These problems might be more subtle or sophisticated, but the ideas are the
same. No bitching, do the problems.
1. Conrm the identity,

2. Compute the sin(105

) by using the unit circle and the sum-of-angles identity.
3. Show that the quotient

(a) If the period of the system is clocked to be 3 seconds, give a function which
models the position of the mass at each point in time.
(b) Express this function in terms of a cofunction.
