Preface

WELCOME TO THE 11TH EDITION In the eleventh edition of Trigonometry, we continue our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible text to help instructors teach and students succeed. In this edition, we have remained true to the pedagogical style of the past while staying focused on the needs of today’s students. Support for all classroom types (traditional, hybrid, and online) may be found in this classic text and its supplements backed by the power of Pearson’s MyMathLab.

In this edition, we have drawn upon the extensive teaching experience of the Lial team, with special consideration given to reviewer suggestions. General updates include enhanced readability with improved layout of examples, better use of color in displays, and language written with students in mind. All calculator screenshots have been updated and now provide color displays to enhance students’ conceptual understanding. Each homework section now begins with a group of Concept Preview exercises, assignable in MyMathLab, which may be used to ensure students’ understanding of vocabulary and basic concepts prior to beginning the regular homework exercises.

Further enhancements include numerous current data examples and exercises that have been updated to reflect current information. Additional real-life exercises have been included to pique student interest; answers to writing exercises have been provided; better consistency has been achieved between the directions that introduce examples and those that introduce the corresponding exercises; and better guidance for rounding of answers has been provided in the exercise sets.

The Lial team believes this to be our best Trigonometry edition yet, and we sin- cerely hope that you enjoy using it as much as we have enjoyed writing it. Additional textbooks in this series are as follows:

College Algebra, Twelfth Edition College Algebra & Trigonometry, Sixth Edition Precalculus, Sixth Edition

HIGHLIGHTS OF NEW CONTENT ■ Discussion of the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula has been

moved from an appendix to Chapter 1.

■ In Chapter 2, the two sections devoted to applications of right triangles now begin with short historical vignettes, to provide motivation and illustrate how trigonometry developed as a tool for astronomers.

■ The example solutions of applications of angular speed in Chapter 3 have been rewritten to illustrate the use of unit fractions.

■ In Chapter 4, we have included new applications of periodic functions. They involve modeling monthly temperatures of regions in the southern hemisphere and fractional part of the moon illuminated for each day of a particular month. The example of addition of ordinates in Section 4.4 has been rewritten, and a new example of analysis of damped oscillatory motion has been included in Section 4.5.

■ Chapter 5 now presents a derivation of the product-to-sum identity for the product sin A cos B.

■ In Chapter 6, we include several new screens of periodic function graphs that differ in appearance from typical ones. They pertain to the music phenomena of pressure of a plucked spring, beats, and upper harmonics.

xii PREFACE

■ The two sections in Chapter 7 on vectors have been reorganized but still cover the same material as in the previous edition. Section 7.4 now introduces geometrically defined vectors and applications, and Section 7.5 follows with algebraically defined vectors and the dot product.

■ In Chapter 8, the examples in Section 8.1 have been reordered for a better flow with respect to solving quadratic equations with complex solutions.

■ For visual learners, numbered Figure and Example references within the text are set using the same typeface as the figure number itself and bold print for the example. This makes it easier for the students to identify and connect them. We also have increased our use of a “drop down” style, when appropri- ate, to distinguish between simplifying expressions and solving equations, and we have added many more explanatory side comments. Guided Visual- izations, with accompanying exercises and explorations, are now available and assignable in MyMathLab.

■ Trigonometry is widely recognized for the quality of its exercises. In the eleventh edition, nearly 500 are new or modified, and many present updated real-life data. Furthermore, the MyMathLab course has expanded coverage of all exercise types appearing in the exercise sets, as well as the mid-chapter Quizzes and Summary Exercises.

FEATURES OF THIS TEXT SUPPORT FOR LEARNING CONCEPTS We provide a variety of features to support students’ learning of the essential topics of trigonometry. Explanations that are written in understandable terms, figures and graphs that illustrate examples and concepts, graphing technology that supports and enhances algebraic manipulations, and real-life applications that enrich the topics with meaning all provide opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of mathematics. These features help students make mathematical connections and expand their own knowledge base.

■ Examples Numbered examples that illustrate the techniques for working exercises are found in every section. We use traditional explanations, side comments, and pointers to describe the steps taken—and to warn students about common pitfalls. Some examples provide additional graphing calcula- tor solutions, although these can be omitted if desired.

