + 6)2 = 25. (7) Similarly, since the center is 6 units away from the x-axis, the equation is (x − 5)2 + (y + 6)2 = 36. (8) The center C is the midpoint of A and B: C = −1+4 2 , 4+2 2 = 3 2 , 3 . The radius is then r = AC = −1 − 3 2 2 + (4 − 3)2 = 29 4 . The circle has equation x − 3 2 2 + (y − 3)2 = 29 4 . 2 1.1.3. More Properties of Circles After expanding, the standard equation x − 3 2 2 + (y − 3)2 = 29 4 can be rewritten as x2 + y2 − 3x − 6y + 4 = 0, an equation of the circle in general form. 10 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY If the equationof a circle is given in the general form Ax2 + Ay2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0, A = 0, or x2 + y2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0, we can determine the standard form by completing the square in both variables. Completing the square in an expression like x2 + 14x means determining the term to be added that will produce a perfect polynomial square. Since the coefficient of x2 is already 1, we take half the coefficient of x and square it, and we get 49. Indeed, x2 + 14x + 49 = (x + 7)2 is a perfect square. To complete the square in, say, 3x2 + 18x, we factor the coefficient of x2 from the expression: 3(x2 + 6x), then add 9 inside. When completing a square in an equation, any extra term introduced on one side should also be added to the other side. Example 1.1.2. Identify the center and radius of the circle with the given equa- tion in each item. Sketch its graph, and indicate the center. (1) x2 + y2 − 6x = 7 (2) x2 + y2 − 14x + 2y = −14 (3) 16x2 + 16y2 + 96x − 40y = 315 Solution. The first step is to rewrite each equation in standard form by complet- ing the square in x and in y. From the standard equation, we can determine the center and radius. (1) x2 − 6x + y2 = 7 x2 − 6x + 9 + y2 = 7 + 9 (x − 3)2 + y2 = 16 Center (3, 0), r = 4, Figure 1.10 (2) x2 − 14x + y2 + 2y = −14 x2 − 14x + 49 + y2 + 2y + 1 = −14 + 49 + 1 (x − 7)2 + (y + 1)2 = 36 Center (7, −1), r = 6, Figure 1.11 (3) 16x2 + 96x + 16y2 − 40y = 315 11 All rights reserved.

This is the reason why in the preceding example, we divided by 16 at the last equation. 1.1.4. Situational Problems Involving Circles Let us now take a look at some situational problems involving circles. Example 1.1.3. A street with two lanes, each 10 ft wide, goes through a semicircular tunnel with radius 12 ft. How high is the tunnel at the edge of each lane? Round off to 2 decimal places. 12 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. We drawa coordinate system with origin at the middle of the highway, as shown. Because of the given radius, the tunnel’s boundary is on the circle x2 + y2 = 122 . Point P is the point on the arc just above the edge of a lane, so its x-coordinate is 10. We need its y-coordinate. We then solve 102 + y2 = 122 for y > 0, giving us y = 2 √ 11 ≈ 6.63 ft. 2 Example 1.1.4. A piece of a broken plate was dug up in an archaeological site. It was put on top of a grid, as shown in Figure 1.13, with the arc of the plate passing through A(−7, 0), B(1, 4) and C(7, 2). Find its center, and the standard equation of the circle describing the boundary of the plate. Figure 1.13 Figure 1.14 Solution. We first determine the center. It is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of AB and BC (see Figure 1.14). Recall that, in a circle, the perpen- dicular bisector of any chord passes through the center. Since the midpoint M of AB is −7+1 2 , 0+4 2 = (−3, 2), and mAB = 4−0 1+7 = 1 2 , the perpendicular bisector of AB has equation y − 2 = −2(x + 3), or equivalently, y = −2x − 4. 13 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Since the midpointN of BC is 1+7 2 , 4+2 2 = (4, 3), and mBC = 2−4 7−1 = −1 3 , the perpendicular bisector of BC has equation y − 3 = 3(x − 4), or equivalently, y = 3x − 9. The intersection of the two lines y = 2x − 4 and y = 3x − 9 is (1, −6) (by solving a system of linear equations). We can take the radius as the distance of this point from any of A, B or C (it’s most convenient to use B in this case). We then get r = 10. The standard equation is thus (x − 1)2 + (y + 6)2 = 100. 2 More Solved Examples 1. In each item, give the standard equation of the circle satisying the given con- ditions. (a) center at the origin, contains (0, 3) (b) center (1, 5), diameter 8 (c) circle A in Figure 1.15 (d) circle B in Figure 1.15 (e) circle C in Figure 1.15 (f) center (−2, −3), tangent to the y- axis (g) center (−2, −3), tangent to the x- axis (h) contains the points (−2, 0) and (8, 0), radius 5 Figure 1.15 Solution: (a) The radius is 3, so the equation is x2 + y2 = 9. (b) The radius is 8/2 = 4, so the equation is (x − 1)2 + (y − 5)2 = 16. (c) The center is (−2, 2) and the radius is 2, so the equation is (x+2)2 +(y −2)2 = 4. (d) The center is (2, 3) and the radius is 1, so the equation is (x−2)2 +(y −3)2 = 1. (e) The center is (1, −1) and by the Pythagorean Theorem, the radius (see Figure 1.16) is √ 22 + 22 = √ 8, so the equation is (x − 1)2 + (x + 1)2 = 8. Figure 1.16 14 All rights reserved.

(h) The distance between (−2, 0) and (8, 0) is 10; since the radius is 5, these two points are endpoints of a diameter. Then the circle has center at (3, 0) and radius 5, so its equation is (x − 3)2 + y2 = 25. 2. Identify the center and radius of the circle with the given equation in each item.

    D EPED C O PY Figure 1.17 Figure1.18 Figure 1.19 3. A circular play area with radius 3 m is to be partitioned into two sections using a straight fence as shown in Figure 1.20. How long should the fence be? Solution: To determine the length of the fence, we need to determine the coordi- nates of its endpoints. From Figure 1.20, the endpoints have x coordinate −1 and are on the circle x2 + y2 = 9. Then 1 + y2 = 9, or y = ±2 √ 2. Therefore, the length of the fence is 4 √ 2 ≈ 5.66 m. Figure 1.20 4. A Cartesian coordinate system was used to identify locations on a circu- lar track. As shown in Figure 1.21, the circular track contains the points A(−2, −4), B(−2, 3), C(5, 2). Find the total length of the track. Figure 1.21 Figure 1.22 Solution: The segment AB is vertical and has midpoint (−2, −0.5), so its perpendicular bisector has equation y = −0.5. On the other hand, the segment BC has slope −1/7 and midpoint (1.5, 2.5), so its perpendicular bisector has equation y − 2.5 = 7(x − 1.5), or 7x − y − 8 = 0. The center of the circle is the intersection of y = −0.5 and 7x − y − 8 = 0; that is, the center is at 15 14 , −1 2 . The radius of the circle is the distance from the center to any of the points A, B, or C; by the distance formula, the radius is 2125 98 = 5 14 √ 170. Therefore, 16 All rights reserved.

Lesson Outline (1) Definition of a parabola (2) Derivation of the standard equation of a parabola (3) Graphing parabolas (4) Solving situational problems involving parabolas Introduction A parabola is one of the conic sections. We have already seen parabolas which open upward or downward, as graphs of quadratic functions. Here, we will see parabolas opening to the left or right. Applications of parabolas are presented at the end. 1.2.1. Definition and Equation of a Parabola Consider the point F(0, 2) and the line having equation y = −2, as shown in Figure 1.25. What are the distances of A(4, 2) from F and from ? (The latter is taken as the distance of A from A , the point on closest to A). How about the distances of B(−8, 8) from F and from (from B )? AF = 4 and AA = 4 BF = (−8 − 0)2 + (8 − 2)2 = 10 and BB = 10 There are other points P such that PF = PP (where P is the closest point on line ). The collection of all such points forms a shape called a parabola. Let F be a given point, and a given line not containing F. The set of all points P such that its distances from F and from are the same, is called a parabola. The point F is its focus and the line its directrix. 19 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Figure 1.25 Figure 1.26 Considera parabola with focus F(0, c) and directrix having equation y = −c. See Figure 1.26. The focus and directrix are c units above and below, respectively, the origin. Let P(x, y) be a point on the parabola so PF = PP , where P is the point on closest to P. The point P has to be on the same side of the directrix as the focus (if P was below, it would be closer to than it is from F). PF = PP x2 + (y − c)2 = y − (−c) = y + c x2 + y2 − 2cy + c2 = y2 + 2cy + c2 x2 = 4cy The vertex V is the point midway between the focus and the directrix. This equation, x2 = 4cy, is then the standard equation of a parabola opening upward with vertex V (0, 0). Suppose the focus is F(0, −c) and the directrix is y = c. In this case, a point P on the resulting parabola would be below the directrix (just like the focus). Instead of opening upward, it will open downward. Consequently, PF = x2 + (y + c)2 and PP = c − y (you may draw a version of Figure 1.26 for this case). Computations similar to the one done above will lead to the equation 20 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY x2 = −4cy. We collecthere the features of the graph of a parabola with standard equation x2 = 4cy or x2 = −4cy, where c > 0. (1) vertex: origin V (0, 0) • If the parabola opens upward, the vertex is the lowest point. If the parabola opens downward, the vertex is the highest point. (2) directrix: the line y = −c or y = c • The directrix is c units below or above the vertex. (3) focus: F(0, c) or F(0, −c) • The focus is c units above or below the vertex. • Any point on the parabola has the same distance from the focus as it has from the directrix. (4) axis of symmetry: x = 0 (the y-axis) • This line divides the parabola into two parts which are mirror images of each other. Example 1.2.1. Determine the focus and directrix of the parabola with the given equation. Sketch the graph, and indicate the focus, directrix, vertex, and axis of symmetry. 21 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (1) x2 = 12y(2) x2 = −6y Solution. (1) The vertex is V (0, 0) and the parabola opens upward. From 4c = 12, c = 3. The focus, c = 3 units above the vertex, is F(0, 3). The directrix, 3 units below the vertex, is y = −3. The axis of symmetry is x = 0. (2) The vertex is V (0, 0) and the parabola opens downward. From 4c = 6, c = 3 2 . The focus, c = 3 2 units below the vertex, is F 0, −3 2 . The directrix, 3 2 units above the vertex, is y = 3 2 . The axis of symmetry is x = 0. Example 1.2.2. What is the standard equation of the parabola in Figure 1.25? Solution. From the figure, we deduce that c = 2. The equation is thus x2 = 8y. 2 22 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 1.2.2. More Propertiesof Parabolas The parabolas we considered so far are “vertical” and have their vertices at the origin. Some parabolas open instead horizontally (to the left or right), and some have vertices not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given in the box. The corresponding computations are more involved, but are similar to the one above, and so are not shown anymore. In all four cases below, we assume that c > 0. The vertex is V (h, k), and it lies between the focus F and the directrix . The focus F is c units away from the vertex V , and the directrix is c units away from the vertex. Recall that, for any point on the parabola, its distance from the focus is the same as its distance from the directrix. (x − h)2 = 4c(y − k) (y − k)2 = 4c(x − h) (x − h)2 = −4c(y − k) (y − k)2 = −4c(x − h) directrix : horizontal directrix : vertical axis of symmetry: x=h, vertical axis of symmetry: y=k, horizontal 23 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Note the followingobservations: • The equations are in terms of x − h and y − k: the vertex coordinates are subtracted from the corresponding variable. Thus, replacing both h and k with 0 would yield the case where the vertex is the origin. For instance, this replacement applied to (x−h)2 = 4c(y −k) (parabola opening upward) would yield x2 = 4cy, the first standard equation we encountered (parabola opening upward, vertex at the origin). • If the x-part is squared, the parabola is “vertical”; if the y-part is squared, the parabola is “horizontal.” In a horizontal parabola, the focus is on the left or right of the vertex, and the directrix is vertical. • If the coefficient of the linear (non-squared) part is positive, the parabola opens upward or to the right; if negative, downward or to the left. Example 1.2.3. Figure 1.27 shows the graph of parabola, with only its focus and vertex indicated. Find its standard equation. What is its directrix and its axis of symmetry? Solution. The vertex is V (5, −4) and the focus is F(3, −4). From these, we deduce the following: h = 5, k = −4, c = 2 (the distance of the focus from the vertex). Since the parabola opens to the left, we use the template (y − k)2 = −4c(x − h). Our equation is (y + 4)2 = −8(x − 5). Its directrix is c = 2 units to the right of V , which is x = 7. Its axis is the horizontal line through V : y = −4. Figure 1.27 24 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY The standard equation(y + 4)2 = −8(x − 5) from the preceding example can be rewritten as y2 + 8x + 8y − 24 = 0, an equation of the parabola in general form. If the equation is given in the general form Ax2 +Cx+Dy +E = 0 (A and C are nonzero) or By2 +Cx+Dy+E = 0 (B and C are nonzero), we can determine the standard form by completing the square in both variables. Example 1.2.4. Determine the vertex, focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry of the parabola with the given equation. Sketch the parabola, and include these points and lines. (1) y2 − 5x + 12y = −16 (2) 5x2 + 30x + 24y = 51 Solution. (1) We complete the square on y, and move x to the other side. y2 + 12y = 5x − 16 y2 + 12y + 36 = 5x − 16 + 36 = 5x + 20 (y + 6)2 = 5(x + 4) The parabola opens to the right. It has vertex V (−4, −6). From 4c = 5, we get c = 5 4 = 1.25. The focus is c = 1.25 units to the right of V : F(−2.75, −6). The (vertical) directrix is c = 1.25 units to the left of V : x = −5.25. The (horizontal) axis is through V : y = −6. 25 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (2) We completethe square on x, and move y to the other side. 5x2 + 30x = −24y + 51 5(x2 + 6x + 9) = −24y + 51 + 5(9) 5(x + 3)2 = −24y + 96 = −24(y − 4) (x + 3)2 = − 24 5 (y − 4) In the last line, we divided by 5 for the squared part not to have any coeffi- cient. The parabola opens downward. It has vertex V (−3, 4). From 4c = 24 5 , we get c = 6 5 = 1.2. The focus is c = 1.2 units below V : F(−3, 2.8). The (horizontal) directrix is c = 1.2 units above V : y = 5.2. The (vertical) axis is through V : x = −3. Example 1.2.5. A parabola has focus F(7, 9) and directrix y = 3. Find its standard equation. Solution. The directrix is horizontal, and the focus is above it. The parabola then opens upward and its standard equation has the form (x − h)2 = 4c(y − k). Since the distance from the focus to the directrix is 2c = 9 − 3 = 6, then c = 3. Thus, the vertex is V (7, 6), the point 3 units below F. The standard equation is then (x − 7)2 = 12(y − 6). 2 1.2.3. Situational Problems Involving Parabolas Let us now solve some situational problems involving parabolas. Example 1.2.6. A satellite dish has a shape called a paraboloid, where each cross-section is a parabola. Since radio signals (parallel to the axis) will bounce 26 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY off the surfaceof the dish to the focus, the receiver should be placed at the focus. How far should the receiver be from the vertex, if the dish is 12 ft across, and 4.5 ft deep at the vertex? Solution. The second figure above shows a cross-section of the satellite dish drawn on a rectangular coordinate system, with the vertex at the origin. From the problem, we deduce that (6, 4.5) is a point on the parabola. We need the distance of the focus from the vertex, i.e., the value of c in x2 = 4cy. x2 = 4cy 62 = 4c(4.5) c = 62 4 · 4.5 = 2 Thus, the receiver should be 2 ft away from the vertex. 2 Example 1.2.7. The cable of a suspension bridge hangs in the shape of a parabola. The towers supporting the cable are 400 ft apart and 150 ft high. If the cable, at its lowest, is 30 ft above the bridge at its midpoint, how high is the cable 50 ft away (horizontally) from either tower? 27 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. Refer tothe figure above, where the parabolic cable is drawn with its vertex on the y-axis 30 ft above the origin. We may write its equation as (x − 0)2 = a(y − 30); since we don’t need the focal distance, we use the simpler variable a in place of 4c. Since the towers are 150 ft high and 400 ft apart, we deduce from the figure that (200, 150) is a point on the parabola. x2 = a(y − 30) 2002 = a(150 − 30) a = 2002 120 = 1000 3 The parabola has equation x2 = 1000 3 (y − 30), or equivalently, y = 0.003x2 + 30. For the two points on the parabola 50 ft away from the towers, x = 150 or x = −150. If x = 150, then y = 0.003(1502 ) + 30 = 97.5. Thus, the cable is 97.5 ft high 50 ft away from either tower. (As expected, we get the same answer from x = −150.) 2 More Solved Examples For Examples 1 and 2, determine the focus and directrix of the parabola with the given equation.

Figure 1.33 7. A parabola has focus F(−11, 8) and directrix x = −17. Find its standard equation. Solution: Since the focus is 6 units to the right of the directrix, the parabola opens to the right with 2c = 6. Then c = 3 and V (−14, 8). Hence, the equation is (y − 8)2 = 12(x + 14). 8. A flashlight is shaped like a paraboloid and the light source is placed at the focus so that the light bounces off parallel to the axis of symmetry; this is done to maximize illumination. A particular flashlight has its light source located 1 cm from the base and is 6 cm deep; see Figure 1.34. What is the width of the flashlight’s opening? Figure 1.34 Solution: Let the base (the vertex) of the flashlight be the point V (0, 0). Then the light source (the focus) is at F(0, 1); so c = 1. Hence, the parabola’s equation is x2 = 4y. To get the width of the opening, we need the x coordinates of the points on the parabola with y coordinate 6. x2 = 4(6) ⇒ x = ±2 √ 6 Therefore, the width of the opening is 2 × 2 √ 6 = 4 √ 6 ≈ 9.8 cm. 30 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 9. An objectthrown from a height of 2 m above the ground follows a parabolic path until the object falls to the ground; see Figure 1.35. If the object reaches a maximum height (measured from the ground) of 7 m after travelling a hor- izontal distance of 4 m, determine the horizontal distance between the object’s initial and final positions. Figure 1.35 Solution: Let V (0, 7) be the parabola’s vertex, which corresponds to the high- est point reached by the object. Then the parabola’s equation is of the form x2 = −4c(y − 7) and the object’s starting point is at (−4, 2). Then (−4)2 = −4c(2 − 7) ⇒ c = 16 20 = 4 5 . Hence, the equation of the parabola is x2 = − 16 5 (y −7). When the object hits the ground, the y coordinate is 0 and x2 = − 16 5 (0 − 7) = 112 5 ⇒ x = ±4 7 5 . Since this point is to the right of the vertex, we choose x = +4 7 5 . Therefore, the total distance travelled is 4 7 5 − (−4) ≈ 8.73 m.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 1.3. Ellipses LearningOutcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) define an ellipse; (2) determine the standard form of equation of an ellipse; (3) graph an ellipse in a rectangular coordinate system; and (4) solve situational problems involving conic sections (ellipses). Lesson Outline (1) Definition of an ellipse (2) Derivation of the standard equation of an ellipse (3) Graphing ellipses (4) Solving situational problems involving ellipses Introduction Unlike circle and parabola, an ellipse is one of the conic sections that most stu- dents have not encountered formally before. Its shape is a bounded curve which looks like a flattened circle. The orbits of the planets in our solar system around the sun happen to be elliptical in shape. Also, just like parabolas, ellipses have reflective properties that have been used in the construction of certain structures. These applications and more will be encountered in this lesson. 1.3.1. Definition and Equation of an Ellipse Consider the points F1(−3, 0) and F2(3, 0), as shown in Figure 1.36. What is the sum of the distances of A(4, 2.4) from F1 and from F2? How about the sum of the distances of B (and C(0, −4)) from F1 and from F2?

