solve each equation for solutions in the interval 0≤x<2π
okay
a) 2sinxcosx=√(3) sinx
2-√(3)=sinx okay r u agree?
coz sinxcosx=1
\[cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] that's what I get after dividing by sin(x) because it is redundant and dividing by two.
okay why just take sin(x)
this forms seems much easier to me to solve, you can get rid of the sin(x), since it is represented on the lefthand- and also on the righthand side. Therefore it's just another scalar term for the solution. Remember that \[2\sin(x)\cos(x)=\sin(2x)\]
yaeh
What you obtain will be: \[x_1= \frac{\pi}{6} \] You can get the second solution by looking at the unit circle. \[x_2= \pi - x_1 = \frac{5 \pi}{6} \]
i ended up getting x=π/3, 4π/3, 3π/4, 7π/4
arm sorry I messed the last term up, it's a full rotation of course, therefore 2 pi
hmm some of your solution don't seem right to me @charliem07, check them by back substitution.
I get \[x_1 = \frac{\pi}{6} \\ x_2 = 2\pi - x_1 =\frac{11 \pi}{6} \]
and then you can sum them up, using the period.
@Spacelimbus i thought you list them since they are in interval
ohhhh i see what you are saying thanks
you are welcome