■ Now Try Exercises Following each numbered example, the student is directed to try a corresponding odd-numbered exercise (or exercises). This feature allows for quick feedback to determine whether the student has understood the principles illustrated in the example.

■ Real-Life Applications We have included hundreds of real-life applica- tions, many with data updated from the previous edition. They come from fields such as sports, biology, astronomy, geology, music, and environmental studies.

■ Function Boxes Special function boxes offer a comprehensive, visual introduction to each type of trigonometric function and also serve as an excellent resource for reference and review. Each function box includes a table of values, traditional and calculator-generated graphs, the domain, the range, and other special information about the function. These boxes are assignable in MyMathLab.

■ Figures and Photos Today’s students are more visually oriented than ever before, and we have updated the figures and photos in this edition to

A01_LHSD7642_11_AIE_FM_ppi-xviii.indd 12 03/12/15 12:50 pm

promote visual appeal. Guided Visualizations with accompanying exercises and explorations are now available and assignable in MyMathLab.

■ Use of Graphing Technology We have integrated the use of graphing calculators where appropriate, although this technology is completely op- tional and can be omitted without loss of continuity. We continue to stress that graphing calculators support understanding but that students must first master the underlying mathematical concepts. Exercises that require the use of a graphing calculator are marked with the icon .

■ Cautions and Notes Text that is marked CAUTION warns students of common errors, and NOTE comments point out explanations that should receive particular attention.

■ Looking Ahead to Calculus These margin notes offer glimpses of how the topics currently being studied are used in calculus.

SUPPORT FOR PRACTICING CONCEPTS This text offers a wide variety of exercises to help students master trigonometry. The extensive exercise sets provide ample opportunity for practice, and the exercise problems generally increase in difficulty so that students at every level of under- standing are challenged. The variety of exercise types promotes understanding of the concepts and reduces the need for rote memorization.

■ NEW Concept Preview Each exercise set now begins with a group of CONCEPT PREVIEW exercises designed to promote understanding of vo- cabulary and basic concepts of each section. These new exercises are assign- able in MyMathLab and will provide support especially for hybrid, online, and flipped courses.

■ Exercise Sets In addition to traditional drill exercises, this text includes writing exercises, optional graphing calculator problems , and multiple- choice, matching, true/false, and completion exercises. Concept Check exer- cises focus on conceptual thinking. Connecting Graphs with Equations exercises challenge students to write equations that correspond to given graphs.

■ Relating Concepts Exercises Appearing at the end of selected exer- cise sets, these groups of exercises are designed so that students who work them in numerical order will follow a line of reasoning that leads to an un- derstanding of how various topics and concepts are related. All answers to these exercises appear in the student answer section, and these exercises are assignable in MyMathLab.

■ Complete Solutions to Selected Exercises Complete solutions to all exercises marked are available in the eText. These are often exercises that extend the skills and concepts presented in the numbered examples.

SUPPORT FOR REVIEW AND TEST PREP Ample opportunities for review are found within the chapters and at the ends of chapters. Quizzes that are interspersed within chapters provide a quick assessment of students’ understanding of the material presented up to that point in the chapter. Chapter “Test Preps” provide comprehensive study aids to help students prepare for tests.

■ Quizzes Students can periodically check their progress with in-chapter quizzes that appear in all chapters. All answers, with corresponding section references, appear in the student answer section. These quizzes are assign- able in MyMathLab.

■ Summary Exercises These sets of in-chapter exercises give students the all-important opportunity to work mixed review exercises, requiring them to synthesize concepts and select appropriate solution methods.

■ End-of-Chapter Test Prep Following the final numbered section in each chapter, the Test Prep provides a list of Key Terms, a list of New Symbols (if applicable), and a two-column Quick Review that includes a section-by-section summary of concepts and examples. This feature con- cludes with a comprehensive set of Review Exercises and a Chapter Test. The Test Prep, Review Exercises, and Chapter Test are assignable in MyMathLab. Additional Cumulative Review homework assignments are available in MyMathLab, following every chapter.

