7/15/16 Sample problems, Exeter Academy At constant speed, a wheel rotates once counterclockwise every 10 seconds. The center of the wheel is (0, 0) and its radius is 1 foot. A paint spot is ini1ally at (1, 0); where is it t seconds later? 10 @theslowbe #NCTMinst Sample problems, Exeter Academy Quinn is running around the circular track x 2 +y 2 = 10000, whose radius is 100 meters, at 4 meters per second. Quinn starts at the point (100, 0) and runs in the counterclockwise direc1on. AGer 30 minutes of running, what are Quinn’s coordinates? 11 @theslowbe #NCTMinst Sample problems, Exeter Academy Represen1ng one unit by at least five squares on your graph paper, draw the unit circle, which is centered at the origin and goes through point A = (1, 0). Use a protractor to mark the third-quadrant point P on the circle for which arc AP has angular size 215 degrees. Es1mate the coordinates of P, reading from your graph paper. No1ce that both are nega1ve numbers. Turn on your calculator and ask for the cosine and sine values of a 215-degree angle. Do further explora1on, then explain why sine and cosine are known as circular func/ons . 12 @theslowbe #NCTMinst 4
7/15/16 Sample problems, Exeter Academy Given that cos 80 = 0.173648 . . . , explain how to find cos 100, cos 260, cos 280, and sin 190 without using a calculator. 13 @theslowbe #NCTMinst Sample problems, Exeter Academy A 15-degree counterclockwise rota1on centered at (2, 1) sends (4, 6) to another point (x, y). Find x and y, correct to three decimal places. 14 @theslowbe #NCTMinst Discovering Trig FuncFons Hands-On Discovery of Trigonometric Func1ons (adapted from Ronda Davis, Albuquerque Public Schools, and Ron Stewart, Baylor School) When you enter y -values in L3 and y / r -values in L5, enter them using the fewest keystrokes possible 15 @theslowbe #NCTMinst 5

They must know which procedure is appropriate and most produc1ve in a given situa1on, what a procedure accomplishes, and what kind of results to expect. Mechanical execu1on of procedures without understanding their mathema1cal basis oGen leads to bizarre results.” 27 @theslowbe #NCTMinst 9
