How do i find the two numbers that x equals from 3sin(x)=1?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Well, you want to isolate the sin(x) and get sin(x) = 1/3.  Then, what angle measures $$0\le x<2\pi$$ will make sin(x) equal 1/3?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure how to figure that out either

anonymous · Answer

Well, to my knowledge, there aren't closed real solutions to the equation.  I think you would have to just do arcsin(1/3) on a calculator.  What class are you taking?

ok ill try that out and im taking Calculus

anonymous · Answer

Oh.  Are you doing newton's method, then?

anonymous · Answer

no its part of a question to find the area between two curves

anonymous · Answer

Oh, okay.  And you're trying to find the intersection of y = 3sin(x) and y = 1?  You may just want to compute the intersection on a graphing calculator or something.