    D EPED C O PY Figure 1.36 Figure 1.37 LetF1 and F2 be two distinct points. The set of all points P, whose distances from F1 and from F2 add up to a certain constant, is called an ellipse. The points F1 and F2 are called the foci of the ellipse. Given are two points on the x-axis, F1(−c, 0) and F2(c, 0), the foci, both c units away from their center (0, 0). See Figure 1.37. Let P(x, y) be a point on the ellipse. Let the common sum of the distances be 2a (the coefficient 2 will make computations simpler). Thus, we have PF1 + PF2 = 2a. PF1 = 2a − PF2 (x + c)2 + y2 = 2a − (x − c)2 + y2 x2 + 2cx + c2 + y2 = 4a2 − 4a (x − c)2 + y2 + x2 − 2cx + c2 + y2 a (x − c)2 + y2 = a2 − cx a2 x2 − 2cx + c2 + y2 = a4 − 2a2 cx + c2 x2 (a2 − c2 )x2 + a2 y2 = a4 − a2 c2 = a2 (a2 − c2 ) b2 x2 + a2 y2 = a2 b2 by letting b = √ a2 − c2, so a > b x2 a2 + y2 b2 = 1 When we let b = √ a2 − c2, we assumed a > c. To see why this is true, look at PF1F2 in Figure 1.37. By the Triangle Inequality, PF1 + PF2 > F1F2, which implies 2a > 2c, so a > c. We collect here the features of the graph of an ellipse with standard equation x2 a2 + y2 b2 = 1, where a > b. Let c = √ a2 − b2. 34 All rights reserved.

More Properties of Ellipses The ellipses we have considered so far are “horizontal” and have the origin as their centers. Some ellipses have their foci aligned vertically, and some have centers not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given in the box.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. The midpoint(2, −5) of the vertices is the center of the ellipse, which is horizontal. Each vertex is a = √ 61 units away from the center. From the length of the minor axis, 2b = 12 so b = 6. The standard equation is (x − 2)2 61 + (y + 5)2 36 = 1. Each focus is c = √ a2 − b2 = 5 units away from (2, −5), so their coordinates are (−3, −5) and (7, −5). 2 1.3.3. Situational Problems Involving Ellipses Let us now apply the concept of ellipse to some situational problems. Example 1.3.6. A tunnel has the shape of a semiellipse that is 15 ft high at the center, and 36 ft across at the base. At most how high should a passing truck be, if it is 12 ft wide, for it to be able to fit through the tunnel? Round off your answer to two decimal places. Solution. Refer to the figure above. If we draw the semiellipse on a rectangular coordinate system, with its center at the origin, an equation of the ellipse which contains it, is x2 182 + y2 152 = 1. To maximize its height, the corners of the truck, as shown in the figure, would have to just touch the ellipse. Since the truck is 12 ft wide, let the point (6, n) be the corner of the truck in the first quadrant, where n > 0, is the (maximum) height of the truck. Since this point is on the ellipse, it should fit the equation. Thus, we have 62 182 + n2 152 = 1 n = 10 √ 2 ≈ 14.14 ft 2 40 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 1.3.7. Theorbit of a planet has the shape of an ellipse, and on one of the foci is the star around which it revolves. The planet is closest to the star when it is at one vertex. It is farthest from the star when it is at the other vertex. Suppose the closest and farthest distances of the planet from this star, are 420 million kilometers and 580 million kilometers, respectively. Find the equation of the ellipse, in standard form, with center at the origin and the star at the x-axis. Assume all units are in millions of kilometers. Solution. In the figure above, the orbit is drawn as a horizontal ellipse with center at the origin. From the planet’s distances from the star, at its closest and farthest points, it follows that the major axis is 2a = 420 + 580 = 1000 (million kilometers), so a = 500. If we place the star at the positive x-axis, then it is c = 500 − 420 = 80 units away from the center. Therefore, we get b2 = a2 − c2 = 5002 − 802 = 243600. The equation then is x2 250000 + y2 243600 = 1. The star could have been placed on the negative x-axis, and the answer would still be the same. 2 41 All rights reserved.

Solution: The ellipse is horizontal with center at the midpoint (5, 7) of the covertices. Also, 2a = 12 so a = 6 while b = 1. The equation is (x − 5)2 36 + (y − 7)2 1 = 1. 6. An ellipse has foci (−4 − √ 15, 3) and (−4 + √ 15, 3), and its major axis is 10 units long. Find its standard equation and its vertices. Solution: The ellipse is horizontal with center at the midpoint (−4, 3) of the foci; also c = √ 15. Since the length of the major axis is 10, 2a = 10 and a = 5. Thus b = √ 52 − 15 = √ 10.

    D EPED C O PY gallery is 90feet long and the foci are 50 feet apart, how high is the gallery at its center? Solution: We set up a Cartesian coordinate system by assigning the center of the semiellipse as the origin. The point on the ceiling right above the center is a covertex of the ellipse. Since 2a = 90 and 2c = 50; then b2 = 452 −252 = 1400. The height is given by b = √ 1400 ≈ 37.4 ft. 8. A spheroid (or oblate spheroid) is the surface obtained by rotating an ellipse around its minor axis.

If this bowl is 10 in wide at the opening and √ 10 in deep at the center, how deep does a circular cover with diameter 9 in go into the bowl? Figure 1.41 Solution: We set up a Cartesian coordinate system by assigning the center of the semiellipse as the origin. Then a = 5, b = √ 10, and the equation of the ellipse is x2 25 + y2 10 = 1. We want the y-coordinate of the points on the ellipse that has x = ±4.5. This coordinate is y = − 10 1 − x2 25 ≈ −1.38. Therefore, the cover will go 1.38 inches into the bowl. 44 All rights reserved.

Hyperbolas Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) define a hyperbola; (2) determine the standard form of equation of a hyperbola; (3) graph a hyperbola in a rectangular coordinate system; and (4) solve situational problems involving conic sections (hyperbolas). Lesson Outline (1) Definition of a hyperbola (2) Derivation of the standard equation of a hyperbola (3) Graphing hyperbolas (4) Solving situational problems involving hyperbolas Introduction Just like ellipse, a hyperbola is one of the conic sections that most students have not encountered formally before. Its graph consists of two unbounded branches which extend in opposite directions. It is a misconception that each branch is a parabola. This is not true, as parabolas and hyperbolas have very different features. An application of hyperbolas in basic location and navigation schemes are presented in an example and some exercises. 1.4.1.

    D EPED C O PY Let F1 andF2 be two distinct points. The set of all points P, whose distances from F1 and from F2 differ by a certain constant, is called a hyperbola. The points F1 and F2 are called the foci of the hyperbola. In Figure 1.43, given are two points on the x-axis, F1(−c, 0) and F2(c, 0), the foci, both c units away from their midpoint (0, 0). This midpoint is the center of the hyperbola. Let P(x, y) be a point on the hyperbola, and let the absolute value of the difference of the distances of P from F1 and F2, be 2a (the coefficient 2 will make computations simpler). Thus, |PF1 − PF2| = 2a, and so (x + c)2 + y2 − (x − c)2 + y2 = 2a. Algebraic manipulations allow us to rewrite this into the much simpler x2 a2 − y2 b2 = 1, where b = √ c2 − a2. When we let b = √ c2 − a2, we assumed c > a. To see why this is true, suppose that P is closer to F2, so PF1 − PF2 = 2a. Refer to Figure 1.43. Suppose also that P is not on the x-axis, so PF1F2 is formed. From the triangle inequality, F1F2 + PF2 > PF1. Thus, 2c > PF1 − PF2 = 2a, so c > a. Now we present a derivation. For now, assume P is closer to F2 so PF1 > PF2, and PF1 − PF2 = 2a. PF1 = 2a + PF2 (x + c)2 + y2 = 2a + (x − c)2 + y2 (x + c)2 + y2 2 = 2a + (x − c)2 + y2 2 cx − a2 = a (x − c)2 + y2 (cx − a2 )2 = a (x − c)2 + y2 2 (c2 − a2 )x2 − a2 y2 = a2 (c2 − a2 ) b2 x2 − a2 y2 = a2 b2 by letting b = √ c2 − a2 > 0 x2 a2 − y2 b2 = 1 We collect here the features of the graph of a hyperbola with standard equa- tion x2 a2 − y2 b2 = 1.

Sketch the graph, and include these points and lines, the transverse and conjugate axes, and the auxiliary rectangle. Solution.

More Properties of Hyperbolas The hyperbolas we considered so far are “horizontal” and have the origin as their centers. Some hyperbolas have their foci aligned vertically, and some have centers not at the origin. Their standard equations and properties are given in the box. The derivations are more involved, but are similar to the one above, and so are not shown anymore. In all four cases below, we let c = √ a2 + b2. The foci F1 and F2 are c units away from the center C. The vertices V1 and V2 are a units away from the center. The transverse axis V1V2 has length 2a. The conjugate axis has length 2b and is perpendicular to the transverse axis. The transverse and conjugate axes bisect each other at their intersection point, C. Each branch of a hyperbola gets closer and closer to the asymptotes, in the direction towards which the branch extends. The equations of the asymptotes can be determined by replacing 1 in the standard equation by 0. The asymptotes can be drawn as the extended diagonals of the auxiliary rectangle determined by the transverse and conjugate axes. Recall that, 50 All rights reserved.

To determine the asymptotes, we write (x+4)2 5 − (y−3)2 4 = 0 which is equivalent to y − 3 = ± 2√ 5 (x + 4), and solve for y. center: C(−4, 3) foci: F1(−7, 3) and F2(−1, 3) vertices: V1(−4 − √ 5, 3) ≈ (−6.2, 3) and V2(−4 + √ 5, 3) ≈ (−1.8, 3) asymptotes: y = 2√ 5 x + 8√ 5 + 3 and y = − 2√ 5 x − 8√ 5 + 3 The conjugate axis drawn has its endpoints b = 2 units above and below the center.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. The midpoint(2, −3) of the foci is the center of the hyperbola. Each focus is c = 7 units away from the center. From the given difference, 2a = 10 so a = 5. Also, b2 = c2 − a2 = 24. The hyperbola is horizontal (because the foci are horizontally aligned), so the equation is (x − 2)2 25 − (y + 3)2 24 = 1. 2 Example 1.4.5. A hyperbola has vertices (−4, −5) and (−4, 9), and one of its foci is (−4, 2 − √ 65). Find its standard equation. Solution. The midpoint (−4, 2) of the vertices is the center of the hyperbola, which is vertical (because the vertices are vertically aligned). Each vertex is a = 7 units away from the center. The given focus is c = √ 65 units away from the center. Thus, b2 = c2 − a2 = 16, and the standard equation is (y − 2)2 49 − (x + 4)2 16 = 1. 2 1.4.3. Situational Problems Involving Hyperbolas Let us now give an example on an application of hyperbolas. Example 1.4.6. An explosion was heard by two stations 1200 m apart, located at F1(−600, 0) and F2(600, 0). If the explosion was heard in F1 two seconds before it was heard in F2, identify the possible locations of the explosion. Use 340 m/s as the speed of sound. Solution. Using the given speed of sound, we can deduce that the sound traveled 340(2) = 680 m farther in reaching F2 than in reaching F1. This is then the difference of the distances of the explosion from the two stations. Thus, the explosion is on a hyperbola with foci are F1 and F2, on the branch closer to F1. 54 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY We have c= 600 and 2a = 680, so a = 340 and b2 = c2 − a2 = 244400.

Find the standard equation of the hyperbola. Solution: The hyperbola is horizontal with center at the midpoint (−7, −3) of the foci. Also, 2a = 14 so a = 7 while c = 10. Then b2 = 102 − 72 = 51.

Using the auxiliary rectangle’s dimen- sions, we see that the length of the transverse axis is 2a = 24 while the length of the conjugate axis is 2b = 34. Thus, a = 12 and b = 17.

The equation is (y + 3)2 144 − (x + 7)2 289 = 1. 7. Two LORAN (long range navigation) stations A and B are situated along a straight shore, where A is 200 miles west of B. These stations transmit radio signals at a speed 186 miles per millisecond. The captain of a ship travelling on the open sea intends to enter a harbor that is located 40 miles east of station A. Due to the its location, the harbor experiences a time difference in receiving the signals from both stations. The captain navigates the ship into the harbor by following a path where the ship experiences the same time difference as the harbor. (a) What time difference between station signals should the captain be look- ing for in order the ship to make a successful entry into the harbor? (b) If the desired time difference is achieved, determine the location of the ship if it is 75 miles offshore. Solution: (a) Let H represent the harbor on the shoreline. Note that BH−AH = 160− 40 = 120. The time difference on the harbor is given by 120÷186 ≈ 0.645 milliseconds. This is the time difference needed to be maintained in order to for the ship to enter the harbor. (b) Situate the stations A and B on the Cartesian plane so that A (−100, 0) and B (100, 0). Let P represent the ship on the sea, which has coordinates (h, 75). Since PB − PA = 120, then it should follow that h < 0. More- over, P should lie on the left branch of the hyperbola whose equation is given by x2 a2 − y2 b2 = 1 where 2a = 120 ⇒ a = 60, and b = √ c2 − a2 = √ 1002 − 602 = 80. Therefore, h2 602 − 752 802 = 1 h = − 1 + 752 802 602 ≈ −82.24 This means that the ship is around 17.76 miles to the east of station A. 58 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 1.5. MoreProblems on Conic Sections Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) recognize the equation and important characteristics of the different types of conic sections; and (2) solve situational problems involving conic sections. Lesson Outline (1) Conic sections with associated equations in general form (2) Problems involving characteristics of various conic sections (3) Solving situational problems involving conic sections Introduction In this lesson, we will identify the conic section from a given equation. We will analyze the properties of the identified conic section. We will also look at problems that use the properties of the different conic sections. This will allow us to synthesize what has been covered so far. 1.5.1. Identifying the Conic Section by Inspection The equation of a circle may be written in standard form Ax2 + Ay2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0, that is, the coefficients of x2 and y2 are the same. However, it does not follow that if the coefficients of x2 and y2 are the same, the graph is a circle. General Equation Standard Equation graph (A) 2x2 + 2y2 − 2x + 6y + 5 = 0 x − 1 2 2 + y + 3 2 2 = 0 point (B) x2 + y2 − 6x − 8y + 50 = 0 (x − 3)2 + (y − 4)2 = −25 empty set For a circle with equation (x − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2 , we have r2 > 0. This is not the case for the standard equations of (A) and (B). In (A), because the sum of two squares can only be 0 if and only if each square is 0, it follows that x − 1 2 = 0 and y + 3 2 = 0. The graph is thus the single point 1 2 , −3 2 . 60 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY In (B), noreal values of x and y can make the nonnegative left side equal to the negative right side. The graph is then the empty set. Let us recall the general form of the equations of the other conic sections. We may write the equations of conic sections we discussed in the general form Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0. Some terms may vanish, depending on the kind of conic section. (1) Circle: both x2 and y2 appear, and their coefficients are the same Ax2 + Ay2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0 Example: 18x2 + 18y2 − 24x + 48y − 5 = 0 Degenerate cases: a point, and the empty set (2) Parabola: exactly one of x2 or y2 appears Ax2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0 (D = 0, opens upward or downward) By2 + Cx + Dy + E = 0 (C = 0, opens to the right or left) Examples: 3x2 − 12x + 2y + 26 = 0 (opens downward) − 2y2 + 3x + 12y − 15 = 0 (opens to the right) (3) Ellipse: both x2 and y2 appear, and their coefficients A and B have the same sign and are unequal Examples: 2x2 + 5y2 + 8x − 10y − 7 = 0 (horizontal major axis) 4x2 + y2 − 16x − 6y + 21 = 0 (vertical major axis) If A = B, we will classify the conic as a circle, instead of an ellipse. Degenerate cases: a point, and the empty set (4) Hyperbola: both x2 and y2 appear, and their coefficients A and B have dif- ferent signs Examples: 5x2 − 3y2 − 20x − 18y − 22 = 0 (horizontal transverse axis) − 4x2 + y2 + 24x + 4y − 36 = 0 (vertical transverse axis) Degenerate case: two intersecting lines The following examples will show the possible degenerate conic (a point, two intersecting lines, or the empty set) as the graph of an equation following a similar pattern as the non-degenerate cases. (1) 4x2 + 9y2 − 16x + 18y + 25 = 0 =⇒ (x − 2)2 32 + (y + 1)2 22 = 0 =⇒ one point: (2, −1) 61 All rights reserved.

Problems Involving Different Conic Sections The following examples require us to use the properties of different conic sections at the same time. Example 1.5.1. A circle has center at the focus of the parabola y2 +16x+4y = 44, and is tangent to the directrix of this parabola. Find its standard equation. Solution. The standard equation of the parabola is (y + 2)2 = −16(x − 3). Its vertex is V (3, −2). Since 4c = 16 or c = 4, its focus is F(−1, −2) and its directrix is x = 7. The circle has center at (−1, −2) and radius 8, which is the distance from F to the directrix. Thus, the equation of the circle is (x + 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 64. 2 Example 1.5.2. The vertices and foci of 5x2 − 4y2 + 50x + 16y + 29 = 0 are, respectively, the foci and vertices of an ellipse. Find the standard equation of this ellipse. Solution. We first write the equation of the hyperbola in standard form: (x + 5)2 16 − (y − 2)2 20 = 1. For this hyperbola, using the notations ah, bh, and ch to refer to a, b, and c of the standard equation of the hyperbola, respectively, we have ah = 4, bh = 2 √ 5, ch = a2 h + b2 h = 6, so we have the following points: 62 All rights reserved.

Completing the squares, we get 4x2 − 8x − 49y2 + 196y − 388 = 0 4(x2 − 2x) − 49(y2 − 4y) = 388 4(x2 − 2x + 1) − 49(y2 − 4y + 4) = 388 + 4(1) − 49(4) (x − 1)2 49 − (y − 2)2 4 = 1.

(c) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. (d) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 are not equal but have the same sign, the graph is an ellipse, a point, or the empty set.

Since the right-hand side is 0, the graph is a single point (the point is (−5, 4)). (f) Since x2 and y2 have equal coefficients, the graph is a circle, a point, or the empty set.

Since the right hand side is 0, the graph is a pair of intersecting lines; these are y + 6 = ± 5 7 (x − 6). (h) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. 2. The center of a circle is the vertex of the parabola y2 + 24x − 12y + 132 = 0. If the circle intersects the parabola’s directrix at a point where y = 11, find the equation of the circle. Solution: y2 − 12y = −24x − 132 y2 − 12y + 36 = −24x − 132 + 36 (y − 6)2 = −24x − 96 (y − 6)2 = −24(x + 4) The vertex of the parabola is (−4, 6) and its directrix is x = 2. Thus, the circle has center (−4, 6) and contains the point (2, 11). Then its radius is (−4 − 2)2 + (6 − 11)2 = √ 61. Therefore, the equation of the circle is (x + 4)2 + (y − 6)2 = 61. 3. The vertices of the hyperbola with equation 9x2 −72x−16y2 −128y −256 = 0 are the foci of an ellipse that contains the point (8, −10). Find the standard equation of the ellipse. Solution: 9x2 − 72x − 16y2 − 128y − 256 = 0 9(x2 − 8x) − 16(y2 + 8y) = 256 9(x2 − 8x + 16) − 16(y2 + 8y + 16) = 256 + 9(16) − 16(16) (x − 4)2 16 − (y + 4)2 9 = 1 The vertices of the hyperbola are (0, −4) and (8, −4). Since these are the foci of the ellipse, the ellipse is horizontal with center C(4, −4); also, the focal distance of the ellipse is c = 4.

