Cosine Sine Analysis
1. **Problem statement:** Given functions $f(x) = -2\cos x$ and $g(x) = \sin 2x$ for $-90^\circ \leq x \leq 180^\circ$, we need to:
- Draw graphs of $f$ and $g$ on the same axes.
- Find values of $x$ for certain conditions involving $f$ and $g$.
- Find the equation of a transformed function $h(x)$.
2. **Graphing $f$ and $g$:**
- $f(x) = -2\cos x$ is a cosine wave scaled by 2 and reflected vertically.
- $g(x) = \sin 2x$ is a sine wave with double frequency.
- Intercepts occur where the functions cross the axes.
- Turning points are maxima and minima where derivatives are zero.
3. **Intercepts and turning points:**
- For $f(x)$:
- Intercepts: Solve $-2\cos x = 0 \Rightarrow \cos x = 0$ at $x = 90^\circ$.
- Turning points: Max at $x=180^\circ$ ($f(180^\circ) = -2\cos 180^\circ = 2$), min at $x=0^\circ$ ($f(0^\circ) = -2$).
- For $g(x)$:
- Intercepts: Solve $\sin 2x = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = n\pi$, so $x = n\times 90^\circ$.
- Turning points: Max at $x=45^\circ$ ($g(45^\circ) = 1$), min at $x=135^\circ$ ($g(135^\circ) = -1$).
4. **Find $x$ where $g(x) - f(x) = 2$:**
$$\sin 2x - (-2\cos x) = 2 \Rightarrow \sin 2x + 2\cos x = 2$$
Use double-angle: $\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x$:
$$2\sin x \cos x + 2\cos x = 2$$
Factor out $2\cos x$:
$$2\cos x (\sin x + 1) = 2$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$\cos x (\sin x + 1) = 1$$
Since $|\cos x| \leq 1$ and $|\sin x + 1| \leq 2$, check values in domain $-90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$.
Try $x=0^\circ$: $\cos 0^\circ = 1$, $\sin 0^\circ + 1 = 1$, product = 1 ✔
Try $x=90^\circ$: $\cos 90^\circ=0$, product=0 ✘
Try $x=30^\circ$: $\cos 30^\circ=\sqrt{3}/2 \approx 0.866$, $\sin 30^\circ +1=0.5+1=1.5$, product $\approx 1.299$ >1 ✘
Try $x=-90^\circ$: $\cos -90^\circ=0$, product=0 ✘
So solution is $x=0^\circ$.
5. **Find $x$ where $f(x) \leq g(x)$:**
$$-2\cos x \leq \sin 2x$$
Rewrite:
$$-2\cos x - \sin 2x \leq 0$$
Use $\sin 2x = 2\sin x \cos x$:
$$-2\cos x - 2\sin x \cos x \leq 0$$
Factor:
$$-2\cos x (1 + \sin x) \leq 0$$
Divide by -2 (flip inequality):
$$\cos x (1 + \sin x) \geq 0$$
Analyze sign of $\cos x$ and $1 + \sin x$ over $-90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$:
- $\cos x \geq 0$ on $[-90^\circ, 90^\circ]$ except near $90^\circ$.
- $1 + \sin x \geq 0$ always since $\sin x \geq -1$.
So $f(x) \leq g(x)$ where $\cos x (1 + \sin x) \geq 0$, approximately $x \in [-90^\circ, 90^\circ]$.
6. **Find $x$ where $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are both increasing:**
- $f(x) = -2\cos x$, derivative:
$$f'(x) = -2(-\sin x) = 2\sin x$$
- $g(x) = \sin 2x$, derivative:
$$g'(x) = 2\cos 2x$$
Both increasing means:
$$f'(x) > 0 \Rightarrow 2\sin x > 0 \Rightarrow \sin x > 0$$
$$g'(x) > 0 \Rightarrow 2\cos 2x > 0 \Rightarrow \cos 2x > 0$$
- $\sin x > 0$ for $x \in (0^\circ, 180^\circ)$
- $\cos 2x > 0$ means $2x$ in intervals where cosine positive:
$$2x \in (-90^\circ, 90^\circ) \cup (270^\circ, 450^\circ)$$
Divide by 2:
$$x \in (-45^\circ, 45^\circ) \cup (135^\circ, 225^\circ)$$
Intersection with $\sin x > 0$ is:
$$x \in (0^\circ, 45^\circ)$$
7. **Equation of $h(x)$ after reflection and shift:**
- Reflect $f(x)$ in x-axis: $-f(x) = 2\cos x$
- Shift 30° right: replace $x$ by $x - 30^\circ$
So:
$$h(x) = 2\cos(x - 30^\circ)$$
