Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. Since [latex]y=\csc x[/latex] is the reciprocal function of [latex]y=\sin x[/latex], you can plot the reciprocal of the coordinates on the graph of [latex]y=\sin x[/latex] to obtain the y-coordinates of [latex]y=\csc x[/latex]. The x-intercepts of the graph [latex]y=\sin x[/latex] are the vertical asymptotes for the graph of [latex]y=\csc x[/latex]. 3. Answers will vary.

b.
c. [latex]x=−\frac{\pi}{2}[/latex] and [latex]x=\frac{\pi}{2}[/latex]; the distance grows without bound as |x| approaches [latex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/latex]—i.e., at right angles to the line representing due north, the boat would be so far away, the fisherman could not see it;
d. 3; when [latex]x=−\frac{\pi}{3}[/latex], the boat is 3 km away;
e. 1.73; when [latex]x=\frac{\pi}{6}[/latex], the boat is about 1.73 km away;

b.
c. [latex]h(0)=0:[/latex] after 0 seconds, the rocket is 0 mi above the ground; [latex]h(30)=2:[/latex] after 30 seconds, the rockets is 2 mi high;
d. As x approaches 60 seconds, the values of [latex]h(x)[/latex] grow increasingly large. The distance to the rocket is growing so large that the camera can no longer track it.Licenses & Attributions
