precalculus question love help!!!
4sin(x) + 4cos^2(x) = 4 sin(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 sin(x) + 1-sin^2(x) = 1 sin^2(x) -sin(x) = 0 sin(x) [ sin(x) -1 ] = 0 x = 0, pi/2
lol... use sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 then cos^2 = 1 - sin^2 substitute it into your equation 4sin(x) + 4(1 - sin^2(x)) = 4 divide by 4 sin(x) + 1 - sin^2(x) = 1 or sin(x) - sin^2(x) = 0 factorise sin(x)(1 - sin(x)) = 0 solutions are when sin(x) = 0 or 1 gee I think I've done this question before
so is the solution 0, pi/2 or 0, 1
and thanks for all your help today campbell
The answers occur when sin(x) is 0, 1 The answers ARE 0, pi/2
the domain for t is [0, 2pi] so you need to include pi and 2pi... as sin(t) = 0 at those points... but I'm not sure on the answer restrictions
it actually says 0,pi/2 arent correct so are those the answers for just throughout that first rotation? because the domain is 2pi are there two more solutions ?
the way I read the question, there are 4 answers, 0, pi/2, pi, 2pi
[0, 2pi) means that 2pi cannot be included in the answer choice set
oh shoot yeah i forgot about pi
So the answers are 0, pi/2, pi
ok thanks wombat... so exclude 2pi... its 0, pi/2 and pi
YALL ROCK!
