You've forgotten your transformation! Many of you
simply ignored my instructions (to describe the transformation,
and to give period and amplitude of the wave). Read the
problems carefully!
You need to find exact values. Approximate
values were not worth anything (maybe a smidge). And the values
of each are unique -- you can't have a +/- in them! It's a
given angle, and its trig values are unique.
Interesting demonstration of part c. -- use
transformations to draw the graph! I liked it. Part b., you
needed to recognize the difference of fourth powers as a
difference of squares as well.
Straight application of double angle formulas, but
you needed the value of
as well (needed to get it in the right quadrant). Those who
used arcsine to get x found x in the wrong quadrant....
Many often forget that square roots can have two
values, +/-. That meant many lost a pair of particular solutions.
Use the Pythagorean identity to write it all in
terms of cosine.
