  1. Question 1

    What is the domain of y = sin x?

    • A[−1, 1]
    • BR = (−∞, ∞)
    • CR except odd multiples of π/2
    • DR except multiples of π
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Sine is defined for every real number, so its domain is R. Its range is [−1, 1].

  2. Question 2

    What is the range of y = cos x?

    • A(−∞, ∞)
    • B(−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞)
    • C[0, 1]
    • D[−1, 1]
    Show answer

    Answer: D

    The values of cosine always lie between −1 and 1, inclusive.

  3. Question 3

    What is the domain of y = tan x?

    • AR except x = (2n + 1)π/2, n ∈ Z
    • BR except x = nπ, n ∈ Z
    • CR
    • D[−1, 1]
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    tan x = sin x / cos x is undefined where cos x = 0, i.e. at odd multiples of π/2.

  4. Question 4

    What is the range of y = tan x?

    • A[−1, 1]
    • B(−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞)
    • C(−∞, ∞)
    • D[0, ∞)
    Show answer

    Answer: C

    Tangent takes every real value, so its range is R.

  5. Question 5

    What is the domain of y = cot x?

    • AR except x = (2n + 1)π/2, n ∈ Z
    • BR except x = nπ, n ∈ Z
    • CR
    • D(−∞, −1] ∪ [1, ∞)
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    cot x = cos x / sin x is undefined where sin x = 0, i.e. at multiples of π.