2 CHAPTER 1 Trigonometric Functions

Degree Measure The most common unit for measuring angles is the degree. Degree measure was developed by the Babylonians 4000 yr ago. To use degree measure, we assign 360 degrees to a complete rotation of a ray.* In Figure 4, notice that the terminal side of the angle corresponds to its initial side when it makes a complete rotation.

One degree, written 1°, represents 1

360 of a complete rotation.

Therefore, 90° represents 90360 = 1 4 of a complete rotation, and 180° represents

180 360 =

1 2 of a complete rotation.

An angle measuring between 0° and 90° is an acute angle. An angle mea- suring exactly 90° is a right angle. The symbol m is often used at the vertex of a right angle to denote the 90° measure. An angle measuring more than 90° but less than 180° is an obtuse angle, and an angle of exactly 180° is a straight angle.

1.1 Angles

Basic Terminology Two distinct points A and B determine a line called line AB. The portion of the line between A and B, including points A and B them- selves, is line segment AB, or simply segment AB. The portion of line AB that starts at A and continues through B, and on past B, is the ray AB. Point A is the endpoint of the ray. See Figure 1.

In trigonometry, an angle consists of two rays in a plane with a common endpoint, or two line segments with a common endpoint. These two rays (or segments) are the sides of the angle, and the common endpoint is the vertex of the angle. Associated with an angle is its measure, generated by a rotation about the vertex. See Figure 2. This measure is determined by rotating a ray starting at one side of the angle, the initial side, to the position of the other side, the terminal side. A counterclockwise rotation generates a positive measure, and a clockwise rotation generates a negative measure. The rotation can consist of more than one complete revolution.

Figure 3 shows two angles, one positive and one negative.

An angle can be named by using the name of its vertex. For example, the angle on the right in Figure 3 can be named angle C. Alternatively, an angle can be named using three letters, with the vertex letter in the middle. Thus, the angle on the right also could be named angle ACB or angle BCA.

*The Babylonians were the first to subdivide the circumference of a circle into 360 parts. There are various theories about why the number 360 was chosen. One is that it is approximately the number of days in a year, and it has many divisors, which makes it convenient to work with in computations.

A complete rotation of a ray gives an angle whose measure

is 360°. of a complete

rotation gives an angle whose measure is 1°.

In Figure 5, we use the Greek letter U (theta)* to name each angle. The table in the margin lists the upper- and lowercase Greek letters, which are often used in trigonometry.

* In addition to u (theta), other Greek letters such as a (alpha) and b (beta) are used to name angles.

EXAMPLE 1 Finding the Complement and the Supplement of an Angle

Find the measure of (a) the complement and (b) the supplement of an angle measuring 40°.

SOLUTION

(a) To find the measure of its complement, subtract the measure of the angle from 90°.

90° - 40° = 50° Complement of 40° (b) To find the measure of its supplement, subtract the measure of the angle

from 180°. 180° - 40° = 140° Supplement of 40°

■✔ Now Try Exercise 11.

EXAMPLE 2 Finding Measures of Complementary and Supplementary Angles

Find the measure of each marked angle in Figure 6.

SOLUTION

(a) Because the two angles in Figure 6(a) form a right angle, they are comple- mentary angles.

6x + 3x = 90 Complementary angles sum to 90°. 9x = 90 Combine like terms.

x = 10 Divide by 9.Don’t stop here.

Be sure to determine the measure of each angle by substituting 10 for x in 6x and 3x. The two angles have measures of 61102 = 60° and 31102 = 30°.

(b) The angles in Figure 6(b) are supplementary, so their sum must be 180°.

4x + 6x = 180 Supplementary angles sum to 180°. 10x = 180 Combine like terms.

x = 18 Divide by 10. The angle measures are 4x = 41182 = 72° and 6x = 61182 = 108°.

The measure of angle A in Figure 7 is 35°. This measure is often expressed by saying that m 1angle A 2 is 35°, where m1angle A2 is read “the measure of angle A.” The symbolism m1angle A2 = 35° is abbreviated as A = 35°.

