solve the equation 2 cos^2 θ − sin θ = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this another type of problem that involves solving for theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you need help with this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes please these are all the same type of problems. im doing online hw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just as simple as the last problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i missed class during this lesson due to being very ill so i do not understand any of it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry to hear that. So here is the factored version of the above equation (1+sinx)(2sinx-1)=0. Just follow the steps from the previous question to find the x value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know what you get so that I can compare to my answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sinx=-1 an d sinx=-1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, but the second equation is a little off. sinx=1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me know what you get for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi/6+ 2pi k ,5pi/6+2pi/6+2pi k , 3pi/2+2pik

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks good, I don't know if the teacher, or online homework wants the +k value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats exactally how we have to enter it its online hw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright. Whatever the h.w requires.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thanks
