Math 3 Trigonometry Unit Test

1. Piers is watching the tide go in and out. The distance of the shoreline from Piers (in meters) as a function of time (in hours), S(t), is plotted below. (There are lots of little waves that come in over this time, so S(t) is a bit bumpy.) What is the significance of the average rate of change of S(t) from t = 9 hours to t = 15 hours? F.IF.6, F.IF.7

2. Explain the relationship between the radian measure of the central angle of a circle and the length of the arc it subtends. F.TF.1

3. Convert each radian measure to degrees: F.TF.1 a. -2.4 b. 2 /3

4. Convert each degree measure to radians (leave your answer in terms of a. 210 b. -480

F.TF.1

5. Given tan = () with

in quadrant III, find sin . F.TF.2

6. Find all 6 trig functions , if represents the angle between the line joining the origin to the point P(-9,-40) and the x-axis. F.TF.2

7. Express 90 degrees in terms of radian measure, and then identify each of the six trigonometric functions. F.TF.2

8. a) For each of the four quadrants, identify which of the six trigonometric functions are positive, and which of the six trigonometric functions are negative. Draw a picture of your findings below.
F.TF.2

b) Explain how you determined which functions were positive/negative for each quadrant.
F.TF.2

9. Given csc = 2 and tan < 0 , find sec . F.TF.2

10. Outside temperature over the course of a day can be modeled as a sinusoidal (sine) function. Suppose you know the temperature is 50 degrees at midnight and the high and low temperature during the day are 57 and 43 degrees, respectively. Assuming t is the number of hours since midnight, find a function for the temperature, D, in terms of t. F.TF.5

11. A Ferris wheel is 25 meters in diameter and boarded from a platform that is 1 meters above the ground. The six o'clock position on the Ferris wheel is level with the loading platform. The wheel completes 1 full revolution in 10 minutes. The function h(t) gives your height in meters above the ground t minutes after the wheel begins to turn. F.TF.5 a. Find the amplitude, midline, and period of h(t).

b.

Find a formula for the height function h(t).

c.

How high are you off the ground after 5 minutes?

12. For each of the following equations, find the amplitude, period, horizontal shift, and midline. Then graph each of the functions. F.TF.5 a. y = 3 sin(4x+8) - 5

b. y = 4 cos (x-3) + 7

13. Find a formula for each of the functions graphed below: F.TF.5 a)

b)

14. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can see that r2 = x2 + y2. Divide each term by r2, then use trigonometric ratios to prove sin2x + cos2x = 1. F.TF.8

15. Manipulate the Trigonometric identity sin2x + cos2x = 1 to prove the other two Pythagorean identities. F.TF.8
