Test #3 review part 1

Comment due Sunday, April 28

Test #2 will be given in class Wednesday, May 1 (right after spring break). The format will be similar to the format of Test #1 and Test #2.

Recall from Test #1 and Test #2 that one of the questions asked you a series of conceptual true/false questions where you had to justify your answer. Another question asked you for a series of examples of mathematical objects (mostly functions) satisfying certain conditions.

To prepare for Test #3, for this week’s OpenLab assignment, you will comment on this post with two questions that you come up with yourself, as well as their answers.

  1. Your first question should be conceptual and phrased as a statement which is either always true or always false. Your answer should indicate whether the statement is true or false together with a sentence explaining the answer.
  2. Your second question should be asking for an example of a mathematical object satisfying certain conditions. Your answer should provide this example together with together with a sentence explaining the example and why it satisfies the conditions.

You can use the Test #1 and Test #2 questions for inspiration (the different versions of the tests had similar questions, so check out your classmates’ solutions here and here).

Try to focus on the material covered in class since Test #2. You can see the list of topics on the schedule.

    1. When using the Unit circle circle highest degree is 450 degrees. True or False?

    This is a false statement because the unit circle highest degree is 360 because it is a cirlce and it is split up into four quadrants. 90,180,270, and 360.

    2.Does the 2 special triangles really help you find the angles you are looking for through SOH CAH TOA?

    Yes the two special angles help you compare and mix match the two sides that you need in order to find the tan, cos, or sin

    1. True or false? sin(x)= sin^-1(x). This is false because because sin^-1(x) is the inverse of sin(x)
    2. State the other sides of a special triangle when you are given the square root of 3. The other sides are 2 and 1

    1. True or False? a reference angle is the smallest angle that the terminal side forms with the x-axis
    2. Express the formation of angle x that results in cos(x)=1/2
  4. Francisco Cardenas

    True or False

    A reference angle can only be 45,60,90 or 30

    True there are no other angles in a reference triangle.One triangle has angles of 45,45,90 and the other triangle is a 60,30,90

    Question 2

    What are the numbers of both hypotenuse on the reference triangles