Traditionally, portions of a degree have been measured with minutes and seconds. One minute, written 1′, is 160 of a degree.

1′ = 1 60 ° or 60′ = 1°

One second, 1″, is 160 of a minute.

1″ = 1 60 ′ =

Standard Position An angle is in standard position if its vertex is at the origin and its initial side lies on the positive x-axis. The angles in Figures 8(a) and 8(b) are in standard position. An angle in standard position is said to lie in the quadrant in which its terminal side lies. An acute angle is in quadrant I (Figure 8(a)) and an obtuse angle is in quadrant II (Figure 8(b)).

Coterminal Angles A complete rotation of a ray results in an angle meas- uring 360°. By continuing the rotation, angles of measure larger than 360° can be produced. The angles in Figure 9 with measures 60° and 420° have the same initial side and the same terminal side, but different amounts of rotation. Such angles are coterminal angles. Their measures differ by a multiple of 360°. As shown in Figure 10, angles with measures 110° and 830° are coterminal.

Find the angle of least positive measure that is coterminal with each angle.

(a) 908° (b) -75° (c) -800°

SOLUTION

(a) Subtract 360° as many times as needed to obtain an angle with measure greater than 0° but less than 360°.

908° - 2 # 360° = 188° Multiply 2 # 360°. Then subtract. An angle of 188° is coterminal with an angle of 908°. See Figure 11.

Sometimes it is necessary to find an expression that will generate all angles coterminal with a given angle. For example, we can obtain any angle coterminal with 60° by adding an integer multiple of 360° to 60°. Let n represent any inte- ger. Then the following expression represents all such coterminal angles.

EXAMPLE 6 Analyzing Revolutions of a Disk Drive

A constant angular velocity disk drive spins a disk at a constant speed. Suppose a disk makes 480 revolutions per min. Through how many degrees will a point on the edge of the disk move in 2 sec?

SOLUTION The disk revolves 480 times in 1 min, or 480 60 times = 8 times per sec

(because 60 sec = 1 min). In 2 sec, the disk will revolve 2 # 8 = 16 times. Each revolution is 360°, so in 2 sec a point on the edge of the disk will revolve

16 # 360° = 5760°. A unit analysis expression can also be used.

480 rev 1 min

* 1 min 60 sec

* 360° 1 rev

* 2 sec = 5760° Divide out common units. ■✔ Now Try Exercise 123.

129. Viewing Field of a Telescope As a consequence of Earth’s rotation, celestial objects such as the moon and the stars appear to move across the sky, rising in the east and setting in the west. As a result, if a telescope on Earth remains stationary while viewing a celestial object, the object will slowly move outside the viewing field of the telescope. For this reason, a motor is often attached to telescopes so that the telescope rotates at the same rate as Earth. Determine how long it should take the motor to turn the telescope through an angle of 1 min in a direction per- pendicular to Earth’s axis.

EXAMPLE 1 Finding Angle Measures

Find the measures of angles 1, 2, 3, and 4 in Figure 15, given that lines m and n are parallel.

SOLUTION Angles 1 and 4 are alternate exterior angles, so they are equal.

3x + 2 = 5x - 40 Alternate exterior angles have equal measures. 42 = 2x Subtract 3x and add 40. 21 = x Divide by 2.

Angle 1 has measure

3x + 2 = 3 # 21 + 2 Substitute 21 for x. = 65°. Multiply, and then add.

Angle 4 has measure

5x - 40 = 5 # 21 - 40 Substitute 21 for x. = 65°. Multiply, and then

subtract.

Angle 2 is the supplement of a 65° angle, so it has measure

180° - 65° = 115°.

Angle 3 is a vertical angle to angle 1, so its measure is also 65°. (There are other ways to determine these measures.)

Triangles An important property of triangles, first proved by Greek geom- eters, deals with the sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle.

Angle Sum of a Triangle

The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180°.

A rather convincing argument for the truth of this statement uses any size trian- gle cut from a piece of paper. Tear each corner from the triangle, as suggested in Figure 16(a). We should be able to rearrange the pieces so that the three angles form a straight angle, which has measure 180°, as shown in Figure 16(b).
