sin(2θ)sinθ=cosθ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin^2a cosa = cosa 2sin^2a = 1 sina = 1/sqrt2 a = pi/4 cosa= 0 a = pi/2

myininaya (myininaya):

\[2\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta)\sin(\theta)-\cos(\theta)=0\] \[\cos(\theta)(2\sin^2(\theta)-1)=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\cos(\theta)=0 ,2\sin^2(\theta)-1=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use: \[\sin(2x)=2\sin(x)\cos(x)\] \[2\sin(\phi)\cos(\phi)\sin(\phi)=\cos(\phi)\] \[2\sin^2(\phi)=1 \implies \sin^2(\phi)=\frac{1}{2} \implies \sin(\phi)=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt2} \implies \phi=\pm \frac{(2n+1)\pi}{4}\] \[\cos(\phi)=0 \implies \phi=\pm \frac{(2n+1)\pi}{2}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

gj ishan but there are more solutions \[\cos(\theta)=0 => \theta=\frac{\pi}{2}+2n \pi, \theta=\frac{3\pi}{2}+2n \pi\] \[2\sin^2(\theta)-1=0=>2\sin^2(\theta)=1=>\sin(\theta)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\] \[=> \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}+2n \pi, \theta=\frac{3 \pi}{4}+2n \pi, \theta=\frac{5\pi}{4}+2n \pi, \theta=\frac{7\pi}{4}+2n \pi\]

myininaya (myininaya):

gj male :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope mine is right x.x I'm having a rough day haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it so what is the final answer?

myininaya (myininaya):

look for theta=blah blah that is the final answer

myininaya (myininaya):

i my solution i wrote theta=blah blah four different times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is mine right though myin?

myininaya (myininaya):

there is infinite amount of solutions

myininaya (myininaya):

i don't know i didn't read it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, just the final result.

myininaya (myininaya):

i will look

myininaya (myininaya):

the sin answer looks good let me look at the cos junk

myininaya (myininaya):

looks good

myininaya (myininaya):

gj :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You too :)

myininaya (myininaya):

i like how you wrote your together

myininaya (myininaya):

yours*

myininaya (myininaya):

instead of separate like mine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just hit me to write it like that haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And thank you :DDD I like how we have it both ways though :P

myininaya (myininaya):

you used one formula instead of 4 for the sin junk that was nice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It try :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still lost guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at my post with all the math, its the one that has the (2n+1)'s in it.

myininaya (myininaya):

n is an integer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah, where n=0,1,2,3,...

myininaya (myininaya):

n can also be negative integer

myininaya (myininaya):

n=...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BUT I HAVE A \[\pm\]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

myininaya (myininaya):

or you can just say \[n \in \mathbb{Z}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

oh let me see

myininaya (myininaya):

ok you do but i don't

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you could say \[n \in \mathbb{Z}^+\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is way to complicated i know this isnt what we learned in class it has to do with converting back and forth and some with factoring and stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean, what we did is the factoring and stuff. The answer must be whats confusing you. There are infinite answers because the trig functions are cyclic. If you have an interval to go by like [0,2pi] then there are finite solutions. Plug in n=0,1,2 into those equations, it gives you ALL the solutions.