    D EPED C O PY methodology to systemswith other types of equations. We focus on quadratic equations for two reasons: to include a graphical representation of the solution and to ensure that either a solution is obtained or it is determined that there is no solution. The latter is possible because of the quadratic formula. 1.6.1. Review of Techniques in Solving Systems of Linear Equations Recall the methods we used to solve systems of linear equations.There were three methods used: substitution, elimination, and graphical. Example 1.6.1. Use the substitution method to solve the system, and sketch the graphs in one Cartesian plane showing the point of intersection.    4x + y = 6 5x + 3y = 4 Solution. Isolate the variable y in the first equation, and then substitute into the second equation. 4x + y = 6 =⇒ y = 6 − 4x 5x + 3y = 4 5x + 3(6 − 4x) = 4 −7x + 18 = 4 x = 2 y = 6 − 4(2) = −2 Example 1.6.2. Use the elimination method to solve the system, and sketch the graphs in one Cartesian plane showing the point of intersection.    2x + 7 = 3y 4x + 7y = 12 Solution. We eliminate first the variable x. Rewrite the first equation wherein only the constant term is on the right-hand side of the equation, then multiply it by −2, and then add the resulting equation to the second equation. 68 All rights reserved.

Solving Systems of Equations Using Substitution We begin our extension with a system involving one linear equation and one quadratic equation. In this case, it is always possible to use substitution by solving the linear equation for one of the variables. Example 1.6.3. Solve the following system, and sketch the graphs in one Carte- sian plane.    x − y + 2 = 0 y − 1 = x2 Solution. We solve for y in terms of x in the first equation, and substitute this expression to the second equation. x − y + 2 = 0 =⇒ y = x + 2 y − 1 = x2 (x + 2) − 1 = x2 x2 − x − 1 = 0 x = 1 ± √ 5 2 x = 1 + √ 5 2 =⇒ y = 1 + √ 5 2 + 2 = 5 + √ 5 2 x = 1 − √ 5 2 =⇒ y = 1 − √ 5 2 + 2 = 5 − √ 5 2 Solutions: 1 + √ 5 2 , 5 + √ 5 2 and 1 − √ 5 2 , 5 − √ 5 2 69 All rights reserved.

Solving Systems of Equations Using Elimination Elimination method is also useful in systems of nonlinear equations. Sometimes, some systems need both techniques (substitution and elimination) to solve them. Example 1.6.4. Solve the following system:    y2 − 4x − 6y = 11 4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2 . Solution 1. We expand the second equation, and eliminate the variable x by adding the equations. 4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2 =⇒ 12 − 4x = y2 − 6y + 9 =⇒ y2 + 4x − 6y = 3    y2 − 4x − 6y = 11 y2 + 4x − 6y = 3 Adding these equations, we get 2y2 −12y = 14 =⇒ y2 −6y−7 = 0 =⇒ (y−7)(y+1) = 0 =⇒ y = 7 or y = −1. Solving for x in the second equation, we have x = 3 − (y − 3)2 4 . 70 All rights reserved.

Usually, the general form is more convenient to use in solving systems of equations. However, sometimes the solution can be simplified by writing the equations in standard form. Moreover, the standard form is best for graphing. Let us again solve the previous example in a different way. Solution 2. By completing the square, we can change the first equation into stan- dard form: y2 − 4x − 6y = 11 =⇒ 4(x + 5) = (y − 3)2 .    4(x + 5) = (y − 3)2 4(3 − x) = (y − 3)2 Using substitution or the transitive property of equality, we get 4(x + 5) = 4(3 − x) =⇒ x = −1. Substituting this value of x into the second equation, we have 4[3 − (−1)] = (y − 3)2 =⇒ 16 = (y − 3)2 =⇒ y = 7 or y = −1.

We can substitute x = 8 − 2y to either the first equation or the second equation. For convenience, we choose the second equation. x2 + y2 + 2y − 24 = 0 (8 − 2y)2 + y2 + 2y − 24 = 0 y2 − 6y + 8 = 0 y = 2 or y = 4 y = 2 =⇒ x = 8 − 2(2) = 4 and y = 4 =⇒ x = 8 − 2(4) = 0 The solutions are (4, 2) and (0, 4).

    D EPED C O PY 1.6.4. Applications ofSystems of Nonlinear Equations Let us apply systems of equations to a problem involving modern-day television sets. Example 1.6.6. The screen size of television sets is given in inches. This indicates the length of the diagonal. Screens of the same size can come in different shapes. Wide-screen TV’s usually have screens with aspect ratio 16 : 9, indicating the ratio of the width to the height. Older TV models often have aspect ratio 4 : 3. A 40-inch LED TV has screen aspect ratio 16 : 9. Find the length and the width of the screen. Solution. Let w represent the width and h the height of the screen. Then, by Pythagorean Theorem, we have the system    w2 + h2 = 402 =⇒ w2 + h2 = 1600 w h = 16 9 =⇒ h = 9w 16 w2 + h2 = 1600 =⇒ w2 + 9w 16 2 = 1600 337w2 256 = 1600 w = 409 600 337 ≈ 34.86 h = 19x 16 ≈ 19(34.86) 16 = 19.61 Therefore, a 40-inch TV with aspect ratio 16 : 9 is about 35.86 inches wide and 19.61 inches high. 2 More Solved Examples Solve the system and graph the curves. 1.    x2 − y2 = 21 x + y = 7 Solution: We can write y in terms of x using the second equation as y = 7−x. 73 All rights reserved.

Solution: If x and y are the two numbers, then we have the resulting system x − y = 12 x2 + y2 = 144, where the first equation yields x = y + 12.

Reviewof Sequences and Series Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) illustrate a series; and (2) differentiate a series from a sequence. Lesson Outline (1) Sequences and series (2) Different types of sequences and series (Fibonacci sequence, arithmetic and geometric sequence and series, and harmonic series) (3) Difference between sequence and series Introduction In this lesson, we will review the definitions and different types of sequences and series. Lesson Proper Recall the following definitions: A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers or the set {1, 2, 3, . . . , n}. A series represents the sum of the terms of a sequence. If a sequence is finite, we will refer to the sum of the terms of the sequence as the series associated with the sequence. If the sequence has infinitely many terms, the sum is defined more precisely in calculus. A sequence is a list of numbers (separated by commas), while a series is a sum of numbers (separated by “+” or “−” sign). As an illustration, 1, −1 2 , 1 3 , −1 4 is a sequence, and 1 − 1 2 + 1 3 − 1 4 = 7 12 is its associated series. The sequence with nth term an is usually denoted by {an}, and the associated series is given by S = a1 + a2 + a3 + · · · + an. 81 All rights reserved.

It terms are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, . . .. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained by adding a constant (called the common difference) to the preceding term. If the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is an and the common difference is d, then an = a1 + (n − 1)d. The associated arithmetic series with n terms is given by Sn = n(a1 + an) 2 = n[2a1 + (n − 1)d] 2 . 82 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY A geometric sequenceis a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained by multiplying the preceding term by a constant (called the common ratio). If the nth term of a geometric sequence is an and the common ratio is r, then an = a1rn−1 . The associated geometric series with n terms is given by Sn =    na1 if r = 1 a1(1 − rn ) (1 − r) if r = 1. The proof of this sum formula is an example in Lesson 2.3.

Solution: a24 = a1 + 24d = 35 and a30 = a1 + 29d = 5 Eliminating a1 by subtraction, 5d = −30, or d = −6 This implies that a1 = 179, and the first three terms are 179, 173, 167. 83 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 3. Find thesum of all positive three-digit odd integers. Solution: Find sn if a1 = 101 = 1 + 50(2), an = 999 = 1 + 499(2). There are 450 terms from a1 to an, hence n = 450. sn = 450(101 + 999) 2 = 247 500 4. The seventh term of a geometric sequence is −6 and the tenth term is 162. Find the fifth term. Solution: a7 = a1r6 = −6 and a10 = a1r9 = 162. Eliminating a1 by division: a10 a7 = r3 = 162 −6 = −27. Thus r = −3 Since a5r2 = a7, a5 = −6 9 = − 2 3 . 5. Insert three numbers (called geometric means) between 6 and 32/27, so that the five numbers form a geometric sequence. Solution: If a1 = 6 and there are three terms between a1 and 32/27, then a5 = 32/27. a5 = 6(r)4 = 32 27 ⇒ r4 = 16 81 ⇒ r = ± 2 3 One possible set of three numbers is 4, 8/3, 16/9, the other is −4, 8/3, −16/9. 6. A ball dropped from the top of a building 180 m high always rebounds three- fourths the distance it has fallen. How far (up and down) will the ball have traveled when it hits the ground for the 6th time? Solution: a1 = 180, r = 3/4, n = 6 s6 = 180 1 − 3 4 6 1 − 3 4 The ball traveled 2s6 − 180 ≈ 1003.71 meters. 7. The Cantor set is formed as follows. Divide a segment of one unit into three equal parts. Remove the middle one-third of the segment. From each of the two remaining segments, remove the middle third. From each of the remaining segments, remove the middle third. This process is continued indefinitely. Find the total length of the segments removed. Solution: Let an represent the total length removed in the nth iteration. Hence a1 = 1/3, a2 = 2/9, a3 = 4/27, and so on. This means r = 2 3 . The sum to infinity is s = 1 3 1 − 2 3 = 1. The total length of the segments removed is 1 unit. 84 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 8. The 7thterm of an arithmetic sequence is 25. Its first, third, and 21st term form a geometric sequence. Find the first term and the common difference of the sequence. Solution: a7 = a1 + 6d = 25 ⇒ a1 = 25 − 6d a3 a1 = a21 a3 , or a1a21 = a2 3. (25 − 6d) (25 − 6d + 20d) = (25 − 6d + 2d)2 d = 0 and an = 25 for all n, or d = 4 and a1 = 1. 9. Let {an} be an arithmetic sequence and {bn} an arithmetic sequence of positive integers. Prove that the sequence with nth term abn is arithmetic. Solution: Let the common difference of {an} be d and of {bn} be c. abn+1 − abn = [a1 + (bn+1 − 1) d] − [a1 + (bn − 1) d] = bn+1 − bn = c This proves that the difference between any two consecutive terms of {abn } is a constant independent of n. 10. Let {an} be a geometric sequence. Prove that {a3 n} is a geometric sequence. Solution: Let r be the common ratio of {an}. a3 n = (a1rn−1 ) 3 = a3 1 (r3 ) n−1 . Thus {a3 n} is a geometric sequence with first term a3 1 and common ratio r3 . 11. If {an} is a sequence such that its first three terms form both an arithmetic and a geometric sequence, what can be concluded about {an}? Solution: There is a real number r such that a2 = a1r and a3 = a1r2 . Since a1, a2 and a3 form an arithmetic sequence, then a2 − a1 = a3 − a2, or a3 − 2a2 + a1 = 0. a3 − 2a2 + a1 = a1r2 − 2a1r + a1 = a1 (r − 1)2 = 0 ⇒ a1 = 0 or r = 1. If a1 = 0, then a1 = a2 = a3 = 0. If r = 1, then a1 = a2 = a3. In all cases, a1 = a2 = a3. Supplementary Problems 2.1 1. Find the 5th term of the arithmetic sequence whose 3rd term is 35 and whose 10th term is 77. 2.

    D EPED C O PY (2) Evaluate sumswritten in sigma notation (3) Properties of sigma notation (4) Calculating sums using the properties of sigma notation Introduction The sigma notation is a shorthand for writing sums. In this lesson, we will see the power of this notation in computing sums of numbers as well as algebraic expressions. 2.2.1. Writing and Evaluating Sums in Sigma Notation Mathematicians use the sigma notation to denote a sum. The uppercase Greek letter Σ (sigma) is used to indicate a “sum.” The notation consists of several components or parts. Let f(i) be an expression involving an integer i. The expression f(m) + f(m + 1) + f(m + 2) + · · · + f(n) can be compactly written in sigma notation, and we write it as n i=m f(i), which is read “the summation of f(i) from i = m to n.” Here, m and n are integers with m ≤ n, f(i) is a term (or summand) of the summation, and the letter i is the index, m the lower bound, and n the upper bound. Example 2.2.1. Expand each summation, and simplify if possible. (1) 4 i=2 (2i + 3) (2) 5 i=0 2i (3) n i=1 ai (4) 6 n=1 √ n n + 1 Solution. We apply the definition of sigma notation. (1) 4 i=2 (2i + 3) = [2(2) + 3] + [2(3) + 3] + [2(4) + 3] = 27 87 All rights reserved.

For ex- ample, the last item in the preceding example can also be expressed in sigma notation as follows: 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 + 1 8 + 1 16 + 1 32 + 1 64 + 1 128 = 8 k=1 1 2k−1 .

    D EPED C O PY 2.2.2. Properties ofSigma Notation We start with finding a formula for the sum of n i=1 i = 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n in terms of n. The sum can be evaluated in different ways. One informal but simple approach is pictorial. n i=1 i = 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n = n(n + 1) 2 Another way is to use the formula for an arithmetic series with a1 = 1 and an = n: S = n(a1 + an) 2 = n(n + 1) 2 . We now derive some useful summation facts. They are based on the axioms of arithmetic addition and multiplication. n i=m cf(i) = c n i=m f(i), c any real number. Proof. n i=m cf(i) = cf(m) + cf(m + 1) + cf(m + 2) + · · · + cf(n) 89 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Introduction We have derivedand used formulas for the terms of arithmetic and geometric sequences and series. These formulas and many other theorems involving positive integers can be proven with the use of a technique called mathematical induction. 2.3.1. Proving Summation Identities The Principle of Mathematical Induction Let P(n) be a property or statement about an integer n. Suppose that the following conditions can be proven: (1) P(n0) is true (that is, the statement is true when n = n0). (2) If P(k) is true for some integer k ≥ n0, then P(k + 1) is true (that is, if the statement is true for n = k, then it is also true for n = k + 1). Then the statement P(n) is true for all integers n ≥ n0. The Principle of Mathematical Induction is often compared to climbing an infinite staircase. First, you need to be able to climb up to the first step. Second, if you are on any step (n = k), you must be able to climb up to the next step (n = k + 1). If you can do these two things, then you will be able to climb up the infinite staircase. Part 1 Part 2 Another analogy of the Principle of Mathematical Induction that is used is toppling an infinite line of standing dominoes. You need to give the first domino a push so that it falls down. Also, the dominoes must be arranged so that if the kth domino falls down, the next domino will also fall down. These two conditions will ensure that the entire line of dominoes will fall down. 97 All rights reserved.

Let us now take a look at some examples on the use of mathematical induction in proving summation identities. Example 2.3.1. Using mathematical induction, prove that 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + n = n(n + 1) 2 for all positive integers n. Solution. We need to establish the two conditions stated in the Principle of Math- ematical Induction. Part 1. Prove that the identity is true for n = 1. The left-hand side of the equation consists of one term equal to 1. The right- hand side becomes 1(1 + 1) 2 = 2 2 = 1. Hence, the formula is true for n = 1. 98 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Part 2. Assumethat the formula is true for n = k ≥ 1: 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k = k(k + 1) 2 . We want to show that the formula is true for n = k + 1; that is, 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k + (k + 1) = (k + 1)(k + 1 + 1) 2 . Using the formula for n = k and adding k + 1 to both sides of the equation, we get 1 + 2 + 3 + · · · + k + (k + 1) = k(k + 1) 2 + (k + 1) = k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1) 2 = (k + 1)(k + 2) 2 = (k + 1) [(k + 1) + 1] 2 We have proven the two conditions required by the Principle of Mathematical Induction. Therefore, the formula is true for all positive integers n. 2 Example 2.3.2. Use mathematical induction to prove the formula for the sum of a geometric series with n terms: Sn = a1 (1 − rn ) 1 − r , r = 1. Solution. Let an be the nth term of a geometric series. From Lesson 2.1, we know that an = a1rn−1 . Part 1. Prove that the formula is true for n = 1. a1(1 − r1 ) 1 − r = a1 = S1 The formula is true for n = 1. Part 2. Assume that the formula is true for n = k ≥ 1: Sk = a1(1 − rk ) 1 − r . We want to prove that it is also true for n = k + 1; that is, Sk+1 = a1(1 − rk+1 ) 1 − r . 99 All rights reserved.

Proving Divisibility Statements We now prove some divisibility statements using mathematical induction. Example 2.3.4. Use mathematical induction to prove that, for every positive integer n, 7n − 1 is divisible by 6. Solution.

Part 2 Assume: 7k − 1 is divisible by 6. To show: 7k+1 − 1 is divisible by 6. 7k+1 − 1 = 7 · 7k − 1 = 6 · 7k + 7k − 1 = 6 · 7k + (7k − 1) By definition of divisibility, 6 · 7k is divisible by 6. Also, by the hypothesis (assumption), 7k − 1 is divisible by 6. Hence, their sum (which is equal to 7k+1 − 1) is also divisible by 6. 101 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Therefore, by thePrinciple of Math Induction, 7n − 1 is divisible by 6 for all positive integers n. 2 Note that 70 − 1 = 1 − 1 = 0 = 6 · 0 is also divisible by 6. Hence, a stronger and more precise result in the preceding example is: 7n − 1 is divisible by 6 for every nonnegative integer n. It does not make sense to substitute negative values of n since this will result in non-integer values for 7n − 1. Example 2.3.5. Use mathematical induction to prove that, for every nonnega- tive integer n, n3 − n + 3 is divisible by 3. Solution. We again establish the two conditions in the Principle of Mathematical Induction. Part 1 Note that claim of the statement is that it is true for every nonnegative integer n. This means that Part 1 should prove that the statement is true for n = 0. 03 − 0 + 3 = 3 = 3(1) 03 − 0 + 3 is divisible by 3. Part 2. We assume that k3 − k + 3 is divisible by 3. By definition of divisibility, we can write k3 − k + 3 = 3a for some integer a. To show: (k + 1)3 − (k + 1) + 3 is divisible by 3. (k + 1)3 − (k + 1) + 3 = k3 + 3k2 + 2k + 3 = (k3 − k + 3) + 3k2 + 3k = 3a + 3k2 + 3k = 3(a + k2 + k) Since a+k2 +k is also an integer, by definition of divisibility, (k+1)3 −(k+1)+3 is divisible by 3. Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, n3 − n + 3 is divisible by 3 for all positive integers n. 2 2.3.3. Proving Inequalities Finally, we now apply the Principle of Mathematical Induction in proving some inequalities involving integers. Example 2.3.6.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. Just likethe previous example, we establish the two conditions in the Principle of Mathematical Induction. Part 1 23 = 8 > 6 = 2(3) This confirms that 23 > 2(3). Part 2 Assume: 2k > 2k, where k is an integer with k ≥ 3 To show: 2k+1 > 2(k + 1) = 2k + 2 We compare the components of the assumption and the inequality we need to prove. On the left-hand side, the expression is doubled. On the right-hand side, the expression is increased by 2. We choose which operation we want to apply to both sides of the assumed inequality. Alternative 1. We double both sides. Since 2k > 2k, by the multiplication property of inequality, we have 2 · 2k > 2 · 2k. 2k+1 > 2(2k) = 2k + 2k > 2k + 2 if k ≥ 3. Hence, 2k+1 > 2(k + 1). Alternative 2. We increase both sides by 2. Since 2k > 2k, by the addition property of inequality, we have 2k +2 > 2k+2. 2(k + 1) = 2k + 2 < 2k + 2 < 2k + 2k if k ≥ 3. The right-most expression above, 2k + 2k , is equal to 2 2k = 2k+1 . Hence, 2(k + 1) < 2k+1 . Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, 2n > 2n for every integer n ≥ 3. 2 We test the above inequality for integers less than 3. 20 = 1 > 0 = 2(0) True 21 = 2 = 2(1) False 22 = 4 = 2(2) False The inequality is not always true for nonnegative integers less than 3. This illustrates the necessity of Part 1 of the proof to establish the result. However, the result above can be modified to: 2n ≥ 2n for all nonnegative integers n. Before we discuss the next example, we review the factorial notation. Recall 103 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY that 0! =1 and, for every positive integer n, n! = 1 · 2 · 3 · · · n. The factorial also satisfies the property that (n + 1)! = (n + 1) · n!. Example 2.3.7. Use mathematical induction to prove that 3n < (n + 2)! for every positive integer n. Can you refine or improve the result? Solution. We proceed with the usual two-part proof. Part 1 31 = 3 < 6 = 3! = (1 + 2)! =⇒ 31 < (1 + 2)! Thus, the desired inequality is true for n = 1. Part 2 Assume: 3k < (k + 2)! To show: 3k+1 < (k + 3)! Given that 3k < (k + 2)!, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 and obtain 3 3k < 3 [(k + 2)!] . This implies that 3 3k < 3 [(k + 2)!] < (k + 3) [(k + 2)!] , since k > 0, and so 3k+1 < (k + 3)!. Therefore, by the Principle of Math Induction, we conclude that 3n < (n+2)! for every positive integer n. The left-hand side of the inequality is defined for any integer n. The right- hand side makes sense only if n + 2 ≥ 0, or n ≥ −2. When n = −2: 3−2 = 1 9 < 1 = 0! = (−2 + 2)! When n = −1: 3−1 = 1 3 < 1 = 1! = (−1 + 2)! When n = 0: 30 = 1 < 2 = 2! = (0 + 2)! Therefore, 3n < (n + 2)! for any integer n ≥ −2. 2 104 All rights reserved.

