    SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. Solve the problem. 14) What happens if you set B = - 2 Δ in the angle sum formulas for the sine and cosine functions? Do the results agree with something you already know? 14) Answer: If B = - 2 Δ , then cos (A + B) = cos A and sin (A + B) = sin A. Because the period of both of the sine and cosine functions is 2 Δ , if B is replaced by a multiple of 2 Δ the angle sum formulas must produce the same value as the sine or cosine function. Explanation: Provide an appropriate response. 15) Derive the identity sec - 1 ( - x) = Δ - sec - 1 x by combining the following two equations: cos - 1 ( - x) = Δ - cos - 1 x sec - 1 x = cos - 1 (1/x) 15) Answer: sec - 1 ( - x) = cos - 1 ( - 1/x) = Δ - cos - 1 (1/x) = Δ - sec - 1 x Explanation: Use the addition formulas to derive the identity. 16) sin x - Δ 2 = - cos x 16) Answer: sin x - Δ 2 = sin x cos - Δ 2 + cos x sin - Δ 2 = sin x (0) + cos x ( - 1) = 0 - cos x = - cos x Explanation: 17) cos x + Δ 2 = - sin x 17) Answer: cos x + Δ 2 = cos x cos Δ 2 - sin x sin Δ 2 = cos x (0) - sin x (1) = 0 - sin x = - sin x Explanation: 6

    Solve the problem. 20) The standard formula for the tangent of the difference of two angles is tan (A - B) = tan A - tan B 1 + tan A tan B . Derive the formula. 20) Answer: tan (A - B) = sin (A - B) cos (A - B) = sin A cos B - sin B cos A cos A cos B + sin A sin B = (cos A cos B) - 1 (sin A cos B - sin B cos A) (cos A cos B) - 1 (cos A cos B + sin A sin B) = tan A - tan B 1 + tan A tan B . Explanation: Use the addition formulas to derive the identity. 21) sin x + Δ 2 = cos x 21) Answer: sin x + Δ 2 = sin x cos Δ 2 + cos x sin Δ 2 = sin x (0) + cos x (1) = 0 + cos x = cos x Explanation: 8

Comment on the behavior of sec 2x in relation to the signs and values of cos 2x. 24) Answer: When y = cos 2x is at a maximum point, which is at any multiple of Δ , y = sec 2x is a minimum point. Similarly, when cos (2x) is at a minimum point, which is at any odd multiple of Δ 2 , y = sec 2x is a at maximum point. Explanation: 9
