Graph Functions
1. **Problem Statement:**
We have two functions: $f(x) = -2 \cos x$ and $g(x) = \sin 2x$ defined on the interval $-90^\circ \leq x \leq 180^\circ$. We need to:
- Draw their graphs on the same axes.
- Identify intercepts and turning points.
- Solve for $x$ where:
a) $g(x) - f(x) = 2$
b) $f(x) \leq g(x)$
c) Both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are increasing.
- Find the equation of $h(x)$ after reflecting $f(x)$ in the x-axis and shifting it 30° right.
2. **Graphing and Key Points:**
- $f(x) = -2 \cos x$ is a cosine wave with amplitude 2, reflected about the x-axis.
- $g(x) = \sin 2x$ is a sine wave with double frequency.
- Domain: $-90^\circ$ to $180^\circ$.
**Intercepts and turning points:**
- For $f(x)$:
- Intercepts where $f(x)=0$: $-2 \cos x=0 \Rightarrow \cos x=0 \Rightarrow x=90^\circ$.
- Turning points where $f'(x)=0$: $f'(x) = 2 \sin x = 0 \Rightarrow x=0^\circ, 180^\circ$.
- Values: $f(0) = -2$, $f(180) = 2$.
- For $g(x)$:
- Intercepts where $g(x)=0$: $\sin 2x=0 \Rightarrow 2x = n\pi \Rightarrow x = n \times 90^\circ$, for integers $n$.
- Turning points where $g'(x)=0$: $g'(x) = 2 \cos 2x = 0 \Rightarrow 2x = 90^\circ, 270^\circ, ... \Rightarrow x=45^\circ, 135^\circ$.
- Values: $g(45^\circ) = 1$, $g(135^\circ) = -1$.
3. **Solving the equations:**
**a) Find $x$ where $g(x) - f(x) = 2$:**
$$\sin 2x - (-2 \cos x) = 2 \Rightarrow \sin 2x + 2 \cos x = 2$$
Using 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 $|\sin x + 1| \leq 2$, equality holds when both are 1:
- $\cos x = 1 \Rightarrow x=0^\circ$
- $\sin x + 1 = 1 \Rightarrow \sin x = 0$
At $x=0^\circ$, $\sin 0 = 0$, so condition holds.
Check if $x=0^\circ$ satisfies original:
$$\sin 0 + 2 \cos 0 = 0 + 2 = 2$$
Yes, so $x=0^\circ$ is a solution.
**b) Find $x$ where $f(x) \leq g(x)$:**
$$-2 \cos x \leq \sin 2x$$
Rewrite $\sin 2x$ as $2 \sin x \cos x$:
$$-2 \cos x \leq 2 \sin x \cos x$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$-\cos x \leq \sin x \cos x$$
Rearranged:
$$0 \leq \cos x (\sin x + 1)$$
Analyze sign of $\cos x$ and $\sin x + 1$ on $[-90^\circ, 180^\circ]$:
- $\sin x + 1$ is always positive since $\sin x \geq -1$.
- So inequality reduces to $\cos x \geq 0$.
On $[-90^\circ, 180^\circ]$, $\cos x \geq 0$ for $x \in [-90^\circ, 90^\circ]$.
Therefore, $f(x) \leq g(x)$ for $x$ in $[-90^\circ, 90^\circ]$.
**c) Find $x$ where both $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are increasing:**
- $f'(x) = 2 \sin x$ (since $f(x) = -2 \cos x$)
- $g'(x) = 2 \cos 2x$
For $f(x)$ increasing: $f'(x) > 0 \Rightarrow \sin x > 0$.
On $[-90^\circ, 180^\circ]$, $\sin x > 0$ for $x \in (0^\circ, 180^\circ)$.
For $g(x)$ increasing: $g'(x) > 0 \Rightarrow \cos 2x > 0$.
$\cos 2x > 0$ when $2x \in (-90^\circ, 90^\circ)$ or $2x \in (270^\circ, 450^\circ)$.
Within domain:
- $2x \in (-90^\circ, 90^\circ) \Rightarrow x \in (-45^\circ, 45^\circ)$
- $2x \in (270^\circ, 450^\circ) \Rightarrow x \in (135^\circ, 225^\circ)$ but domain ends at $180^\circ$.
So $g(x)$ increasing on $(-45^\circ, 45^\circ)$ and $(135^\circ, 180^\circ)$.
Intersection with $f(x)$ increasing $(0^\circ, 180^\circ)$:
- Overlap is $(0^\circ, 45^\circ)$ and $(135^\circ, 180^\circ)$.
4. **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,
$$h(x) = 2 \cos (x - 30^\circ)$$
**Final answers:**
- a) $x = 0^\circ$
- b) $x \in [-90^\circ, 90^\circ]$
- c) $x \in (0^\circ, 45^\circ) \cup (135^\circ, 180^\circ)$
- $h(x) = 2 \cos (x - 30^\circ)$
