Worked practice questions

If $\sin\theta + \cos\theta = 1$, then $\sin\theta \cdot \cos\theta$ equals:

  1. $\dfrac{1}{2}$
  2. $1$
  3. $0$
  4. $-1$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. $0$

Square both sides of $\sin\theta + \cos\theta = 1$: $(\sin\theta + \cos\theta)^2 = 1^2$ $\sin^2\theta + 2\sin\theta\cos\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1$ Using $\sin^2 + \cos^2 = 1$: $1 + 2\sin\theta\cos\theta = 1$ $\sin\theta \cos\theta = 0$. Verify: the original equation holds only when $\theta = 0°$ (so $\sin = 0$, $\cos = 1$) or $\theta = 90°$ (so $\sin = 1$, $\cos = 0$). In both cases the product is 0. ✓

$\cos 3\theta$ equals:

  1. $3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta$
  2. $3\cos\theta - 4\cos^3\theta$
  3. $4\sin^3\theta - 3\sin\theta$
  4. $4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta$

Triple-angle for cosine: $\cos 3\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta$. Derivation: $\cos 3\theta = \cos(2\theta + \theta) = \cos 2\theta \cos\theta - \sin 2\theta \sin\theta = (2\cos^2\theta - 1)\cos\theta - 2\sin\theta\cos\theta \cdot \sin\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2\sin^2\theta\cos\theta = 2\cos^3\theta - \cos\theta - 2(1-\cos^2\theta)\cos\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta$. Companion: $\sin 3\theta = 3\sin\theta - 4\sin^3\theta$ (option C — common trap). Mnemonic: in both, the coefficients are 3 and 4, and the cubed term has the same trig function as the angle outside.

For the c.d.f. $F(x) = 3x - 2x^3$ (from p.d.f. $f(x) = 3(1 - 2x^2)$ on $[0, 1]$), $F(0.5)$ equals:

  1. $1$
  2. $0$
  3. $2.0$
  4. $1.25$
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. $1.25$

$F(0.5) = 3(0.5) - 2(0.5)^3 = 1.5 - 2(0.125) = 1.5 - 0.25 = 1.25$. (Note: this exceeds 1, which signals a problem with the source p.d.f. — but the question is purely about evaluating the given $F$ formula.)
