005 Sample Final A, Question 13

Question Give the exact value of the following if its defined, otherwise, write undefined.
$(a)\sin ^{-1}(2)\qquad \qquad (b)\sin \left({\frac {-32\pi }{3}}\right)\qquad \qquad (c)\sec \left({\frac {-17\pi }{6}}\right)$

Final Answers
a) False. Nothing in the definition of a geometric sequence requires the common ratio to be always positive. For example, $a_{n}=(-a)^{n}$
b) False. Linear systems only have a solution if the lines intersect. So y = x and y = x + 1 will never intersect because they are parallel.
c) False. $y=x^{2}$ does not have an inverse.
d) True. $cos^{2}(x)-cos(x)=0$ has multiple solutions.
e) True.
f) False.
