(a) 450 (b) − 210

SOLUTION

Determining an Angle
EXAMPLE

Give the radian measure of the angle described.

SOLUTION
The angle above consists of one full revolution (2π radians) plus one half-
revolutions (π radians). Also, the angle is clockwise and therefore negative.
That is,

t = − (2 + ) = − 3.

Determining an Angle t

EXAMPLE

Find t such that –π/2 ≤ t ≤ π/2 and t satisfies the stated condition
sin t = − sin( 3 / 8)

SOLUTION

One of our properties of sine is sin(–t) = –sin(t). And since –sin(3π/8) =


sin(–3π/8) and –π/2 ≤ –3π/8 ≤ π/2, we have t = –3π/8.

Differentiating Cosine in Application
EXAMPLE

Suppose that a person’s blood pressure P at time t (in seconds) is given by


P = 100 + 20cos 6t.
Find the maximum value of P (called the systolic pressure) and the minimum
value of P (called the diastolic pressure) and give one or two values of t where
these maximum and minimum values of P occur.
SOLUTION
The maximum value of P and the minimum value of P will occur where the
function has relative minima and maxima. These relative extrema occur where
the value of the first derivative is zero.
P = 100 + 20 cos 6t This is the given function.
P = 20(− sin 6t )6 = −120 sin 6t Differentiate.
−120 sin 6t = 0 Set P΄ equal to 0.
sin 6t = 0 Divide by -120.

Differentiating Cosine in Application
CONTINUED

Notice that sin6t = 0 when 6t = 0, π, 2π, 3π,... . That is, when t = 0, π/6, π/3,
π/2, ... . Now we can evaluate the original function at these values for t.

t 100 + 20cos6t
0 120
π/6 80
π/3 120
π/2 80

Notice that the values of the function P cycle between 120 and 80. Therefore,
the maximum value of the function is 120 and the minimum value is 80.

Therefore, the average value of f (t) is about 47.359 degrees.

(b) To determine how fast the temperature is changing at week 20, we need to
evaluate f ΄(20).

Therefore, the temperature is changing at a rate of 1.579 degrees per week.

Applications of Tangent
EXAMPLE

Find the width of a river at points A and B if the angle BAC is 90°, the angle
ACB is 40°, and the distance from A to C is 75 feet.

r
SOLUTION
Let r denote the width of the river. Then equation (3) implies that
r
tan 40 =
75
75 tan 40 = r.
We convert 40° into radians. We find that 40° = (π/180)40 radians ≈ 0.7
radians, and tan(0.7) ≈ 0.84229. Hence
75 tan 40 = r  75(0.84229) = 63.17 meters.
