Given that where and are angles in radians between and , what could be ?
Which equation represents a horizontal compression by a factor of one-half applied to the secant function with an initial phase shift rightwards by π/4?
If , at which value of x closest to zero is the function f(x) discontinuous?
For a function that models sound intensity, which trigonometric property could be used to demonstrate sound levels decaying over distance?
Inverse square relationship shown by a transformation of a secant function.
Periodicity increase and decreases corresponding to sine wave amplitudes for varying levels of sound.
Constant values along a cosecant wave indicating static audio volume regardless of distance.
Zero points of a cosecant function representing moments of silence between sound signals.
If the secant of an angle is 2, what is the value of its cosine?
2
-0.5
0.5
-2
Given for some angle in Quadrant III, which other trigonometric ratio must also be equal to zero?
sin(x), since sine is reciprocal to cosecant which could be undefined when cotangent is zero.
sec(x), as secant involves cosine which relates directly with cotangent values being zeros through reciprocal identities.
None; no other trigonometric ratios are zero when .
tan(x), because tangent and cotangent can both be simultaneously zero.