The first, which uses Pascal’s Triangle, is applicable if n is not too big, and if we want to determine all the terms in the expansion. The second method gives a general formula for the expansion of (a + b)n for any positive integer n. This formula is useful especially when n is large because it avoids the process of going through all the coefficients for lower values of n obtained through Pascal’s Triangle. 2.4.1. Pascal’s Triangle and the Concept of Combination Consider the following powers of a + b: (a + b)1 = a + b (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2 b + 3ab2 + b3 (a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3 b + 6a2 b2 + 4ab3 + b4 (a + b)5 = a5 + 5a4 b + 10a3 b2 + 10a2 b3 + 5ab4 + b5 We now list down the coefficients of each expansion in a triangular array as follows: n = 1 : 1 1 n = 2 : 1 2 1 n = 3 : 1 3 3 1 n = 4 : 1 4 6 4 1 n = 5 : 1 5 10 10 5 1 109 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY The preceding triangulararray of numbers is part of what is called the Pas- cal’s Triangle, named after the French mathematician, Blaise Pascal (1623-1662). Some properties of the Triangle are the following: (1) Each row begins and ends with 1. (2) Each row has n + 1 numbers. (3) The second and second to the last number of each row correspond to the row number. (4) There is symmetry of the numbers in each row. (5) The number of entries in a row is one more than the row number (or one more than the number of entries in the preceding row). (6) Every middle number after first row is the sum of the two numbers above it. It is the last statement which is useful in constructing the succeeding rows of the triangle. Example 2.4.1. Use Pascal’s Triangle to expand the expression (2x − 3y)5 . Solution. We use the coefficients in the fifth row of the Pascal’s Triangle. (2x − 3y)5 = (2x)5 + 5(2x)4 (−3y) + 10(2x)3 (−3y)2 + 10(2x)2 (−3y)3 + 5(2x)(−3y)4 + (−3y)5 = 32x5 − 240x4 y + 720x3 y2 − 1080x2 y3 + 810xy4 − 243y5 2 Example 2.4.2.

    D EPED C O PY We observe that,for each n, the expansion of (a + b)n starts with an and the exponent of a in the succeeding terms decreases by 1, while the exponent of b increases by 1. This observation will be shown to be true in general. Let us review the concept of combination. Recall that C(n, k) or n k counts the number of ways of choosing k objects from a set of n objects. It is also useful to know some properties of C(n, k): (1) C(n, 0) = C(n, n) = 1, (2) C(n, 1) = C(n, n − 1) = n, and (3) C(n, k) = C(n, n − k). These properties can explain some of the observations we made on the num- bers in the Pascal’s Triangle. Also recall the general formula for the number of combinations of n objects taken k at a time: C(n, k) = n k = n! k!(n − k)! , where 0! = 1 and, for every positive integer n, n! = 1 · 2 · 3 · · · n. Example 2.4.3. Compute 5 3 and 8 5 . Solution. 5 3 = 5! (5 − 3)!3! = 5! 2!3! = 10 8 5 = 8! (8 − 5)!5! = 10! 3!5! = 56 2 You may observe that the value of 5 3 and the fourth coefficient in the fifth row of Pascal’s Triangle are the same. In the same manner, 8 5 is equal to the sixth coefficient in the expansion of (a + b)8 (see Example 2.4.2). These observed equalities are not coincidental, and they are, in fact, the essence embodied in the Binomial Theorem, as you will see in the succeeding sessions. 2.4.2. The Binomial Theorem As the power n gets larger, the more laborious it would be to use Pascal’s Triangle (and impractical to use long multiplication) to expand (a + b)n . For example, using Pascal’s Triangle, we need to compute row by row up to the thirtieth row 111 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY to know thecoefficients of (a + b)30 . It is, therefore, delightful to know that it is possible to compute the terms of a binomial expansion of degree n without going through the expansion of all the powers less than n. We now explain how the concept of combination is used in the expansion of (a + b)n . (a + b)n = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b) · · · (a + b) n factors When the distributive law is applied, the expansion of (a + b)n consists of terms of the form am bi , where 0 ≤ m, i ≤ n. This term is obtained by choosing a for m of the factors and b for the rest of the factors. Hence, m + i = n, or m = n − i. This means that the number of times the term an−i bi will appear in the expansion of (a + b)n equals the number of ways of choosing (n − i) or i factors from the n factors, which is exactly C(n, i). Therefore, we have (a + b)n = n i=0 n i an−i bi . To explain the reasoning above, consider the case n = 3. (a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b) = aaa + aab + aba + abb + baa + bab + bba + bbb = a3 + 3a2 b + 3ab2 + b3 That is, each term in the expansion is obtained by choosing either a or b in each factor. The term a3 is obtained when a is chosen each time, while a2 b is obtained when a is selected 2 times, or equivalently, b is selected exactly once. We will give another proof of this result using mathematical induction. But first, we need to prove a result about combinations. Pascal’s Identity If n and k are positive integers with k ≤ n, then n + 1 k = n k + n k − 1 . Proof. The result follows from the combination formula. n k + n k − 1 = n! k!(n − k)! + n! (k − 1)!(n − k + 1)! = n!(n − k + 1) + n!(k) k!(n − k + 1)! 112 All rights reserved.

The first term in the expansion is n 0 an = an , the second term is n 1 an−1 b = nan=1 b, the second to the last term is n n−1 abn−1 = nabn−1 , and the last term is n n bn = bn . The kth term of the expansion is n k−1 an−k+1 bk−1 . If n is even, there is a middle term, which is the n 2 + 1 th term. If n is odd, there are two middle terms, the n+1 2 th and n+1 2 + 1 th terms. The general term is often represented by n k an−k bk . Notice that, in any term, the sum of the exponents of a and b is n. The combination n k is the coefficient of the term involving bk . This allows us to compute any particular term without needing to expand (a + b)n and without listing all the other terms. Example 2.4.5. Find the fifth term in the expansion of 2x − √ y 20 . Solution. The fifth term in the expansion of a fifth power corresponds to k = 4. 20 4 (2x)20−4 (− √ y)4 = 4845 65536x16 y2 = 317521920x16 y2 2 Example 2.4.6.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 3.1. Anglesin a Unit Circle Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) illustrate the unit circle and the relationship between the linear and angular measures of arcs in a unit circle. (2) convert degree measure to radian measure, and vice versa. (3) illustrate angles in standard position and coterminal angles. Lesson Outline (1) Linear and angular measure of arcs (2) Conversion of degree to radian, and vice versa (3) Arc length and area of the sector (4) Angle in standard position and coterminal angles Introduction Angles are being used in several fields like engineering, medical imaging, elec- tronics, astronomy, geography and many more. Added to that, surveyors, pilots, landscapers, designers, soldiers, and people in many other professions heavily use angles and trigonometry to accomplish a variety of practical tasks. In this les- son, we will deal with the basics of angle measures together with arc length and sectors. 3.1.1. Angle Measure An angle is formed by rotating a ray about its endpoint. In the figure shown below, the initial side of ∠AOB is OA, while its terminal side is OB. An angle is said to be positive if the ray rotates in a counterclockwise direction, and the angle is negative if it rotates in a clockwise direction. 124 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY An angle isin standard position if it is drawn in the xy-plane with its vertex at the origin and its initial side on the positive x-axis. The angles α, β, and θ in the following figure are angles in standard position. To measure angles, we use degrees, minutes, seconds, and radians. A central angle of a circle measures one degree, written 1◦ , if it inter- cepts 1 360 of the circumference of the circle. One minute, written 1 , is 1 60 of 1◦ , while one second, written 1 , is 1 60 of 1 . For example, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, 10◦ 30 18 = 10◦ 30 + 18 60 = 10◦ 30.3 = 10 + 30.3 60 ◦ = 10.505◦ and 79.251◦ = 79◦ (0.251 × 60) = 79◦ 15.06 = 79◦ 15 (0.06 × 60) = 79◦ 15 3.6 .

    D EPED C O PY A central angleof the unit circle that intercepts an arc of the circle with length 1 unit is said to have a measure of one radian, written 1 rad. See Figure 3.1. Figure 3.1 In trigonometry, as it was studied in Grade 9, the degree measure is often used. On the other hand, in some fields of mathematics like calculus, radian measure of angles is preferred. Radian measure allows us to treat the trigonometric functions as functions with the set of real numbers as domains, rather than angles. Example 3.1.1. In the following figure, identify the terminal side of an angle in standard position with given measure. (1) degree measure: 135◦ , −135◦ , −90◦ , 405◦ (2) radian measure: π 4 rad, −3π 4 rad, 3π 2 rad, −π 2 rad 126 All rights reserved.

Thus, we obtain the following conversion rules. Converting degree to radian, and vice versa 1. To convert a degree measure to radian, multiply it by π 180 . 2. To convert a radian measure to degree, multiply it by 180 π . Figure 3.2 shows some special angles in standard position with the indicated terminal sides. The degree and radian measures are also given. Figure 3.2 Example 3.1.2. Express 75◦ and 240◦ in radians.

Coterminal Angles Two angles in standard position that have a common terminal side are called coterminal angles. Observe that the degree measures of coterminal angles differ by multiples of 360◦ . Two angles are coterminal if and only if their degree measures differ by 360k, where k ∈ Z. Similarly, two angles are coterminal if and only if their radian mea- sures differ by 2πk, where k ∈ Z. As a quick illustration, to find one coterminal angle with an angle that mea- sures 410◦ , just subtract 360◦ , resulting in 50◦ . See Figure 3.3. Figure 3.3 Example 3.1.4.

(1) −380◦ + 2 · 360◦ = 340◦ (2) −380◦ + 360◦ = −20◦ 2 3.1.3. Arc Length and Area of a Sector In a circle, a central angle whose radian measure is θ subtends an arc that is the fraction θ 2π of the circumference of the circle. Thus, in a circle of radius r (see Figure 3.4), the length s of an arc that subtends the angle θ is s = θ 2π × circumference of circle = θ 2π (2πr) = rθ. Figure 3.4 In a circle of radius r, the length s of an arc intercepted by a central angle with measure θ radians is given by s = rθ. Example 3.1.5. Find the length of an arc of a circle with radius 10 m that subtends a central angle of 30◦ . Solution. Since the given central angle is in degrees, we have to convert it into radian measure.

Solution. θ = s r = 6 4 = 3 2 rad 2 A sector of a circle is the portion of the interior of a circle bounded by the initial and terminal sides of a central angle and its intercepted arc. It is like a “slice of pizza.” Note that an angle with measure 2π radians will define a sector that corresponds to the whole “pizza.” Therefore, if a central angle of a sector has measure θ radians, then the sector makes up the fraction θ 2π of a complete circle. See Figure 3.5. Since the area of a complete circle with radius r is πr2 , we have Area of a sector = θ 2π (πr2 ) = 1 2 θr2 . Figure 3.5 In a circle of radius r, the area A of a sector with a central angle measuring θ radians is A = 1 2 r2 θ. Example 3.1.7. Find the area of a sector of a circle with central angle 60◦ if the radius of the circle is 3 m. Solution. First, we have to convert 60◦ into radians.

    D EPED C O PY 3.2.1. Circular Functionson Real Numbers Recall that the sine and cosine functions (and four others: tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent) of angles measuring between 0◦ and 90◦ were defined in the last quarter of Grade 9 as ratios of sides of a right triangle. It can be verified that these definitions are special cases of the following definition. Let θ be an angle in standard position and P(θ) = P(x, y) the point on its terminal side on the unit circle. Define sin θ = y csc θ = 1 y , y = 0 cos θ = x sec θ = 1 x , x = 0 tan θ = y x , x = 0 cot θ = x y , y = 0 Example 3.2.1. Find the values of cos 135◦ , tan 135◦ , sin(−60◦ ), and sec(−60◦ ). Solution. Refer to Figure 3.11(a). (a) (b) Figure 3.11 From properties of 45◦ -45◦ and 30◦ -60◦ right triangles (with hypotenuse 1 unit), we obtain the lengths of the legs as in Figure 3.11(b). Thus, the coordinates of A and B are A = − √ 2 2 , √ 2 2 and B = 1 2 , − √ 3 2 . 136 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Therefore, we get cos135◦ = − √ 2 2 , tan 135◦ = −1, sin(−60◦ ) = − √ 3 2 , and sec(−60◦ ) = 2. 2 From the last example, we may then also say that cos π 4 rad = √ 2 2 , sin − π 3 rad = − √ 3 2 , and so on. From the above definitions, we define the same six functions on real numbers. These functions are called trigonometric functions. Let s be any real number. Suppose θ is the angle in standard position with measure s rad. Then we define sin s = sin θ csc s = csc θ cos s = cos θ sec s = sec θ tan s = tan θ cot s = cot θ From the last example, we then have cos π 4 = cos π 4 rad = cos 45◦ = √ 2 2 and sin − π 3 = sin − π 3 rad = sin(−60◦ ) = − √ 3 2 . In the same way, we have tan 0 = tan(0 rad) = tan 0◦ = 0. Example 3.2.2. Find the exact values of sin 3π 2 , cos 3π 2 , and tan 3π 2 . Solution. Let P 3π 2 be the point on the unit circle and on the terminal side of the angle in the standard position with measure 3π 2 rad. Then P 3π 2 = (0, −1), and so sin 3π 2 = −1, cos 3π 2 = 0, but tan 3π 2 is undefined. 2 137 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 3.2.3. Supposes is a real number such that sin s = −3 4 and cos s > 0. Find cos s. Solution. We may consider s as the angle with measure s rad. Let P(s) = (x, y) be the point on the unit circle and on the terminal side of angle s. Since P(s) is on the unit circle, we know that x2 + y2 = 1. Since sin s = y = −3 4 , we get x2 = 1 − y2 = 1 − − 3 4 2 = 7 16 =⇒ x = ± √ 7 4 . Since cos s = x > 0, we have cos s = √ 7 4 . 2 Let P(x1, y1) and Q(x, y) be points on the terminal side of an angle θ in standard position, where P is on the unit circle and Q on the circle of radius r (not necessarily 1) with center also at the origin, as shown above. Observe that we can use similar triangles to obtain cos θ = x1 = x1 1 = x r and sin θ = y1 = y1 1 = y r . We may then further generalize the definitions of the six circular functions. 138 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Let θ bean angle in standard position, Q(x, y) any point on the ter- minal side of θ, and r = x2 + y2 > 0. Then sin θ = y r csc θ = r y , y = 0 cos θ = x r sec θ = r x , x = 0 tan θ = y x , x = 0 cot θ = x y , y = 0 We then have a second solution for Example 3.2.3 as follows. With sin s = −3 4 and sin s = y r , we may choose y = −3 and r = 4 (which is always positive). In this case, we can solve for x, which is positive since cos s = x 4 is given to be positive. 4 = x2 + (−3)2 =⇒ x = √ 7 =⇒ cos s = √ 7 4 3.2.2. Reference Angle We observe that if θ1 and θ2 are coterminal angles, the values of the six circular or trigonometric functions at θ1 agree with the values at θ2. Therefore, in finding the value of a circular function at a number θ, we can always reduce θ to a number between 0 and 2π. For example, sin 14π 3 = sin 14π 3 − 4π = sin 2π 3 . Also, observe from Figure 3.12 that sin 2π 3 = sin π 3 . Figure 3.12 139 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY In general, ifθ1, θ2, θ3, and θ4 are as shown in Figure 3.13 with P(θ1) = (x1, y1), then each of the x-coordinates of P(θ2), P(θ3), and P(θ4) is ±x1, while the y-coordinate is ±y1. The correct sign is determined by the location of the angle. Therefore, together with the correct sign, the value of a particular circular function at an angle θ can be determined by its value at an angle θ1 with radian measure between 0 and π 2 . The angle θ1 is called the reference angle of θ. Figure 3.13 The signs of the coordinates of P(θ) depends on the quadrant or axis where it terminates. It is important to know the sign of each circular function in each quadrant. See Figure 3.14. It is not necessary to memorize the table, since the sign of each function for each quadrant is easily determined from its definition. We note that the signs of cosecant, secant, and cotangent are the same as sine, cosine, and tangent, respectively.

