Find all solutions to the equation csc x (2sinx-sqrt(2)) = 0 A. x= Pi/4 + kPi , where k is any positive integer. B. x= Pi/4 +2kPI and 7Pi/4 + 2kPI, where k is any positive integer C. x= 3pi/4 + 2Pik, where k is any positive integer. D. x = Pi/4 + 2kPi and 3Pi/4+ 2kPi, where k is any positive integer.
@RadEn
\[\csc x (2\sin x-\sqrt2) = 0\]
thats the equation..
\[{(2sinx-\sqrt2) \over \sin x} = 0\]\[{2\sin x \over \sin x}-{\sqrt2 \over \sin x}=0\]\[2-{\sqrt2 \over \sin x}=0\]
\[2={\sqrt2 \over \sin x}\]
\[2 \sin x=\sqrt2\]
im not really seeing what you are saying..
\[\sin x={\sqrt 2 \over 2}\]\[x={\pi \over 4},{3\pi \over 4}\]
csc x (2sinx-sqrt(2)) = 0 for zeroes cscx=0 or 2sinx-sqrt(2) case I : cscx=0 1/sinx = 0 ----> no solution for x (it does not exis) case II : 2sinx-sqrt(2) = 0 2sinx = sqrt(2) sinx = 1/2 * sqrt(2) * for sinx = sin(pi/4) sinx=sin(2kpi+pi/4) x=2kpi+pi/4 ** for sinx=sin(3pi/4) sinx=sin(2kpi+3pi/4) x=2kpi+3pi/4
so....
D :p
do you understand why it is D
not really ..id like explaining...i don't really care for just answers..
If you look at my work I prove that the two answers are pi/4 and 3pi/4. Before I explain the k stuff do you understand those steps?
yeah i think so
From the unit circle I knew those solutions. Also one full rotation around the circle is 2pi right?! so pi/4 + 2pi would be right back at the same spot, giving us the same answer. Then they added for any positive integer k because if this continued on for infinity, any positive integer would make just one more rotation 2pi, 4pi, 6pi, and so on. all giving the same value
oh..okay
Hope that helped
