sinxcos^2 x = sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

move the sinx to the LHS(Left Hand Side).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, then it becomes a -sinx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then factorise.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there an eqiuation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have it right in front of you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin(x)\cos^{2}(x)-\sin(x)=0\] Bro I told you to move sinx to the LHS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How easy is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What makes that so hard to do, wehn i told you to move it to the RHS.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now factorise.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Factorise the sin(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@randa.mughrabi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, then it becomes sinX(cos^2 x-1) = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but then it says find it in the interval (0,2pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah worry about that later.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get to the main course first before doing that delicate stuff later.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and why is it =1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where'd you get the one from on the other side of the equal sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you do some magic trick on the equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Sinx=0 right? And cos^2(x)=1 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, I see that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And then when you square root both sides in cos^2(x)=1, you get this: \[\cos(x)=\pm1\] Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, and cos is +1 at 0 or 2pi and -1 at pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=0, \pi, 2\pi\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now for sin(x)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and sin is 0 at the same 3 points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=0, pi, 2pi It will have the same values. Yeah exactly. Well done mate. Good job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks, i really appreciate it