    D EPED C O PY Introduction There are manythings that occur periodically. Phenomena like rotation of the planets and comets, high and low tides, and yearly change of the seasons follow a periodic pattern. In this lesson, we will graph the six circular functions and we will see that they are periodic in nature. 3.3.1. Graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x Recall that, for a real number x, sin x = sin θ for an angle θ with measure x radians, and that sin θ is the second coordinate of the point P(θ) on the unit circle. Since each x corresponds to an angle θ, we can conclude that (1) sin x is defined for any real number x or the domain of the sine function is R, and (2) the range of sine is the set of all real numbers between −1 and 1 (inclusive). From the definition, it also follows that sin(x+2π) = sin x for any real number x. This means that the values of the sine function repeat every 2π units. In this case, we say that the sine function is a periodic function with period 2π. Table 3.16 below shows the values of y = sin x, where x is the equivalent radian measure of the special angles and their multiples from 0 to 2π. As commented above, these values determine the behavior of the function on R. x 0 π 6 π 4 π 3 π 2 2π 3 3π 4 5π 6 π y 0 1 2 √ 2 2 √ 3 2 1 √ 3 2 √ 2 2 1 2 0 0 0.5 0.71 0.87 1 0.87 0.71 0.5 0 x 7π 6 5π 4 4π 3 3π 2 5π 3 7π 4 11π 6 2π y −1 2 − √ 2 2 − √ 3 2 −1 − √ 3 2 − √ 2 2 −1 2 0 −0.5 −0.71 −0.87 −1 −0.87 −0.71 −0.5 0 Table 3.16 From the table, we can observe that as x increases from 0 to π 2 , sin x also increases from 0 to 1. Similarly, as x increases from 3π 2 to 2π, sin x also increases from −1 to 0. On the other hand, notice that as x increases from π 2 to π, sin x decreases from 1 to 0. Similarly, as x increases from π to 3π 2 , sin x decreases from 0 to −1. 145 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY To sketch thegraph of y = sin x, we plot the points presented in Table 3.16, and join them with a smooth curve. See Figure 3.17.

    D EPED C O PY From the graphsof y = sin x and y = cos x in Figures 3.18 and 3.19, re- spectively, we observe that sin(−x) = − sin x and cos(−x) = cos x for any real number x. In other words, the graphs of y = cos(−x) and y = cos x are the same, while the graph of y = sin(−x) is the same as that of y = − sin x. In general, if a function f satisfies the property that f(−x) = f(x) for all x in its domain, we say that such function is even. On the other hand, we say that a function f is odd if f(−x) = −f(x) for all x in its domain. For example, the functions x2 and cos x are even, while the functions x3 − 3x and sin x are odd. 3.3.2. Graphs of y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx Using a table of values from 0 to 2π, we can sketch the graph of y = 3 sin x, and compare it to the graph of y = sin x. See Figure 3.20 wherein the solid curve belongs to y = 3 sin x, while the dashed curve to y = sin x. For instance, if x = π 2 , then y = 1 when y = sin x, and y = 3 when y = 3 sin x. The period, x-intercepts, and domains are the same for both graphs, while they differ in the range. The range of y = 3 sin x is [−3, 3]. Figure 3.20 In general, the graphs of y = a sin x and y = a cos x with a > 0 have the same shape as the graphs of y = sin x and y = cos x, respectively. If a < 0, there is a reflection across the x-axis. In the graphs of y = a sin x and y = a cos x, the number |a| is called its amplitude. It dictates the height of the curve. When |a| < 1, the graphs are shrunk vertically, and when |a| > 1, the graphs are stretched vertically. Now, in Table 3.21, we consider the values of y = sin 2x on [0, 2π]. 147 All rights reserved.

Notice that, for sin 2x to generate periodic values similar to [0, 2π] for y = sin x, we just need values of x from 0 to π. We then expect the values of sin 2x to repeat every π units thereafter. The period of y = sin 2x is π. If b = 0, then both y = sin bx and y = cos bx have period given by 2π |b| . If 0 < |b| < 1, the graphs are stretched horizontally, and if |b| > 1, the graphs are shrunk horizontally. To sketch the graphs of y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, a, b = 0, we may proceed with the following steps: (1) Determine the amplitude |a|, and find the period 2π |b| . To draw one cycle of the graph (that is, one complete graph for one period), we just need to complete the graph from 0 to 2π |b| . 148 All rights reserved.

(2) Dividing the interval [0, 3π] into four equal parts, we get the x-coordinates of the five important points: 0 + 3π 2 = 3π 2 , 0 + 3π 2 2 = 3π 4 , 3π 2 + 3π 2 = 9π 4 . (3) We get y = 0 when x = 0, 3π 2 , and 3π, y = −1 2 when 3π 4 , and y = 1 2 when 9π 4 . (4) We trace the points in Step 3 by a smooth curve.

    D EPED C O PY 3.3.3. Graphs ofy = a sin b(x − c) + d and y = a cos b(x − c) + d We first compare the graphs of y = sin x and y = sin x − π 3 using a table of values and the 5-step procedure discussed earlier. As x runs from π 3 to 7π 3 , the value of the expression x− π 3 runs from 0 to 2π. So for one cycle of the graph of y = sin x − π 3 , we then expect to have the graph of y = sin x starting from x = π 3 . This is confirmed by the values in Table 3.23. We then apply a similar procedure to complete one cycle of the graph; that is, divide the interval [π 3 , 7π 3 ] into four equal parts, and then determine the key values of x in sketching the graphs as discussed earlier. The one-cycle graph of y = sin x (dashed curve) and the corresponding one-cycle graph of y = sin x − π 3 (solid curve) are shown in Figure 3.24. x π 3 5π 6 4π 3 11π 6 7π 3 x − π 3 0 π 2 π 3π 2 2π sin x − π 3 0 1 0 −1 0 Table 3.23 Figure 3.24 Observe that the graph of y = sin x − π 3 shifts π 3 units to the right of y = sin x. Thus, they have the same period, amplitude, domain, and range. The graphs of y = a sin b(x − c) and y = a cos b(x − c) have the same shape as y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, respectively, but shifted c units to the right when c > 0 and shifted |c| units to the left if c < 0. The number c is called the phase shift of the sine or cosine graph. 151 All rights reserved.

We have sketched the graph of y = 3 sin x earlier at the start of the lesson. We consider y = 3 sin x + π 4 . We expect that it has the same shape as that of y = 3 sin x, but shifted some units. Here, we have a = 3, b = 1, and c = −π 4 . From these constants, we get the amplitude, the period, and the phase shift, and these are 3, 2π, and −π 4 , respectively. One cycle starts at x = −π 4 and ends at x = −π 4 + 2π = 7π 4 . We now compute the important values of x. −π 4 + 7π 4 2 = 3π 4 , −π 4 + 3π 4 2 = π 4 , 3π 4 + 7π 4 2 = 5π 4 x −π 4 π 4 3π 4 5π 4 7π 4 y = 3 sin x + π 4 0 3 0 −3 0 While the effect of c in y = a sin b(x − c) and y = a cos b(x − c) is a horizontal shift of their graphs from the corresponding graphs of y = a sin bx and y = a cos bx, the effect of d in the equations y = a sin b(x − c) + d and y = a cos b(x − c) + d is a vertical shift. That is, the graph of y = a sin b(x−c)+d has the same amplitude, period, and phase shift as that of y = a sin b(x − c), but shifted d units upward when d > 0 and |d| units downward when d < 0. 152 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 3.3.5. Graphs ofTangent and Cotangent Functions We know that tan x = sin x cos x , where cos x = 0. From this definition of the tangent function, it follows that its domain is the same as that of the secant function, which is {x ∈ R : cos x = 0} = {x ∈ R : x = kπ 2 , k odd integer}. We note that tan x = 0 when sin x = 0 (that is, when x = kπ, k any integer), and that the graph of y = tan x has asymptotes x = kπ 2 , k odd integer. Furthermore, by recalling the signs of tangent from Quadrant I to Quadrant IV and its values, we observe that the tangent function is periodic with period π. To sketch the graph of y = tan x, it will be enough to know its one-cycle graph on the open interval −π 2 , π 2 .

Then we draw one cycle of the graph on − π 2b , π 2b for y = a tan bx, and on 0, π b for y = a cot bx. (2) Determine the two adjacent vertical asymptotes. For y = a tan bx, these vertical asymptotes are given by x = ± π 2b . For y = a cot bx, the vertical asymptotes are given by x = 0 and x = π b . (3) Divide the interval formed by the vertical asymptotes in Step 2 into four equal parts, and get three division points exclusively between the asymp- totes.

    D EPED C O PY t = 6.1sec t = 9 sec Periodic motions are usually modeled by either sine or cosine function, and are called simple harmonic motions. Unimpeded movements of objects like oscilla- tion, vibration, rotation, and motion due to water waves are real-life occurrences that behave in simple harmonic motion. Equations of Simple Harmonic Motion The displacement y (directed height or length) of an object behaving in a simple harmonic motion with respect to time t is given by one of the following equations: y = a sin b(t − c) + d or y = a cos b(t − c) + d. In both equations, we have the following information: • amplitude = |a| = 1 2 (M − m) - the maximum displacement above and below the rest position or central position or equilibrium, where M is the maximum height and m is the minimum height; • period = 2π |b| - the time required to complete one cycle (from one highest or lowest point to the next); • frequency = |b| 2π - the number of cycles per unit of time; • c - responsible for the horizontal shift in time; and • d - responsible for the vertical shift in displacement. Example 3.3.10. A weight is suspended from a spring and is moving up and down in a simple harmonic motion. At start, the weight is pulled down 5 cm below the resting position, and then released.

    D EPED C O PY highest location forthe first time. Find the equation of the motion. Solution. We are given that the weight is located at its lowest position at t = 0; that is, y = −5 when t = 0. Therefore, the equation is y = −5 cos bt. Because it took the weight 8 seconds from the lowest point to its immediate highest point, half the period is 8 seconds. 1 2 · 2π b = 8 =⇒ b = π 8 =⇒ y = −5 cos πt 8 2 Example 3.3.11. Suppose you ride a Ferris wheel. The lowest point of the wheel is 3 meters off the ground, and its diameter is 20 m. After it started, the Ferris wheel revolves at a constant speed, and it takes 32 seconds to bring you back again to the riding point. After riding for 150 seconds, find your approximate height above the ground. Solution. We ignore first the fixed value of 3 m off the ground, and assume that the central position passes through the center of the wheel and is parallel to the ground. Let t be the time (in seconds) elapsed that you have been riding the Ferris wheel, and y is he directed distance of your location with respect to the assumed central position at time t. Because y = −10 when t = 0, the appropriate model is y = −10 cos bt for t ≥ 0. Given that the Ferris wheel takes 32 seconds to move from the lowest point to the next, the period is 32. 2π b = 32 =⇒ b = π 16 =⇒ y = −10 cos πt 16 When t = 150, we get y = 10 cos 150π 16 ≈ 3.83. Bringing back the original condition given in the problem that the riding point is 3 m off the ground, after riding for 150 seconds, you are approximately located 3.83 + 13 = 16.83 m off the ground. 2 In the last example, the central position or equilibrium may be vertically shifted from the ground or sea level (the role of the constant d). In the same way, the starting point may also be horizontally shifted (the role of the constant c). Moreover, as observed in Sub-Lesson 3.3.3 (see page 154), to find the function that describes a particular simple harmonic motion, we can either choose y = a sin b(t − c) + d or y = a cos b(t − c) + d, and determine the appropriate values of a, b, c, and d. In fact, we can assume that a and b are positive numbers, and c is the smallest such nonnegative number. 163 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 3.3.12. Asignal buoy in Laguna Bay bobs up and down with the height h of its transmitter (in feet) above sea level modeled by h(t) = a sin bt + d at time t (in seconds). During a small squall, its height varies from 1 ft to 9 ft above sea level, and it takes 3.5 seconds from one 9-ft height to the next. Find the values of the constants a, b, and d. Solution. We solve the constants step by step. • The minimum and maximum values of h(t) are 1 ft and 9 ft, respectively. Thus, the amplitude is a = 1 2 (M − m) = 1 2 (9 − 1) = 4. • Because it takes 3.5 seconds from one 9-ft height to the next, the period is 3.5. Thus, we have 2π b = 3.5, which gives b = 4π 7 . • Because the lowest point is 1 ft above the sea level and the amplitude is 4, it follows that d = 5. 2 Example 3.3.13. A variable star is a star whose brightness fluctuates as ob- served from Earth. The magnitude of visual brightness of one variable star ranges from 2.0 to 10.1, and it takes 332 days to observe one maximum brightness to the next. Assuming that the visual brightness of the star can be modeled by the equation y = a sin b(t − c) + d, t in days, and putting t = 0 at a time when the star is at its maximum brightness, find the constants a, b, c, and d, where a, b > 0 and c the least nonnegative number possible. Solution. a = M − m 2 = 10.1 − 2.0 2 = 4.05 2π b = 332 =⇒ b = π 166 d = a + m = 4.05 + 2.0 = 6.05 For the (ordinary) sine function to start at the highest point at t = 0, the least possible horizontal movement to the right (positive value) is 3π 2 units. bc = 3π 2 =⇒ c = 3π 2b = 3π 2 · π 166 = 249 2 Example 3.3.14.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. As describedabove, we may choose sine or cosine function. Here, we choose the sine function to describe both x and y in terms of time t in microsec- onds; that is, we let x = a sin b(t − c) + d and y = e sin f(t − g) + h, where we appropriately choose the positive values for a, b, e, and f, and the least nonnegative values for c and g. The given circle has radius 6 and center (−7, 5). Defining the central position of the values of x as the line x = −7 and that of the values of y as the line y = 5, we get a = e = 6, d = −7, and h = 5. From the point (−1, 5) to the point (−7, 11) (moving clockwise), the particle has traveled three-fourths of the complete cycle; that is, three-fourths of the period must be 2. 3 4 · 2π b = 3 4 · 2π f = 6 =⇒ b = f = π 4 As the particle starts at (−1, 5) and moves clockwise, the values of x start at its highest value (x = −1) and move downward toward its central position (x = −7) and continue to its lowest value (x = −13). Therefore, the graph of a sin bt + d has to move 3π 2b = 6 units to the right, and so we get c = 6. As to the value of g, we observe the values of y start at its central position (y = 5) and go downward to its lowest value (y = −1). Similar to the argument used in determining c, the graph of y = e sin ft + h has to move π b = 4 units to the right, implying that g = 4. Hence, We have the following equations of x and y in terms of t: x = 6 sin π 4 (t − 6) − 7 and y = 6 sin π 4 (t − 4) + 5. When t = 15, we get x = 6 sin π 4 (15 − 6) − 7 = −7 + 3 √ 2 ≈ −2.76 and y = 6 sin π 4 (15 − 4) + 5 = 5 + 3 √ 2 ≈ 9.24.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 3.4. FundamentalTrigonometric Identities Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) determine whether an equation is an identity or a conditional equation; (2) derive the fundamental trigonometric identities; (3) simplify trigonometric expressions using fundamental trigonometric identi- ties; and (4) prove other trigonometric identities using fundamental trigonometric identi- ties. Lesson Outline (1) Domain of an equation (2) Identity and conditional equation (3) Fundamental trigonometric identities (4) Proving trigonometric identities Introduction In previous lessons, we have defined trigonometric functions using the unit circle and also investigated the graphs of the six trigonometric functions. This lesson builds on the understanding of the different trigonometric functions by discovery, deriving, and working with trigonometric identities. 3.4.1. Domain of an Expression or Equation Consider the following expressions: 2x + 1, √ x2 − 1, x x2 − 3x − 4 , x √ x − 1 . What are the real values of the variable x that make the expressions defined in the set of real numbers? In the first expression, every real value of x when substituted to the expression makes it defined in the set of real numbers; that is, the value of the expression is real when x is real. In the second expression, not every real value of x makes the expression defined in R. For example, when x = 0, the expression becomes √ −1, which is not a real number. √ x2 − 1 ∈ R ⇐⇒ x2 − 1 ≥ 0 ⇐⇒ x ≤ −1 or x ≥ 1 171 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Here, for √ x2 −1 to be defined in R, x must be in (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞). In the third expression, the values of x that make the denominator zero make the entire expression undefined. x2 − 3x − 4 = (x − 4)(x + 1) = 0 ⇐⇒ x = 4 or x = −1 Hence, the expression x x2 − 3x − 4 is real when x = 4 and x = −1. In the fourth expression, because the expression √ x − 1 is in the denominator, x must be greater than 1. Although the value of the entire expression is 0 when x = 0, we do not include 0 as allowed value of x because part of the expression is not real when x = 0. In the expressions above, the allowed values of the variable x constitute the domain of the expression. The domain of an expression (or equation) is the set of all real values of the variable for which every term (or part) of the expression (equation) is defined in R. In the expressions above, the domains of the first, second, third, and fourth expressions are R, (−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞), R {−1, 4}, and (1, ∞), respectively. Example 3.4.1. Determine the domain of the expression/equation. (a) x2 − 1 x3 + 2x2 − 8x − √ x + 1 1 − x (b) tan θ − sin θ − cos 2θ (c) x2 − √ 1 + x2 = 2 3 √ x2 − 1 (d) z − cos2 z 1 + sin z = 4 sin z − 1 Solution. (a) x3 + 2x2 − 8x = x(x + 4)(x − 2) = 0 ⇐⇒ x = 0, x = −4, or x = 2 √ x + 1 ∈ R ⇐⇒ x + 1 ≥ 0 ⇐⇒ x ≥ −1 1 − x = 0 ⇐⇒ x = 1 Domain = [−1, ∞) {−4, 0, 1, 2} = [−1, 0) ∪ (0, 1) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ (2, ∞) 172 All rights reserved.

On the other hand, the expression 3 √ x2 − 1 is also defined in R, but it cannot be zero because it is in the denominator. Therefore, x should not be −1 and 1. Domain = R {−1, 1} (d) 1 + sin z = 0 ⇐⇒ z = 3π 2 + 2kπ, k ∈ Z Domain = R {3π 2 + 2kπ|k ∈ Z} 2 3.4.2. Identity and Conditional Equation Consider the following two groups of equations: Group A Group B (A1) x2 − 1 = 0 (B1) x2 − 1 = (x − 1)(x + 1) (A2) (x + 7)2 = x2 + 49 (B2) (x + 7)2 = x2 + 14x + 49 (A3) x2 − 4 x − 2 = 2x − 1 (B3) x2 − 4 x − 2 = x + 2 In each equation in Group A, some values of the variable that are in the domain of the equation do not satisfy the equation (that is, do not make the equation true). On the other hand, in each equation in Group B, every element in the domain of the equation satisfies the given equation. The equations in Group A are called conditional equations, while those in Group B are called identities. An identity is an equation that is true for all values of the variable in the domain of the equation. An equation that is not an identity is called a conditional equation. (In other words, if some values of the variable in the domain of the equation do not satisfy the equation, then the equation is a conditional equation.) Example 3.4.2. Identify whether the given equation is an identity or a condi- tional equation. For each conditional equation, provide a value of the variable in the domain that does not satisfy the equation.

(2) This is a conditional equation. If θ = 0, then the left-hand side of the equation is 0, while the right-hand side is 2. (3) This is also a conditional equation. If θ = 0, then both sides of the equation are equal to 0. But if θ = π, then the left-hand side of the equation is 0, while the right-hand side is −2. (4) This is an identity because the right-hand side of the equation is obtained by rationalizing the denominator of the left-hand side. 2 3.4.3. The Fundamental Trigonometric Identities Recall that if P(x, y) is the terminal point on the unit circle corresponding to θ, then we have sin θ = y csc θ = 1 y tan θ = y x cos θ = x sec θ = 1 x cot θ = x y . From the definitions, the following reciprocal and quotient identities immedi- ately follow. Note that these identities hold if θ is taken either as a real number or as an angle. Reciprocal Identities csc θ = 1 sin θ sec θ = 1 cos θ cot θ = 1 tan θ Quotient Identities tan θ = sin θ cos θ cot θ = cos θ sin θ We can use these identities to simplify trigonometric expressions. 174 All rights reserved.

