1-4 correct
5. your probably meant: cos(5π/6) which is cos 150° = -.866..
so it is negative, ruling out A and B
C. sin(5pi / 3) ****
D. cos(7pi / 6) *****
6 ok
7 ok
8 y = 3sin(4x - pi) ---> y = 3sin(4(x - π/4) ) , so the shift is π/4
9 -10 ok
11. 2sin(2x)cos(x) - sin(2x) = 0
sin(2x)(2cosx - 1) = 0
sin(2x) = 0, 2x = 0, 2x = π, 2x = 2π
x = 0, π/2, ..
or
cosx = 1/2, x = ± π/3
so x = 0, π/2, ±π/3
12 - 15 ok
16. <-6,4)dot<7,10) = magnitude1 * magnitude2 * cos(theta)
-2 = √52√140cos theta
theta = 91.3°
I have only time for these right now, hope this helps.
