Question 837577:  Find all values of x in the interval [0, 2π] that satisfy the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 
12 cos(x) − 6 = 0
 
Find the solutions of the equation in [0, 2π). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 
sin 2x = 1
 
Use the fundamental identities to simplify the expression. There is more than one correct form of the answer. 
3 sec2 x(1 − sin2 x)
 
Factor the expression and use the fundamental identities to simplify. There is more than one correct form of the answer. 
3 sin2 x csc2 x − 3 sin2 x

Trigonometry-basics/837577 (2014-02-04 21:00:13): Find all values of x in the interval [0, 2π] that satisfy the equation. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 
12 cos(x) − 6 = 0  
cos(x) = 1/2 
x = pi/3, -pi/3 
-------------------------------------- 
Find the solutions of the equation in [0, 2π). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 
sin(2x) = 1 
2x = pi/2 
x = pi/4 
-------------------------------  
Use the fundamental identities to simplify the expression. There is more than one correct form of the answer. 
3 sec^2(x)(1 − sin^2 (x)) 
= 3sec^2(x)(cos^2(x)) 
= 3*1 = 3 
-------------------------  
Factor the expression and use the fundamental identities to simplify. There is more than one correct form of the answer. 
3 sin2(x) csc2 x − 3 sin2 x 
= 3 - 3sin^2(x) 
= 3(1-sin^2(x) 
= 3*cos^2(x) 
------------------------------
 
A sample of a radioactive substance decayed to 96.5% of its original amount after a year. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 
(a) What is the half-life of the substance? 
A(t) = 0.965^t*Ao 
---- 
(1/2)Ao = 0.965^t*Ao 
0.965^t = 1/2 
t = log(1/2)/log(0.965) 
t = 19.46 years 
--------------------------  
(b) How long would it take the sample to decay to 55% of its original amount? 
t = log0.55/log(1/2)  
t = log(1/2)/log(0.55) = 1.1594