(1) tan θ cos θ sin θ = sin θ cos θ cos θ sin θ = 1 (2) cos θ cot θ = cos θ cos θ sin θ = sin θ 2 If P(x, y) is the terminal point on the unit circle corresponding to θ, then x2 + y2 = 1. Since sin θ = y and cos θ = x, we get sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1. By dividing both sides of this identity by cos2 θ and sin2 θ, respectively, we obtain tan2 θ + 1 = sec2 θ and 1 + cot2 θ = csc2 θ.

    D EPED C O PY The first twoof the negative identities can be obtained from the graphs of the sine and cosine functions, respectively. (Please review the discussion on page 147.) The third identity can be derived as follows: tan(−θ) = sin(−θ) cos(−θ) = − sin θ cos θ = − tan θ. The reciprocal, quotient, Pythagorean, and even-odd identities constitute what we call the fundamental trigonometric identities. We now solve Example 3.2.3 in a different way. Example 3.4.5.

    D EPED C O PY To verify thatit is an identity, recall that we need to establish the truth of the equation for all values of the variable in the domain of the equation. It is not enough to verify its truth for some selected values of the variable. To prove it, we use the fundamental trigonometric identities and valid algebraic manipulations like performing the fundamental operations, factoring, canceling, and multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same quantity. Start on the expression on one side of the proposed identity (preferably the complicated side), use and apply some of the fundamental trigonometric identities and algebraic manipulations, and arrive at the expression on the other side of the proposed identity.

Sumand Difference Identities Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) derive trigonometric identities involving sum and difference of two angles; (2) simplify trigonometric expressions using fundamental trigonometric identities and sum and difference identities; (3) prove other trigonometric identities using fundamental trigonometric identi- ties and sum and difference identities; and (4) solve situational problems involving trigonometric identities. Lesson Outline (1) The sum and difference identities for cosine, sine, and tangent functions (2) Cofunction identities (3) More trigonometric identities Introduction In previous lesson, we introduced the concept of trigonometric identity, pre- sented the fundamental identities, and proved some identities. In this lesson, we derive the sum and difference identities for cosine, sine, and tangent functions, establish the cofunction identities, and prove more trigonometric identities. 3.5.1. The Cosine Difference and Sum Identities Let u and v be any real numbers with 0 < v ≤ u < 2π. Consider the unit circle with points A = (1, 0), P1, P2, P3, and u and v with corresponding angles as shown below. Then P1P2 = AP3. 181 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Recall that P1= P(u) = (cos u, sin u), P2 = P(v) = (cos v, sin v), and P3 = P(u − v) = (cos(u − v), sin(u − v)), so that P1P2 = (cos u − cos v)2 + (sin u − sin v)2, while AP3 = [cos(u − v) − 1]2 + [sin(u − v) − 0]2. Equating these two expressions and expanding the squares, we get (cos u − cos v)2 + (sin u − sin v)2 = [cos(u − v) − 1]2 + sin2 (u − v) cos2 u − 2 cos u cos v + cos2 v + sin2 u − 2 sin u sin v + sin2 v = cos2 (u − v) − 2 cos(u − v) + 1 + sin2 (u − v) Applying the Pythagorean identity cos2 θ+sin2 θ = 1 and simplifying the resulting equations, we obtain (cos2 u + sin2 u) + (cos2 v + sin2 v) − 2 cos u cos v − 2 sin u sin v = [cos2 (u − v) + sin2 (u − v)] − 2 cos(u − v) + 1 1 + 1 − 2 cos u cos v − 2 sin u sin v = 1 − 2 cos(u − v) + 1 cos(u − v) = cos u cos v + sin u sin v. We have thus proved another identity. Although we assumed at the start that 0 < v ≤ u < 2π, but because cos(−θ) = cos θ (one of the even-odd identities), this new identity is true for any real numbers u and v. As before, the variables can take any real values or angle measures. Cosine Difference Identity cos(A − B) = cos A cos B + sin A sin B Replacing B with −B, and applying the even-odd identities, we immediately get another identity.

    D EPED C O PY Example 3.5.5. Prove: sin(x+ y) = (1 + cot x tan y) sin x cos y. Solution. (1 + cot x tan y) sin x cos y = sin x cos y + cot x tan y sin x cos y = sin x cos y + cos x sin x sin y cos y sin x cos y = sin x cos y + cos x sin y = sin(x + y) 2 3.5.3. The Tangent Sum and Difference Identities Recall that tan x is the ratio of sin x over cos x. When we replace x with A + B, we obtain tan(A + B) = sin(A + B) cos(A + B) . Using the sum identities for sine and cosine, and then dividing the numerator and denominator by cos A cos B, we have tan(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B cos A cos B − sin A sin B = sin A cos B cos A cos B + cos A sin B cos A cos B cos A cos B cos A cos B − sin A sin B cos A cos B = tan A + tan B 1 − tan A tan B . We have just established the tangent sum identity. In the above identity, if we replace B with −B and use the even-odd identity tan(−θ) = − tan θ, we get tan(A − B) = tan[A + (−B)] = tan A + tan(−B) 1 − tan A tan(−B) = tan A − tan B 1 + tan A tan B . This is the tangent difference identity. Tangent Sum and Difference Identities tan(A + B) = tan A + tan B 1 − tan A tan B tan(A − B) = tan A − tan B 1 + tan A tan B 186 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson 3.6. Double-Angleand Half-Angle Identities Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) derive the double-angle and half-angle identities; (2) simplify trigonometric expressions using known identities; (3) prove other trigonometric identities using known identities; and (4) solve situational problems involving trigonometric identities. Lesson Outline (1) The double-angle and half-angle identities for cosine, sine, and tangent (2) More trigonometric identities Introduction Trigonometric identities simplify the computations of trigonometric expres- sions. In this lesson, we continue on establishing more trigonometric identities. In particular, we derive the formulas for f(2θ) and f 1 2 θ , where f is the sine, cosine, or tangent function. 3.6.1. Double-Angle Identities Recall the sum identities for sine and cosine. sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B cos(A + B) = cos A cos B − sin A sin B When A = B, these identities becomes sin 2A = sin A cos A + cos A sin A = 2 sin A cos A and cos 2A = cos A cos A − sin A sin A = cos2 A − sin2 A. Double-Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A cos 2A = cos2 A − sin2 A The double-identity for cosine has other forms. We use the Pythagorean identity sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1. cos 2A = cos2 A − sin2 A 192 All rights reserved.

Given sin t = 3 5 and π 2 < t < π, find sin 2t and cos 2t. Solution. We first find cos t using the Pythagorean identity. Since t lies in QII, we have cos t = − 1 − sin2 t = − 1 − 3 5 2 = − 4 5 . sin 2t = 2 sin t cos t = 2 3 5 − 4 5 = − 24 25 cos 2t = 1 − 2 sin2 t = 1 − 2 3 5 2 = 7 25 2 In the last example, we may compute cos 2t using one of the other two double- angle identities for cosine. For the sake of answering the curious minds, we include the computations here. cos 2t = cos2 t − sin2 t = − 4 5 2 − 3 5 2 = 7 25 cos 2t = 2 cos2 t − 1 = 2 − 4 5 2 − 1 = 7 25 In the three cosine double-angle identities, which formula to use depends on the convenience, what is given, and what is asked.

    D EPED C O PY Solution. We usethe sum identity for sine, the double-angle identities for sine and cosine, and the Pythagorean identity. sin 3x = sin(2x + x) = sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x = (2 sin x cos x) cos x + (1 − 2 sin2 x) sin x = 2 sin x cos2 x + sin x − 2 sin3 x = 2(sin x)(1 − sin2 x) + sin x − 2 sin3 x = 3 sin x − 4 sin3 x 2 For the double-angle formula for tangent, we recall the tangent sum identity: tan(A + B) = tan A + tan B 1 − tan A tan B . When A = B, we obtain tan(A + A) = tan A + tan A 1 − tan A tan A = 2 tan A 1 − tan2 A . Tangent Double-Angle Identity tan 2A = 2 tan A 1 − tan2 A Example 3.6.3. If tan θ = −1 3 and sec θ > 0, find sin 2θ, cos 2θ, and tan 2θ. Solution. We can compute immediately tan 2θ. tan 2θ = 2 tan θ 1 − tan2 θ = 2 −1 3 1 − −1 3 2 = − 3 4 From the given information, we deduce that θ lies in QIV. Using one Pythagorean identity, we compute cos θ through sec θ. (We may also use the technique dis- cussed in Lesson 3.2 by solving for x, y, and r.) Then we proceed to find cos 2θ. sec θ = 1 + tan2 θ = 1 + − 1 3 2 = √ 10 3 cos θ = 1 sec θ = 1 √ 10 3 = 3 √ 10 10 cos 2θ = 2 cos2 θ − 1 = 2 3 √ 10 10 2 − 1 = 4 5 tan 2θ = sin 2θ cos 2θ =⇒ sin 2θ = tan 2θ cos 2θ = − 3 5 2 194 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 3.6.2. Half-Angle Identities Recalltwo of the three double-angle identities for cosine: cos 2A = 2 cos2 A − 1 and cos 2A = 1 − 2 sin2 A. From these identities, we obtain two useful identities expressing sin2 A and cos2 A in terms of cos 2A as follows: cos2 A = 1 + cos 2A 2 and sin2 A = 1 − cos 2A 2 . Some Useful Identities cos2 A = 1 + cos 2A 2 sin2 A = 1 − cos 2A 2 From these identities, replacing A with A 2 , we get cos2 A 2 = 1 + cos 2 A 2 2 = 1 + cos A 2 and sin2 A 2 = 1 − cos 2 A 2 2 = 1 − cos A 2 . These are the half-angle identities for sine and cosine. Half-Angle Identities for Sine and Cosine cos2 A 2 = 1 + cos A 2 sin2 A 2 = 1 − cos A 2 Because of the “square” in the formulas, we get cos A 2 = ± 1 + cos A 2 and sin A 2 = ± 1 − cos A 2 . The appropriate signs of cos A 2 and sin A 2 depend on which quadrant A 2 lies. Example 3.6.4. Find the exact values of sin 22.5◦ and cos 22.5◦ . Solution. Clearly, 22.5◦ lies in QI (and so sin 22.5◦ and cos 22.5◦ are both posi- tive), and 22.5◦ is the half-angle of 45◦ . sin 22.5◦ = 1 − cos 45◦ 2 = 1 − √ 2 2 2 = 2 − √ 2 2 cos 22.5◦ = 1 + cos 45◦ 2 = 1 + √ 2 2 2 = 2 + √ 2 2 2 195 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Solution: In thisproblem, we use the Pythagorean identity sin2 θ +cos2 θ = 1. Because cos θ = − 5 13 , we must have sin2 θ = 1 − cos2 θ = 1 − 25 169 = 144 169 . Moreover, since 0 < θ < π, we take the square root of both sides of the above equation to get sin θ = 12 13 . Now, using the double-angle identities we get sin 2θ = 2 sin θ cos θ and cos 2θ = cos2 θ − sin2 θ = 2 12 13 − 5 13 = 25 169 − 144 169 = −120 169 = −119 169 . 2. Derive an identity for cos 3x in terms of cos x. Solution: We use the sum identity for cosine, the double-angle identities for sine and cosine, and the Pythagorean identity. cos 3x = cos(2x + x) = cos 2x cos x − sin 2x sin x = (2 cos2 x − 1) cos x − (2 sin x cos x) sin x = 2 cos3 x − cos x − 2 sin2 x cos x = 2 cos3 x − cos x − 2(1 − cos2 x) cos x = 4 cos3 x − 3 cos x. 3. Derive the identity for tan 3t in terms of tan t. Solution: Using the sum identity for tangent, we obtain tan 3t = tan(2t + t) = tan 2t + tan t 1 − tan 2t tan t . Now, using the tangent double-angle identity, we have tan 3t = 2 tan t 1−tan2 t + tan t 1 − 2 tan t 1−tan2 t tan t . Upon simplifying the terms on the right side of the equation, we finally obtain tan 3t = 3 tan t − tan3 t 1 − 3 tan2 t . 198 All rights reserved.

With y = π 6 , we obtain sin2 π 12 = sin2 1 2 π 6 = 1 − cos π 6 2 = 1 − √ 3 2 2 = 2 − √ 3 4 . Now, since 0 < π 12 < π, sin π 12 must be positive, and so sin π 12 = 2 − √ 3 2 . 5.

    D EPED C O PY Solution: (a) Let R= v2 0 g sin 2θ be the original range. When the angle is doubled, the new range will become R = v2 0 g sin 4θ. Now, we solve sin 4θ in terms of the original range. Note that sin 2θ = gR v2 0 . So, as a consequence of the fundamental identity, we obtain cos 2θ = 1 − g2R2 v4 0 = v4 0 − g2R2 v2 0 . Since sin 4θ = 2 sin 2θ cos 2θ, it follows that R = v2 0 g sin 4θ = v2 0 g 2 · gR v2 0 · v4 0 − g2R2 v2 0 = 2R v4 0 − g2R2 v2 0 . (b) Using the result in (a), if α is doubled, then the new range is given by R = 2R v4 0 − g2R2 v2 0 = 40 √ 640000 − 409600 800 = 24. Therefore, the new horizontal distance is 24 ft.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions Learning Outcomes of the Lesson At the end of the lesson, the student is able to: (1) graph the six basic inverse trigonometric functions; (2) illustrate the domain and range of the inverse trigonometric functions; (3) evaluate inverse trigonometric expressions; and (4) solve situational problems involving inverse trigonometric functions. Lesson Outline (1) Definitions of the six inverse trigonometric functions (2) Graphs of inverse trigonometric functions (3) Domain and range of inverse trigonometric functions (4) Evaluation of inverse trigonometric expressions Introduction In the previous lessons on functions (algebraic and trigonometric), we com- puted for the value of a function at a number in its domain. Now, given a value in the range of the function, we reverse this process by finding a number in the domain whose function value is the given one. Observe that, in this process, the function involved may or may not give a unique number in the domain. For example, each of the functions f(x) = x2 and g(x) = cos x do not give a unique number in their respective domains for some values of each function. Given f(x) = 1, the function gives x = ±1. If g(x) = 1, then x = 2kπ, where k is an integer. Because of this possibility, in order for the reverse process to produce a function, we restrict this process to one-to-one functions or at least restrict the domain of a non-one-to-one function to make it one-to-one so that the process 201 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY works. Loosely speaking,a function that reverses what a given function f does is called its inverse function, and is usually denoted by f−1 . More formally, two functions f and g are inverse functions if g(f(x)) = x for any x in the domain of f, and f(g(x)) = x for any x in the domain of g. We denote the inverse function of a function f by f−1 . The graphs of a function and its inverse function are symmetric with respect to the line y = x. In this lesson, we first restrict the domain of each trigonometric function because each of them is not one-to-one. We then define each respective inverse function and evaluate the values of each inverse trigonometric function. 3.7.1. Inverse Sine Function All the trigonometric functions that we consider are periodic over their entire domains. This means that all trigonometric functions are not one-to-one if we consider their whole domains, which implies that they have no inverses over those sets. But there is a way to make each of the trigonometric functions one-to-one. This is done by restricting their respective domains. The restrictions will give us well-defined inverse trigonometric functions. The domain of the sine function is the set R of real numbers, and its range is the closed interval [−1, 1]. As observed in the previous lessons, the sine function is not one-to-one, and the first step is to restrict its domain (by agreeing what the convention is) with the following conditions: (1) the sine function is one-to-one in that restricted domain, and (2) the range remains the same. The inverse of the (restricted) sine function f(x) = sin x, where the domain is restricted to the closed interval −π 2 , π 2 , is called the inverse sine function or arcsine function, denoted by f−1 (x) = sin−1 x or f−1 (x) = arcsin x. Here, the domain of f−1 (x) = arcsin x is [−1, 1], and its range is −π 2 , π 2 . Thus, y = sin−1 x or y = arcsin x if and only if sin y = x, where −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and −π 2 ≤ y ≤ π 2 . Throughout the lesson, we interchangeably use sin−1 x and arcsin x to mean the inverse sine function. 202 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 3.7.1. Findthe exact value of each expression. (1) sin−1 1 2 (2) arcsin(−1) (3) arcsin 0 (4) sin−1 −1 2 Solution. (1) Let θ = sin−1 1 2 . This is equivalent to sin θ = 1 2 . This means that we are looking for the number θ in the closed interval −π 2 , π 2 whose sine is 1 2 . We get θ = π 6 . Thus, we have sin−1 1 2 = π 6 . (2) arcsin(−1) = −π 2 because sin −π 2 = −1 and −π 2 ∈ −π 2 , π 2 . (3) arcsin 0 = 0 (4) sin−1 −1 2 = −π 6 2 As emphasized in the last example, as long as −1 ≤ x ≤ 1, sin−1 x is that number y ∈ −π 2 , π 2 such that sin y = x. If |x| > 1, then sin−1 x is not defined in R. We can sometimes find the exact value of sin−1 x (that is, we can find a value in terms of π), but if no such special value exists, then we leave it in the form sin−1 x. For example, as shown above, sin−1 1 2 is equal to π 6 . However, as studied in Lesson 3.2, no special number θ satisfies sin θ = 2 3 , so we leave sin−1 2 3 as is. Example 3.7.2. Find the exact value of each expression. (1) sin sin−1 1 2 (2) arcsin sin π 3 (3) arcsin(sin π) (4) sin sin−1 −1 2 Solution. (1) sin sin−1 1 2 = sin π 6 = 1 2 (2) arcsin sin π 3 = arcsin √ 3 2 = π 3 (3) arcsin(sin π) = arcsin 0 = 0 (4) sin sin−1 −1 2 = sin −π 6 = −1 2 2 From the last example, we have the following observations: 1. sin(arcsin x) = x for any x ∈ [−1, 1]; and 2. arcsin(sin θ) = θ if and only if θ ∈ −π 2 , π 2 , and if θ ∈ −π 2 , π 2 , then arcsin(sin θ) = ϕ, where ϕ ∈ −π 2 , π 2 such that sin ϕ = sin θ. To sketch the graph of y = sin−1 x, Table 3.32 presents the tables of values for y = sin x and y = sin−1 x. Recall that the graphs of y = sin x and y = sin−1 x are symmetric with respect to the line y = x. This means that if a point (a, b) is on y = sin x, then (b, a) is on y = sin−1 x. 203 All rights reserved.

Using the Sine Sum Identity, we have sin arcsin 2 3 + arccos 1 2 = sin arcsin 2 3 + π 3 = sin arcsin 2 3 cos π 3 + cos arcsin 2 3 sin π 3 = 2 3 · 1 2 + cos arcsin 2 3 · √ 3 2 = 1 3 + √ 3 2 cos arcsin 2 3 . We compute cos arcsin 2 3 . Let θ = arcsin 2 3 . By definition, sin θ = 2 3 , where θ lies in QI. Using the Pythagorean identity, we have cos arcsin 2 3 = cos θ = 1 − sin2 θ = √ 5 3 .

    D EPED C O PY We graph firsty = 1 2 cos(4x). The domain of this graph comes from the restriction of cosine as follows: 0 ≤ 4x ≤ π =⇒ 0 ≤ x ≤ π 4 . Then reflect this graph with respect to y = x, and we finally obtain the graph of y = 1 4 cos−1 (2x) (solid line). In the last example, we may also use the following technique. In graphing y = 1 4 cos−1 (2x), the horizontal length of cos−1 x is reduced to half, while the vertical height is reduced to quarter. This comparison technique is shown in the graph below with the graph of y = cos−1 x in dashed line and the graph of y = 1 4 cos−1 (2x) in solid line. 3.7.3.

