Name: ______________________   Date: ____________   Inverse trigonometric values and trigonometric equations on an interval (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 cos−1⁡(sin⁡7π6)\cos^{-1}\left(\sin\frac{7\pi}{6}\right). [1 point]

  2. (A(ii)) Solve tan−1⁡(2x−1)=π4\tan^{-1}(2x - 1) = \frac{\pi}{4} for xx. [1 point]

  3. (B) Solve sin⁡(2x)=−32\sin(2x) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} for 0≤x≤π0 \le x \le \pi. Show the work that leads to your answers. [2 points]

  4. (C) Solve 2sin2⁡x+sin⁡x−1=02\sin^2 x + \sin x - 1 = 0 for 0≤x<2π0 \le x < 2\pi. Show the work that leads to your answers. [2 points]
