so start comparing them. E.g. all right angles are 90–, hence equal. An obtuse angle is larger than an acute angle, etc. An alternative measure of angles is used on a compass. E.g. if North(N) is 0–, North-East(NE) is 45–, NNE is 22:5–, etc. 89 Special Angle Pairs In the previous section, we classifled angles based on m...

extend the range of the sine graph to inflnity we would in fact see that there are an inflnite number of solutions to this equation! This di–culty (which is caused by the periodicity of the sine function) makes solving trigonometric equations much harder than they may seem to be. Any problem on trigonometric equations w...

see that the difierence between successive terms is always 4, since 7 15 = 4, so the sequence is indeed an arithmetic sequence, and d = 4 { Second approach: We know that the formula for the nth term is given by an = 3 + 4(n 1). From this it should be clear that the (n + 1)th term is given by an+1 = 3 + 4((n + 1) If we w...
1 = 1, S4 = 0, S5 = 1. It seems that the values we get are oscillating between 0 and 1. Remember we said that a series converges if we get closer and closer to some number when we add more terms - and that is clearly not what is happening here. That means that this series is divergent, even though it never gets larger ...