Using the Double-Angle Identity for Cosine and one of the Fundamental Idenity, we have cos 2 cos−1 2 5 = cos(2θ) = 2 cos2 θ − 1 = 2 2 5 2 − 1 = 8 25 − 1 = − 17 25 and sin cos−1 2 5 = sin θ = √ 1 − cos2 θ = 1 − 4 25 = √ 21 5 . Here, sin θ ≥ 0 because θ ∈ [0, π]. 8. Graph: y = 1 + cos−1 x Solution: The graph can be obtained by translating the graph of the inverse cosine function one unit upward. 217 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY values of thevariable in the domain of the equation, while a conditional equation is an equation that is not an identity. In this lesson, we mostly study conditional trigonometric equations. Though not explicitly, we have started it in the preceding lesson. For example, the equa- tion sin x = 1 2 has the unique solution x = sin−1 1 2 = π 6 in the closed interval −π 2 , π 2 . However, if we consider the entire domain (not the restricted domain) of the sine function, which is the set R of real numbers, there are solutions (other than π 6 ) of the equation sin x = 1 2 . This current lesson explores the techniques of solving (conditional) trigonometric equations. We divide the lesson into two groups of equations: the ones using a basic way of solving, and those using more advanced techniques. 3.8.1. Solutions of a Trigonometric Equation Any equation that involves trigonometric expressions is called a trigonometric equation. Recall that a solution or a root of an equation is a number in the domain of the equation that, when substituted to the variable, makes the equation true. The set of all solutions of an equation is called the solution set of the equation. Technically, the basic method to show that a particular number is a solution of an equation is to substitute the number to the variable and see if the equation becomes true. However, we may use our knowledge gained from the previous lessons to do a quicker verification process by not doing the manual substitution and checking. We use this technique in the example. Example 3.8.1. Which numbers in the set 0, π 6 , π 4 , π 3 , π 2 , 2π 3 , 3π 4 , 5π 6 , π, 2π are solutions to the following equations? (1) sin x = 1 2 (2) tan x = 1 (3) 3 sec x = −2 √ 3 (4) √ 3| cot x| = 1 (5) sec2 x − tan2 x = 1 (6) sin x + cos x = 0 (7) cos2 x = cos 2x + sin2 x (8) sin x + cos 2x = 0 (9) 2 sin x + tan x − 2 cos x = 2 (10) sin2 x + cos2 x = 2 (11) sin 2x = sin x (12) 2 tan x + 4 sin x = 2 + sec x Solution. Note that the choices (except 2π) are numbers within the interval [0, π]. To quickly determine which numbers among the choices are solutions to a par- ticular equation, we use some distinctive properties of the possible solutions. (1) The sine function is positive on (0, π). From Lesson 3.2, we recall that π 6 is an obvious solution. We may imagine the graph of y = sin x. We may also use the idea of reference angle. Thus, among the choices, only π 6 and 5π 6 are the only solutions of sin x = 1 2 . 221 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (2) Since tanx = 1 > 0, any solution of the equation among the choices must be in the interval 0, π 2 (that is, in QI). Again, among the choices, the only solution to tan x = 1 is π 4 . (3) Here, the given equation is equivalent to sec x = −2 √ 3 3 . Among the choices, the only solution of the equation 3 sec x = −2 √ 3 is 5π 6 . (4) Eliminating the absolute value sign, the given equation is equivalent to cot x =√ 3 3 or cot x = − √ 3 3 . Among the choices, the only solution of cot x = √ 3 3 is π 3 , while the other equation has 2π 3 . Thus, the only solutions of √ 3| cot x| = 1 from the given set are π 3 and 2π 3 . (5) The given equation is one of the Pythagorean Identities (page 175). It means that all numbers in the domain of the equation are solutions. The domain of the equation is R {x : cos x = 0}. Thus, all except π 2 are solutions of sec2 x − tan2 x = 1. (6) For the sum of sin x and cos x to be 0, they must have equal absolute values but different signs. Among the choices, only 3π 4 satisfies these properties, and it is the only solution of sin x + cos x = 0. (7) This equations is one of the Double-Angle Identities for Cosine. This means that all numbers in the domain of the equation are its solutions. Because the domain of the given equation is R, all numbers in the given set are solutions of cos2 x = cos 2x + sin2 x. (8) We substitute each number in the choices to the expression on the left-side of the equation, and select those numbers that give resulting values equal to 1. x = 0: sin 0 + cos 2(0) = 0 + 1 = 1 x = π 6 : sin π 6 + cos 2(π 6 ) = 1 2 + 1 2 = 1 x = π 4 : sin π 4 + cos 2(π 4 ) = √ 2 2 + 0 = √ 2 2 x = π 3 : sin π 3 + cos 2(π 3 ) = √ 3 2 − 1 2 = √ 3−1 2 x = π 2 : sin π 2 + cos 2(π 2 ) = 1 − 1 = 0 x = 2π 3 : sin 2π 3 + cos 2(2π 3 ) = √ 3 2 − 1 2 = √ 3−1 2 x = 3π 4 : sin 3π 4 + cos 2(3π 4 ) = √ 2 2 + 0 = √ 2 2 x = 5π 6 : sin 5π 6 + cos 2(5π 6 ) = 1 2 + 1 2 = 1 x = π: sin π + cos 2π = 0 + 1 = 1 x = 2π: sin 2π + cos 2(2π) = 0 + 1 = 1 222 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY From these values,the only solution of sin x + cos 2x = 0 among the choices is π 2 . (9) We again substitute the numbers in the given set one by one, and see which resulting values are equal to 1. x = 0: 2 sin 0 + tan 0 − 2 cos 0 = −2 x = π 6 : 2 sin π 6 + tan π 6 − 2 cos π 6 = 3−2 √ 3 3 x = π 4 : 2 sin π 4 + tan π 4 − 2 cos π 4 = 1 x = π 3 : 2 sin π 3 + tan π 3 − 2 cos π 3 = 2 √ 3 − 1 x = π 2 : Since tan π 2 is undefined, this value of x cannot be a solution of the equation. x = 2π 3 : 2 sin 2π 3 + tan 2π 3 − 2 cos 2π 3 = 1 x = 3π 4 : 2 sin 3π 4 + tan 3π 4 − 2 cos 3π 4 = 2 √ 2 − 1 x = 5π 6 : 2 sin 5π 6 + tan 5π 6 − 2 cos 5π 6 = 3+2 √ 3 3 x = π: 2 sin π + tan π − 2 cos π = 2 x = 2π: 2 sin 2π + tan 2π − 2 cos 2π = −2 Thus, the only solution of 2 sin x+tan x−2 cos x = 2 from the given set is π. (10) This equation has no solution because one of the Pythagorean Identities says sin2 x + cos2 x = 1. (11) We substitute each number in the given set to the expression of each side of the equation, and see which resulting values are equal. x = 0: sin 2(0) = 0; sin 0 = 0 x = π 6 : sin 2(π 6 ) = √ 3 2 ; sin π 6 = 1 2 x = π 4 : sin 2(π 4 ) = 1; sin π 4 = √ 2 2 x = π 3 : sin 2(π 3 ) = √ 3 2 ; sin π 3 = √ 3 2 x = π 2 : sin 2(π 2 ) = 0; sin π 2 = 1 x = 3π 4 : sin 2(3π 4 ) = −1; sin 3π 4 = √ 2 2 x = 5π 6 : sin 2(5π 6 ) = − √ 3 2 ; sin π 3 = 1 2 x = π: sin 2π = 0; sin π = 0 x = 2π: sin 2(2π) = 0; sin 2π = 0 Thus, among the numbers in the given set, the solutions of sin 2x = sin x are 0, π 3 , π, and 2π. 223 All rights reserved.

Equations with One Term From the preceding discussion, you may observe that there may be more solutions of a given equation outside the given set. We now find all solutions of a given equation. We will start with a group of equations having straightforward techniques in finding their solutions. These simple techniques involve at least one of the following ideas: 224 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (1) equivalent equations(that is, equations that have the same solutions as the original equation); (2) periodicity of the trigonometric function involved; (3) inverse trigonometric function; (4) values of the trigonometric function involved on the interval [0, π] or [0, 2π] (depending on the periodicity of the function); and (5) Zero-Factor Law: ab = 0 if and only if a = 0 or b = 0. To “solve an equation” means to find all solutions of the equation. Here, unless stated as angles measured in degrees, we mean solutions of the equation that are real numbers (or equivalently, angles measured in radians). Example 3.8.2. Solve the equation 2 cos x − 1 = 0. Solution. The given equation is equivalent to cos x = 1 2 . On the interval [0, 2π], there are only two solutions of the last equation, and these are x = π 3 (this is in QI) and x = 5π 3 (in QIV). Because the period of cosine function is 2π, the complete solutions of the equation are x = π 3 + k(2π) and x = 5π 3 + k(2π) for all integers k. 2 In the preceding example, by saying that the “complete solutions are x = π 3 + k(2π) and x = 5π 3 + k(2π) for all integers k,” we mean that any integral value of k will produce a solution to the given equation. For example, when k = 3, x = π 3 + 3(2π) = 19π 3 is a solution of the equation. When k = −2, x = 5π 3 + (−2)(2π) = −7π 3 is another solution of 2 cos x − 1 = 0. The family of solutions x = π 3 + k(2π) can be equivalently enumerated as x = 19π 3 + 2kπ, while the family x = 5π 3 + k(2π) can also be stated as x = −7π 3 + 2kπ. Example 3.8.3. Solve: (1 + cos θ)(tan θ − 1) = 0. Solution. By the Zero-Factor Law, the given equation is equivalent to 1 + cos θ = 0 or tan θ − 1 = 0 cos θ = −1 tan θ = 1 θ = π + 2kπ, k ∈ Z θ = π 4 + kπ, k ∈ Z. Therefore, the solutions of the equation are θ = π + 2kπ and θ = π 4 + kπ for all k ∈ Z. 2 225 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Example 3.8.4. Findall values of x in the interval [−2π, 2π] that satisfy the equation (sin x − 1)(sin x + 1) = 0. Solution. sin x − 1 = 0 or sin x + 1 = 0 sin x = 1 sin x = −1 x = π 2 or − 3π 2 x = 3π 2 or − π 2 Solutions: π 2 , −3π 2 , 3π 2 , −π 2 2 Example 3.8.5. Solve: cos x = 0.1. Solution. There is no special number whose cosine is 0.1. However, because 0.1 ∈ [−1, 1], there is a number whose cosine is 0.1. In fact, in any one-period interval, with cos x = 0.1 > 0, we expect two solutions: one in QI and another in QIV. We use the inverse cosine function. From Lesson 3.7, one particular solution of cos x = 0.1 in QI is x = cos−1 0.1. We can use this solution to get a particular solution in QIV, and this is x = 2π − cos−1 0.1, which is equivalent to x = − cos−1 0.1. From the above particular solutions, we can produce all solutions of cos x = 0.1, and these are x = cos−1 0.1+2kπ and x = − cos−1 0.1+2kπ for all k ∈ Z. 2 Example 3.8.6. Solve: 3 tan θ + 5 = 0. Solution. 3 tan θ + 5 = 0 =⇒ tan θ = −5 3 We expect only one solution in any one-period interval. tan θ = −5 3 =⇒ θ = tan−1 −5 3 + kπ, k ∈ Z 2 Example 3.8.7.

(1) We solve for the least positive value of t such that V (t) = 300. 200 + 170 sin(120πt) = 300 sin(120πt) = 100 170 226 All rights reserved.

We know that the maximum value of sin(120πt) is 1, and it follows that the maximum value of V (t) is 370 volts. Thus, we need to solve for all values of t such that sin(120πt) = 1. sin(120πt) = 1 120πt = π 2 + 2kπ, k nonnegative integer t = π 2 + 2kπ 120π t = 1 2 + 2k 120 ≈ 0.00417 + 0.017k This means that the voltage is maximum when t ≈ 0.00417+0.017k for each nonnegative integer k. 2 3.8.3. Equations with Two or More Terms We will now consider a group of equations having multi-step techniques of finding their solutions. Coupled with the straightforward techniques we learned in the preceding discussion, these more advanced techniques involve factoring of expres- sions and trigonometric identities. The primary goal is to reduce a given equation into equivalent one-term equations. Example 3.8.8. Solve: 2 cos x tan x = 2 cos x. Solution. 2 cos x tan x = 2 cos x 2 cos x tan x − 2 cos x = 0 (2 cos x)(tan x − 1) = 0 2 cos x = 0 or tan x − 1 = 0 cos x = 0 tan x = 1 x = π 2 + 2kπ or x = 3π 2 + 2kπ, k ∈ Z x = π 4 + kπ, k ∈ Z Solutions: π 2 + 2kπ, 3π 2 + 2kπ, π 4 + kπ, k ∈ Z 2 227 All rights reserved.

(2) If the equation is quadratic in form, we may use factoring, finding square roots, or the quadratic formula. (3) Rewrite the equation to have 0 on one side, and then factor (if appropriate) the expression on the other side. (4) If the equation contains more than one trigonometric function, try to express everything in terms of one trigonometric function. Here, identities are useful. (5) If half or multiple angles are present, express them in terms of a trigonometric expression of a single angle, except when all angles involved have the same multiplicity wherein, in this case, retain the angle. Half-angle and double-angle identities are useful in simplification. Example 3.8.10. Solve for x ∈ [0, 2π): 2 cos2 x = 1 + sin x.

In the equation sin x = −1 3 , we expect two solutions in the interval [0, 2π): one in (π, 3π 2 ) (which is QIII), and another in (3π 2 , 2π) (which is QIV). Since no special number satisfies sin x = −1 3 , we use inverse sine function. Because the range of sin−1 is [−π 2 , π 2 ], we know that −π 2 < sin−1 (−1 3 ) < 0. From this value, to get the solution in (3π 2 , 2π), we simply add 2π to this value, resulting to x = sin−1 (−1 3 ) + 2π. On the other hand, to get the solution in (π, 3π 2 ), we simply add − sin−1 (−1 3 ) to π, resulting to x = π − sin−1 (−1 3 ). Example 3.8.12. Solve: sin2 x + 5 cos2 x 2 = 2.

    D EPED C O PY (1) At whattime is the displacement of the weight 5 cm below its central position for the first time? (2) For what values of t does the weight reach its farthest point below its central position? Solution. (1) We find the least positive value of t such that f(t) = −5. 20 cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 = −5 cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 = −1 4 There are two families of solutions for this equation. • 4 5 π t − 5 6 = cos−1 −1 4 + 2kπ, k ∈ Z t = 5 6 + cos−1 (− 1 4 )+2kπ 4 5 π In this family of solutions, the least positive value of t happens when k = 0, and this is t = 5 6 + cos−1 −1 4 + 2(0)π 4 5 π ≈ 1.5589. • 4 5 π t − 5 6 = 2π − cos−1 −1 4 + 2kπ, k ∈ Z t = 5 6 + 2π−cos−1 (− 1 4 )+2kπ 4 5 π Here, the least positive value of t happens when k = −1, and this is t = 5 6 + 2π − cos−1 −1 4 + 2(−1)π 4 5 π ≈ 0.1078. Therefore, the first time that the displacement of the weight is 5 cm below its central position is at about 0.1078 seconds. (2) The minimum value of f(t) happens when and only when the minimum value of cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 is reached. The minimum value of cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 is −1, which implies that the farthest point the weight can reach below its central position is 20 cm. Thus, we need to solve for all values of t such that cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 = −1. cos 4 5 π t − 5 6 = −1 4 5 π t − 5 6 = cos−1 (−1) + 2kπ, k ≥ 0 4 5 π t − 5 6 = π + 2kπ t = 5 6 + π+2kπ 4 5 π = 25 12 + 5 2 k Therefore, the weight reaches its farthest point (which is 20 cm) below its central position at t = 25 12 + 5 2 k for every integer k ≥ 0. 2 231 All rights reserved.

(b) Note that cos π 6 = √ 3 2 and sin π 6 = 1 2 . Thus, cot π 6 = √ 3. So, x = π 6 is a solution. (c) Since sec θ = −1 if and only if cos θ = −1, a particular solution of the equation in 3x is π, that is, 3x = π. Hence, x = π 3 is a solution. (d) Note that csc 3π 2 = −1. So, csc2 3π 2 = 1. As a consequence, csc2 3π 2 − csc 3π 2 − 2 = 1 − (−1) − 2 = 0. (e) x = π 2 is a solution. (f) Because cos x must not be more than 1, then the equation has no solution. 2.

Solution: Note that the equation is quadratic in form, so we can apply tech- niques in solving quadratic equations. For this case, we factor the expression on the left and obtain, (2 cos x − 1)(2 cos x + 1) = 0. Consequently, we have cos x = 1/2 or cos x = −1/2. The first equation have solutions of the form (π/3 + 2kπ) or (5π/3 + 2kπ) where k ∈ Z, while the second equation have solutions of the form (2π/3 + 2kπ) or (4π/3 + 2kπ). Combining the two solu- tions, one observes that the solution set of the original equation may be given by π 3 , 2π 3 , 4π 3 , 5π 3 , 7π 3 , ... .

    D EPED C O PY 8. If x∈ [0, 2π), solve the equation 2 sin2 x = √ 3 sin x. Solution: First, we write the equation as 2 sin2 x − √ 3 sin x = 0. Then, we factor out sin x and get sin x(2 sin x − √ 3) = 0 =⇒ sin x = 0 or sin x = √ 3/2. The first of these equations has solutions x = 0 and x = π, while the second has solutions x = π/3 and 2π/3. The solutions of the original equation is the union of the two, i.e., the solution set is {0, π, π 3 , 2π 3 }. 9. Solve 2 cos2 x + 5 cos x − 3 = 0, where x ∈ [0, 2π). Solution: By factoring the left hand side of the given equation, we get (2 cos x− 1)(cos x + 3) = 0. This gives us two equations, namely cos x = 1 2 and cos x = −3. First, we remark that the second equation does not have a solution because cos x should be more than or equal to -1. Hence, the solution of the first equation is the solution of the original equation. Thus, the solution set is {π 3 , 5π 3 }. 10. Determine the solution set of the equation cos 2x = sin x on [0, 2π). Solution: Combining the equation cos 2x = sin x with the cosine double-angle identity cos 2x = 1 − 2 sin2 x, we get sin x = 1 − 2 sin2 x. This is equivalent to 2 sin2 x + sin x − 1 = 0 =⇒ (2 sin x − 1)(sin x + 1) = 0 =⇒ sin x = 1/2 and sin x = −1. The solutions of the first equation is x = π/6 and x = 5π/6. The number x = 3π/2 is the solution of the second equation. Therefore, the solution set of the original equation is {π 6 , 5π 6 , 3π 2 }. 11. Solve cos x = cos 2x, for x ∈ [0, 2π). Solution: cos x = cos 2x ⇒ cos x = 2 cos2 x − 1 ⇒ 0 = 2 cos2 x − cos x − 1 ⇒ 0 = (2 cos x + 1)(cos x − 1). 234 All rights reserved.

