1. sin 60 = cos 30 = √3 / 2 (one of those values you memorize), so 4 sin^3 60 = 4 * 3√3 / 8 = 3√3 / 2. If the second term is multiplied by sin^5 0, it's 0 since sin 0 = 0 and what we just got is the final answer.
(Careful of typo in previous responsder; lost a 3 in the copied answer.)

2a. By thinking around the unit circle, trig function (x) = trig function (x + multiples of 360). Since -222 + 360 = 138, the cosines of those angles are equal.

2b. Remember csc x = 1 / sin x, so you're looking at whether cos^2 68 = sin^2 22. Just as at the beginning, sin x = cos (90 - x), and still equal if you square both numbers.

Name of the angles? Fred? (Ah, supplementary, complementary, all that -- use the definitions in your textbook since these aren't really standardized. And note that it's complEmentary, not complImentary -- you're completing the angle, not saying nice things about it.)

1.
sin(60) = SQRT(3)/2
cos(30) = SQRT(3)/2
sin(0) = 0

Frist term 4sin^3(60) = 4 (SQRT(3)/2)^3 = 3SQRT(3)/2
Second term cos^4(30)sin^5(0) = 0

Answer is SQRT(3)/2

2.a.
Using the absolute value of the angle:
138 + 222 = 360 so yes the cosines are the same

Another way is to convert -122 to a positive angle and this is done by adding 360 to it and getting 138. So in this way of looking at it the angles are the same angle.

b. csc = 1/sin so 1/csc^2(22) = sin^2(22)
cos^(68) = sin^2(22) and yes these are the same since 68+22 is equal to 90

This was new to me. According to Dr. Math there are two words for angles that sum to 360: explementary angles. and conjugate. He says that explementary is probably better since conjugate has too many other meanings.

Two angles are said to be complmentary if they sum to 90 degrees so the angles in part b are complimentary.

sin 60 = sqrt(3)/2
sin^3 60 = [sqrt(3)/2]^3 = 3sqrt(3)/8
cos 30 = sqrt(3)/2
cos^4 60 = [sqrt(3)/2]^4 = 9/ 16
sin(0) = 0
sin^5(0) = 0
4 sin^3 (60) + cos^4(30)sin^5(0) =
4(3sqrt(3)/8) + 9/16(0)
(3/2)sqrt(3)

2)
a)
cos 138 = cos (360 - 138) = -cos 222 (it is negative because (360 - 138) is in 4th quadrant)
b)cos^2 (68) = sin^2(90 - 68) = sin^2 (22) = 1/csc^2 (22)

a) supplementary angles
b)complimentary angles

this relies upon how lots time you have. some graphing or different state-of-the-paintings problems could desire to take many months or years of calculations...additionally, a million errors and you screw each thing up after that, so... Now, this is actual that computers truly do exactly techniques developed with the aid of hand specifically circumstances many thousands and thousands of cases a 2d. So what might take a individual years is completed lots extra straight away. human beings interior the old days calculated pi and what no longer. in case you already know somebody with an old math e book, they have tables interior the returned that checklist issues like sin and cos completed with the aid of hand. the army used to have human beings manually calculate projection tables. this is actual why computers have been invented interior the 1st place - the tables took too long to make with the aid of hand, and the army wanted them quicker.
