OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you can use calculator for solving this problem

OpenStudy (callisto):

2sin(2θ)=0.92, sin(2θ)=0.92/2 2θ = 27.387 θ = 13.6935 180°≤θ≤360° θ in quad. III = 180° +θ = 193.6935 θ in quad IV = 360 -θ = 346.3065 Do the checking, 2sin(2θ) = 2sin 2(193.6935) = 0.92 2sin(2θ) = 2sin2(346.3065) = -0.92 (rejected) So θ = 193.6935 Not sure if it works, i just guess..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm with Callisto :)

OpenStudy (callisto):

sin(2θ)=0.92/2 sin(2θ)= 0.46 (2θ) = sin^-1 (0.46) (2θ) = 27.387

OpenStudy (callisto):

you should also note that i miss out 'sin' to get 27.387 just now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got exact the result!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sin(2θ)=0.92 :. sin(2θ)=0.46 :.2θ=0.477995 rad :.θ=0.238997599 rad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:θ=0.238997599 rad is also 13.69355375 degree

OpenStudy (callisto):

@duy11nv But 180°≤θ≤360°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it now, thank you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@callisto you right

OpenStudy (callisto):

Nah.. convert the answer in degree into rad if you need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how do you get the second answer now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\pi\] radian ~ \[180^{0}\] so x radian ~ \[(x: \pi)*180\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that the second answer is 4.4705716...rad, and 256.1448889753...°

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using properties of sine fuction, that sin(Pi-x)=sin(x) or sin(180-x)=sin(x)

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

you're to have two anwsers for theta

OpenStudy (callisto):

270 - θ ?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But how do I write that down like you did before " θ in quad. III = 180° +θ = 193.6935"

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

@ricnus, don't you have the answer so you can know which solutions are correct ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know what the solutions are only because of a calculator, but I need to know how to do this

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

you need to expand the equation to give a quadratic expression \[2\sin(2\theta) = 4\sin \theta \cos \theta\]

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

i suggest you use tan theta

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

\[4\sin \theta \cos \theta = (4\tan \theta)/(1+\tan ^{2}\theta)\] @ ricnus

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the values for theta are pi + 0.2389... and 2pi - 0.2389..... this will give 2theta = 2(pi + 0.2389...) and 2(2pi - 0.2389...) which woll put the angles in the 1st and 2nd quadrants sin is positive in those quadrants and will result in the fact that \[2\sin(2\theta) =0.92\] the domain restriction is on theta and not 2 theta...

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

\[\therefore Tan(\theta) =y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@EarthCitizen and how does (4tanθ)/(1+tan^2(θ)) help, I am so confused by this

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

@ricnus it's an identity, didn't you do that in class before doing this question ?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

The answer by campbell_st is correct. I suggest you focus on his explanation.

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

you should have\[0.92y ^{2}-4y+0.92=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes I know that, that is an identity, but how does it help it?

OpenStudy (callisto):

@campbell_st But for this: 2(2pi - 0.2389...), i got a -ve result, ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, making it into a quadratic :D

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

solve for y, by using quadratic formula

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

@ricnus yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I understood how you got the identity, but I only just realised what it could be used for :D

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

yh, no p! the equation should give you y = 4.10417 or 0.243655

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

recall, \[y = ta n \theta\]

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

you use that to find theta by taking the inverse of tan

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

Hence, \[ta n \theta = 4.10417, ta n \theta=0.243655\]

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

solve for theta

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

\[\theta = 76.31^{o}, 14^{o}\]

OpenStudy (earthcitizen):

no, it has to be within the range of 180 and 360
