The Inverse Cosine Function. Lesson 5.3. Reminder … y = cos x. Reminder … y = cos x. Remember… y = sin x. Remember… y = sin x. Remember… y = tan x. Lorem. y = tan -1 x. Lorem. To summarize . Example 1.
E N D
The Inverse CosineFunction Lesson 5.3
Remember… y = tan x • Lorem
y = tan-1 x • Lorem
Example 1 • The top of the crossbar in each goal post in high school football is 10 feet off the ground. Express the measure of the angle of elevation θ from a point halfway between the sidelines to the top of the crossbar as a function of the distance d in yards from a point directly below the middle of the crossbar. crossbar 10 feet θ d Point on field
Example 2 • If x < 0 and y > 0, write cos (sin-1(x/y)) in terms of x and y. 2nd quadrant cos is negative x2 + ?2 = y2 y ?2 = y2 – x2 x θ ?
Example 3 • Solve sin x = -.8245 x = arcsin(-.8245) x = -55.54˚ + 360k 2.35.5378˚ + 360k OR -.9693 + 2πk, -2.1722+2πk
