solve the following equation for x where
0
hint: \(sin2x = 2sinxcosx\)
yes and
well where are you stuck or show me what you did
the equation is not solved
\[ 2sinxcosx = cosx => 2sinxcosx - cosx = 0 \] why dont you try and solve it
take cos(x) you will have \[\Large \cos(x)[2\sin(x)-1]=0\] now you have two equations \[\Large \implies \cos(x)=0\] \[\Large \implies 2\sin(x)-1=0\] solve these two equations.
if i knew how to solve these equations i wouldn;t be asking for help
to this stage i know, but how to solve from here?
\[\cos(x) = 0 => cosx = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) => x = \frac{\pi}{2} +n*2\pi , n \epsilon\mathbb{Z} \] \[sinx = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) => x = \left(-1\right)^{n}*\frac{\pi}{6} +n*\pi , n \epsilon\mathbb{Z} \]
i've been to wolfram alpha to mimi
lol i didnt use wolfram..
the answer is correct though but i have to show it using the unit circle, or the graph
i think using the sin wave
