Name: ______________________   Date: ____________   Inverse trigonometric ranges and an expression rewritten as a single tangent (6 points)

No calculator. Give exact values, use radians, and show the work for each part. Only real solutions are asked for.

  1. (A(i)) Find the exact value of tan−1⁡(−3)\tan^{-1}\left(-\sqrt{3}\right). [1 point]

  2. (A(ii)) Find the exact value of sin−1⁡(sin⁡5π4)\sin^{-1}\left(\sin\frac{5\pi}{4}\right). [1 point]

  3. (B) Rewrite h(x)h(x)=sin⁡(2x)1+cos⁡(2x)= \frac{\sin(2x)}{1 + \cos(2x)} as a single trigonometric function of xx. Show the identities you use. [2 points]

  4. (C) Solve h(x)=3h(x) = \sqrt{3} for 0≤x<2π0 \le x < 2\pi. [2 points]
