11. f(t) = 4.2sin(/22t) + 3 = 4.2sin[(1/2 2t)] + 3

13. g(x) = 4 1.3sin[/22.3(x4)]

15. f(x) = cos(2x)

17. f(x) = 1.5cos(4(x0.375))

19. f(x) = 40cos((x10)/10) + 40

21. sin2x + cos2x = 1 gives, upon division by cos2x, tan2x + 1 = 1/ cos2x = sec2x.

23. (3)/2

31. s(t) = 7.5cos(t/6) + 87.5

33. y1 is shown in black, y3 in red, and y5 in yellow.

Here is its graph.

35. The period is approximately 12.6 units