For 2 cos x+1 = 0 which is the same as cos x = −1/2, the solutions in the given interval are x = 2π/3, 4π/3. For cos x = 1, the solution is x = 0. Therefore, the solution set of the original equation is {0, 2π 3 , 4π 3 }. 12. A lighthouse at sea level is 34 mi from a boat. It is known that the top of the lighthouse is 42.5 mi from the boat and that x = r cos θ, where x is the horizontal distance, r is the distance of the top of the lighthouse from the boat, and θ is the angle of depression from the top of lighthouse. Find θ. Solution: x = r cos θ =⇒ cos θ = x r = 34 42.5 = 4 5 =⇒ θ = cos−1 4 5 ≈ 0.6435 (or 36.87◦ ). For this case, we used a calculator to find the value of the unknown variable θ since 4 5 is not a special value for cosine. 13. Three cities, A, B, and C, are positioned in a triangle as seen in the figure below. It is known that City A is 140 mi from City C, while City B is 210 mi from City C. Cities A and B are 70 √ 7 mi apart. Also, by the Cosine Law, we have z2 = x2 + y2 − 2xy cos γ where x, y, and z are the respective distances of BC, AC, AB, and γ = m∠ACB. Find γ. Solution: Substituting the corresponding values of x, y, and z, the problem is now equivalent to solving the equation 34300 = 44100 + 19600 − 58800 cos γ ⇒ −29400 = −58800 cos γ ⇒ 1 2 = cos γ ⇒ π 3 = γ. 235 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Lesson Outline (1) Polarcoordinate system: pole and polar axis (2) Polar coordinates of a point and its location (3) Conversion from polar to rectangular coordinates, and vice versa (4) Simple graphs and applications Introduction Two-dimensional coordinate systems are used to describe a point in a plane. We previously used the Cartesian or rectangular coordinate system to locate a point in the plane. That point is denoted by (x, y), where x is the signed dis- tance of the point from the y-axis, and y is the signed distance of the point from the x-axis. We sketched the graphs of equations (lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, and hyperbolas) and functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, log- arithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric) in the Cartesian coordinate plane. However, it is often convenient to locate a point based on its distance from a fixed point and its angle with respect to a fixed ray. Not all equations can be graphed easily using Cartesian coordinates. In this lesson, we also use another coordinate system, which can be presented in dartboard-like plane as shown below. 3.9.1. Polar Coordinates of a Point We now introduce the polar coordinate system. It is composed of a fixed point called the pole (which is the origin in the Cartesian coordinate system) and a 237 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY fixed ray calledthe polar axis (which is the nonnegative x-axis). In the polar coordinate system, a point is described by the ordered pair (r, θ). The radial coordinate r refers to the directed distance of the point from the pole. The angular coordinate θ refers to a directed angle (usually in radians) from the polar axis to the segment joining the point and the pole. Because a point in polar coordinate system is described by an order pair of radial coordinate and angular coordinate, it will be more convenient to geomet- rically present the system in a polar plane, which serves just like the Cartesian plane. In the polar plane shown below, instead of rectangular grids in the Carte- sian plane, we have concentric circles with common center at the pole to identify easily the distance from the pole (radial coordinate) and angular rays emanating from the pole to show the angles from the polar axis (angular coordinate). 238 All rights reserved.

Plotthe following points in one polar plane: A(3, π 3 ), B(1, 5π 6 ), C(2, 7π 6 ), D(4, 19π 12 ), E(3, −π), F(4, −7π 6 ), G(2.5, 17π 4 ), H(4, 17π 6 ), and I(3, −5π 3 ). Solution. As seen in the last example, unlike in Cartesian plane where a point has a unique Cartesian coordinate representation, a point in polar plane have infinitely many polar coordinate representations. For example, the coordinates (3, 4) in the Cartesian plane refer to exactly one point in the plane, and this particular point has no rectangular coordinate representations other than (3, 4). However, the coordinates (3, π 3 ) in the polar plane also refer to exactly one point, but this point has other polar coordinate representations. For example, the polar coordinates (3, −5π 3 ), (3, 7π 3 ), (3, 13π 3 ), and (3, 19π 3 ) all refer to the same point as that of (3, π 3 ). The polar coordinates (r, θ + 2kπ), where k ∈ Z, represent the same point as that of (r, θ). In polar coordinate system, it is possible for the coordinates (r, θ) to have a negative value of r. In this case, the point is |r| units from the pole in the opposite direction of the terminal side of θ, as shown in Figure 3.41. 239 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY Points in PolarCoordinates 1. For any θ, the polar coordinates (0, θ) represent the pole. 2. A point with polar coordinates (r, θ) can also be represented by (r, θ + 2kπ) or (−r, θ + π + 2kπ) for any integer k. 3.9.2. From Polar to Rectangular, and Vice Versa We now have two ways to describe points on a plane – whether to use the Carte- sian coordinates (x, y) or the polar coordinates (r, θ). We now derive the conver- sion from one of these coordinate systems to the other. We superimpose the Cartesian and polar planes, as shown in the following diagram. Figure 3.42 Suppose a point P is represented by the polar coordinates (r, θ). From Lesson 3.2 (in particular, the boxed definition on page 139), we know that x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ.

Although we can actually determine all of them, we only need to know one of them and we can choose r ≥ 0. Suppose a point P is represented by the rectangular coordinates (x, y). Re- ferring back to Figure 3.42, the equation of the circle is x2 + y2 = r2 =⇒ r = x2 + y2. We now determine θ. If x = y = 0, then r = 0 and the point is the pole. The pole has coordinates (0, θ), where θ is any real number. If x = 0 and y = 0, then we may choose θ to be either π 2 or 3π 2 (or their equivalents) depending on whether y > 0 or y < 0, respectively. Now, suppose x = 0. From the boxed definition again on page 139, we know that tan θ = y x , where θ is an angle in standard position whose terminal side passes through the point (x, y).

Basic Polar Graphs and Applications From the preceding session, we learned how to convert polar coordinates of a point to rectangular and vice versa using the following conversion formulas: r2 = x2 + y2 , tan θ = y x , x = r cos θ, and y = r sin θ. Because a graph is composed of points, we can identify the graphs of some equa- tions in terms of r and θ. Graph of a Polar Equation The polar graph of an equation involving r and θ is the set of all points with polar coordinates (r, θ) that satisfy the equation. As a quick illustration, the polar graph of the equation r = 2−2 sin θ consists of all points (r, θ) that satisfy the equation. Some of these points are (2, 0), (1, π 6 ), (0, π 2 ), (2, π), and (4, 3π 2 ). Example 3.9.5. Identify the polar graph of r = 2, and sketch its graph in the polar plane. Solution. Squaring the equation, we get r2 = 4. Because r2 = x2 + y2 , we have x2 +y2 = 4, which is a circle of radius 2 and with center at the origin. Therefore, the graph of r = 2 is a circle of radius 2 with center at the pole, as shown below. 244 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY In the previousexample, instead of using the conversion formula r2 = x2 +y2 , we may also identify the graph of r = 2 by observing that its graph consists of points (2, θ) for all θ. In other words, the graph consists of all points with radial distance 2 from the pole as θ rotates around the polar plane. Therefore, the graph of r = 2 is indeed a circle of radius 2 as shown. Example 3.9.6. Identify and sketch the polar graph of θ = −5π 4 . Solution. The graph of θ = −5π 4 consists of all points (r, −5π 4 ) for r ∈ R. If r > 0, then points (r, −5π 4 ) determine a ray from the pole with angle −5π 4 from the polar axis. If r = 0, then (0, −5π 4 ) is the pole. If r < 0, then the points (r, −5π 4 ) determine a ray in opposite direction to that of r > 0. Therefore, the graph of θ = −5π 4 is a line passing through the pole and with angle −5π 4 with respect to the polar axis, as shown below. Example 3.9.7. Identify (and describe) the graph of the equation r = 4 sin θ. Solution. r = 4 sin θ r2 = 4r sin θ x2 + y2 = 4y x2 + y2 − 4y = 0 x2 + (y − 2)2 = 4 Therefore, the graph of r = 4 sin θ is a circle of radius 2 and with center at (2, π 2 ). 245 All rights reserved.

Thesound-pickup capability of a certain brand of microphone is described by the polar equation r = −4 cos θ, where |r| gives the sensitivity of the microphone to a sound coming from an angle θ (in radians). (1) Identify and sketch the graph of the polar equation. (2) Sound coming from what angle θ ∈ [0, π] is the microphone most sensitive to? Least sensitive? Solution.

    D EPED C O PY 3. Convert thefollowing polar points to Cartesian coordinates. (a) (5, 5π/4) to Cartesian coordinates (b) (−2, 3π/4) to Cartesian coordinates (c) (π, π) (d) (0, 10) Solution: (a) Using the conversion formulas with r = 5 and θ = 5π/4, we get x = r cos θ = 5 cos(5π/4) = −5 √ 2/2 and y = r sin θ = 5 sin(5π/4) = −5 √ 2/2. Therefore, (5, 5π/4) in Cartesian coordinate is(−5 √ 2/2, −5 √ 2/2). (b) Using the conversion formulas with r = −2 and θ = 5 = 3π/4, we get x = r cos θ = −2 cos(3π/4) = 2 √ 2/2 and y = r sin θ = −2 sin(3π/4) = −2 √ 2/2. Therefore, (−2, 3π/4) in Cartesian coordinate is (2 √ 2/2, −2 √ 2/2). (c) Notice here that π is used in two different ways. First is π, with numerical value approximately equal to −3.14, is used as a radius and second, as an angle equivalent to 180◦ . That is, the point is in the negative x-axis π units away from the origin. Hence, the Cartesian coordinate of (π, π) is (−π, 0). (d) Since the radius is 0, then the polar point (0, 10) is the origin with Cartesian coordinate (0, 0). 4. Convert the following Cartesian points to polar coordinates. (a) (5, −5) (b) (−3, √ 3) (c) (−5 √ 3, −15) (d) (8, 0) Solution: (a) The point (x, y) = (5, −5) is in the fourth quadrant. Using the conversion formulas, we get r = x2 + y2 = 52 + (−5)2 = 5 √ 2 and θ = tan−1 (y/x) = tan−1 (−1) = −π/4. Therefore, (5, −5) in polar coordinate is (5 √ 2, −π/4). 249 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (b) Similarly, weuse the conversion formulas to get r = (−3)2 + ( √ 3)2 = √ 12 = 2 √ 3 and θ = tan−1 [ √ 3/(−3)] = −π/6. Note that the point is in the second quadrant so we must use −pi 6 + π. There- fore, (−3, √ 3) in polar coordinate is (2 √ 3, 5π/6). (c) The point is in the third quadrant. r = (−5 √ 3)2 + (−15)2 = √ 300 = 10 √ 3 and tan θ = −15/(−5 √ 3) ⇒ θ = 4π/3. Therefore, (−5 √ 3, −15) in polar coordinate is (10 √ 3, 4π/3). (d) Using the conversion formula, one can show that the point (8, 0) in polar coordinate is also (8, 0). 5. Identify (and describe) the graph of the equation r = 4 sin θ. Using a graphing software, graph the following equations. (a) r = 2 sin θ (b) r = −5 (c) θ = 2r (d) r = 2 − 2 cos θ Solution: (a) r = 2 sin θ is a circle with radius 1 centered at (1, π 2 ). (b) r = −5 is a standard circle with radius 5. (c) Notice that as θ increases, the r also increases. The graph of θ = 2r is a spiral rotating counter-clockwise from the pole. (d) The graph of r = 2 − 2 cos θ is a cardioid. (a) (b) 250 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY (c) (d) 6. Aboy is flying a kite with an angle of elevation of 60◦ from where he stands. What is the direct distance of the kite from him, if the the kite is 6 ft above the ground? Solution: The problem can be illustrated as follows: Here, r (in ft) is the distance of the kite from the boy and θ is the angle of depression. To solve for r, we apply the formula y = r sin θ. Thus, r = y/ sin θ = 6/ sin(60◦ ) = 6/( √ 3/2) = 12/ √ 3 = 4 √ 3. Therefore, the kite is 4 √ 3 ft away from the boy. 251 All rights reserved.

The center is (−9, 10) and c = 12. We see that the given point (−9, 15) is a covertex, so b = 5. Then a = √ 52 + 122 = 13. Therefore, the equation is (x + 9)2 169 + (y − 10)2 25 = 1. 11. Since the major axis is vertical, the center has the same x coordinate as the focus and the same y coordinate as the covertex; that is, the center is (−9, 10). Then c = 5, b = 10, and a2 = 125. Therefore, the equation is (x + 9)2 100 + (y − 10)2 125 = 1. 13. Recall that the unit is 100 km. The vertices of the ellipse are at (3633, 0) and (−4055, 0).

We havethe system    x2 + (y − 6)2 = 36 x2 = 4ky, where the first equation is a circle above the x-axis, tangent to the x-axis at x = 0, and the second equation is a parabola facing up/down, depending on k. Substituting the second equation in the first equation yields y2 +(4k−12)y = 0. Note that y = 0 is already a root. We now consider two cases. If k > 0, the system might have one or two solutions. To ensure that the solution is unique, we set the discriminant to be nonpositive: 4k − 12 ≤ 0 ⇒ k ≥ 3. If k ≤ 0, the system will always have a unique solution. Thus k ∈ (−∞, 0] ∪ (3, +∞). 1. (a) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 are equal, the graph is a circle, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to x − 1 2 2 + y + 3 2 2 = 4. Hence, the graph is a circle with center (0.5, −1.5) and radius 2. (b) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2 = 14(y + 4). Hence, the graph has vertex at (−2, −4) and is opening upward. (c) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 are of opposite signs, the graph is a hyperbola or a pair of intersecting lines. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (x − 7)2 4 − (y + 3)2 3 = 1. Hence, the graph is a horizontal hyperbola with center at (7, −3). (d) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 have the same sign and are unequal, the graph is an ellipse, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (x − 8)2 2 + y2 7 = 0. Hence, the graph is the point (8, 0). 265 Topic Test 1 for Unit 1 (page 78) All rights reserved.

Multiplying the first equation by 2, we get 2(x − 1)2 + 2(y + 1)2 = 10. By subtracting the second equation from this new equation, we get the equation 2(y + 1)2 + 8 = 10 − y. This has solutions y = 0 and y = −5/2. When y = 0, the corresponding x values are 3 and −1. When y = −5/2, the corresponding x values are ± √ 11 2 + 1. Therefore, the solutions are (−1, 0), (3, 0), ± √ 11 2 + 1, −5 2 . 266 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 5. Set upa coordinate system by making the center of the door’s base the origin. Then the ellipse has center (0, 2) with a = 1/2 and b = 0.3; then its is equation x2 0.52 + (y−2)2 0.32 = 1. To determine if the cabinet can be pushed through the doorway, we determine the height of the doorway when x = 0.25 (or −0.25). We solve for y from the equation 0.252 0.52 + (y−2)2 0.32 = 1. Solving for the y coordinate, we see that the height is ≈ 2.2598 m. Hence, the cabinet cannot be pushed through the doorway. 6. Let (x, y) be the coordinates of the point. This point satisfies x2 + (y + 1)2 = 2|x − 3|. Manipulating this equation gives us x2 + (y + 1)2 = 4(x2 − 6y + 9) −3(x2 − 8x + 16) + (y + 1)2 = 36 − 48 −3(x − 4)2 + (y + 1)2 = −12 (x − 4)2 4 − (y + 1)2 12 = 1. Therefore, the point traces a horizontal hyperbola with center at (4, −1). 1. (a) By inspection, the graph is a parabola. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (y −5)2 = −8(x−5). Hence, the graph has vertex at (5, 5) and is opening to the left. (b) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 are equal, the graph is a circle, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (x + 5)2 + (y + 9)2 = −4. Hence, the graph is the empty set. (c) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 have the same sign and are unequal, the graph is an ellipse, a point, or the empty set. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (x + 2)2 4 + (y − 1)2 9 = 1. Hence, the graph is a vertical ellipse with center (−2, 1). (d) Since the coefficients of x2 and y2 are of opposite signs, the graph is a hyperbola or a pair of intersecting lines. Completing the squares, we see that the equation is equivalent to (y − 4)2 11 − (x − 6)2 17 = 0. Hence, the graph is a pair of intersecting lines given by the equations y − 4 = ±11 17 (x − 6). 267 Topic Test 2 for Unit 1 (page 79) All rights reserved.

(a) The parabola opens downward and has focal distance c = 5. Its equation is (x − 7)2 = −20(y + 7). (b) Since the ellipse has vertical or horizontal major axis, the center is at either (−1, 12) or (−5, 3). Since the major axis is longer than the minor axis, the center must be at (−5, 3). Then the ellipse is vertical with a = 9 and b = 4. Its equation is (x + 5)2 16 + (y − 3)2 81 = 1. 268 All rights reserved.

    D EPED C O PY 4. Completing thesquares, we see that the first equation is equivalent to 9(x + 3)2 = 4y2 + 36. On the other hand, the second equation is equivalent to 9(x + 3)2 = 36y + 36. Subtracting the second equation from the first, we get 4y2 − 36y = 0, which has solutions y = 0 and y = 9. When y = 0, the corresponding x values are −5 and −1. When y = 9, the corresponding x values are −3 ± 2 √ 10. Therefore, the solutions are (−5, 0), (−1, 0), −3 ± 2 √ 10, 9 . 5. Set up a coordinate system so that the opening of the hose (the parabola’s vertex) is at (0, 3) and that the water flows towards the positive x-axis. Then the x-axis (y = 0) corresponds to the ground; it follows the parabola passes through the point (2, 0). Hence, the equation of the parabola is x2 = −4 3 (y−3). If Nikko stands on a 1.5-ft stool and the vertex remains at (0, 3), the line y = −1.5 will correspond to the ground. Hence, the water will strike the ground when y = −1.5. This gives x = −4 3 (−1.5 − 3) = √ 6. Therefore, the water will travel √ 6 − 2 ft further before striking the ground. 6. Let (x, y) be the coordinates of the point. This point satisfies (x − 2)2 + y2 = 2 3 |y − 5|. Manipulating this equation gives us (x − 2)2 + y2 = 4 9 (y2 − 10y + 25) 9(x − 2)2 + 5(y2 + 8y) = 100 9(x − 2)2 + 5(y + 4)2 = 100 + 80 (x − 2)2 20 + (y + 4)2 36 = 1. Therefore, the point traces a vertical ellipse with center at (2, −4). 1. a3 = a1 +(3−1)d = 35; a10 = a1 +(10−1)d = 77 ⇒ d = 6, a1 = 23 ⇒ a5 = 47. 3. sn = n (2(17) + (n − 1)3) 2 = 30705 ⇒ 3n2 + 31n − 61410 = 0. Using the quadratic formula and noting that n must be a whole number, we have n = 138. 5. We have s = 108 = a1 1 − r and s3 = 112 = a1 (1 − r3 ) 1 − r = 108 (1 − r3 ) ⇒ r = − 1 27 ⇒ a1 = 144. 269 Supplementary Problems 2.1 (page 85) All rights reserved.

Thus, 0.123 = 0.123 1 − 0.001 = 41 333 . 9. We have s4 = 4 (2a1 + (4 − 1)d) 2 = 80 ⇒ 2a1 + 3d = 40. Since the sum of the first two numbers are one-third of the sum of the last two numbers, we have 1 3 (a1 + a2) = a3 + a4 ⇒ 4a1 + 14d = 0. Combining yields d = 10, and thus a1 = 5, a2 = 15, a3 = 25, a4 = 35. 11. Note that this is a geometric series with common ratio 2n − 1. Thus, the sum will have a finite value if |2n − 1| < 1 ⇒ −1 < 2n − 1 < 1 ⇒ 0 < n < 1. Thus, n ∈ (0, 1). 1.
