2cos^2x + 3sin x =0
2(1-sin^2x) + 3sinx = 0
-2sin^2x + 3sinx +2 = 0
2sin^2x -3sinx -2 = 0
(2sinx +1)(sinx-2) = 0
Solve for x

x=arcsin(-1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin^2 x =- 1/2 <- incorrect
sin x = -1/2 <- correct
x = sin (180 +150) and sin(360-330) <- not correct
It should be \(x = sin^{-1} (-1/2)\)

I made it correct u see

OpenStudy (anonymous):
we will have two values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):
When you get the step
sinx = -1/2
You should take arc sine for both sides to solve x
sin^-1 (sinx) = sin^-1(-1/2)
x = -30 or x = 180+30

This is because there are two values for x in which sinx = -1/2

sin(2pie - 11pie/6) =?
13 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin(2pie - 11pie/6) = sin (pi/6) = 1/2

ok......PLzz teach me hw to take inverse function

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Think in this way, when you take sine of a function, what values would give you -1/2?
13 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok...then it should lie in 3rd or 4th quadrant

Yes, but are the values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
values hw to find..
13 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Consider quadrant I,
sin (pi/6) = 1/2
Consider quadrant II,
sin (pi - pi/6) = 1/2
Consider quadrant III,
sin (pi + pi/6) = -1/2
Consider quadrant IV,
sin (2pi - pi/6) = -1/2
Got it?
