TEST III. Verify the identity by transforming the left-hand side into the right-hand side.

4. 7 pts

cos 2 θ−sin2 θ=2 cos 2 2 θ−1

cos 2 θ+ sin2 θ=1
sin2 θ=1−cos 2 θ

cos 2 θ−( 1−cos 2 θ )=2 cos 2 2 θ−1

2 cos2 2θ−1=2 cos 2 2 θ−1

TEST IV. Applied Problems

6. The distance between two points A and B on Earth is measured along a circle having
center C at the center of Earth and radius equal to the distance from C to surface
(see Figure). If the diameter of Earth is approx. 8000 miles, approximate the distance
between A and B if angle ACB is 30o. 12 pts

10. A ship leaves port at 1:00 PM and sails in the direction N34 oW at a rate of 24 mi/hr.
 Another ship leaves port at 1:30 PM and sails in the direction N56 oE at a rate of 18
mi/hr. Approximately how far apart are the ships at 3:00 PM. 12 pts

@ 3:00 PM, distance travelled by ship A will be:

mi

( 3 hr )=72 mi
@ 3:00 PM, distance travelled by ship B will be:
