solve the following trigonometric equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use: \[\sin2x = 2sinx \cdot cosx\] \[\implies 2sinxcosx + sinx + 2cosx + 1 = 0 \implies \sin(2x)(2 cosx + 1) + 1(2cosx + 1) = 0\]

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Remember \[\sin 2x = 2 \sin x\cos x\]\[\cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin^2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\implies \sin(2x)(2 cosx + 1) + 1(2cosx + 1) = 0 \implies (2cosx+1)(1 + \sin2x) = 0\]

wow...these replies make me nostalgic o.O i cant put a finger on it but it is as if i wrote them @_@ lol =)) jk

@waterineyes thanks i can do this from here :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am writing in more understandable form.. Go ahead..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*was

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know how to write like you but here it is 2cos(x)+1=0 cos(x)=-1/2 then taking inverse and also the period of cos is 2npi similarly for 1+sin(2x) sin(2x)=-1 2x=arcsin(-1) am i right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you want to find general solution??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again for your help. yes i am trying to find the general solution. i can do this now. thank you so much,
