solution help
How far did you get with it?
divided 24 on both sides
im stuck with this problem
Another way of saying \(\csc^2x\) is \((\csc x)^2\). Does that help?
That makes the equation: \((\csc x)^2=\frac{32}{24}\)
do i square root both sides?
Yes. And remember the \(\pm\) issues that causes.
how do you get the solutions once you square root it?
Well, that one does not look nice and friendly, so you would first flip it, then use arcsine in a calculator.
Hmmm... Or wait... that might eb nicer after being flipped.
yeah i got 42
\(\csc x=\sqrt{\frac{32}{24}}\implies \csc x=\sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}\) \(\sin x=\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}\) OK, so you did an arcsine on that?
yes
I did all this..i cant get the solution
I got about \(\pm 38^{\circ}\)
the solution is supposed to be something like pi/3+2kpi

Oops. DOH! Factored out wrong! \(\csc x=\sqrt{\frac{32}{24}}\implies \csc x=\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}\) \(\sin x=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}\implies \sin x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies \sin x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) That makes a HUGE difference!
Was trying to replay and it reloaded on me... took forever! Well, close enough to forever.
reply... not replay.
loll..wait so thats it?
There is still the \(\pm\) issue. Because the original was squared we do not know if we are getting \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) or \(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) at that point. So on the unit circle, there are two possible answers.
So, do you know what angles those will be when solved for?
60 and -60?
well it says that it has to be between 0 and 2pi so it has to be the postive one
Yes, which are \(\pm\frac{\pi}{3}\). Hmmm. So it is either \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) or that and the positive coterminal of \(-\frac{\pi}{3}\) which is \(\frac{5\pi}{3}\)
so how would the final solution look like with the correct form?
Is it solve for every angle, and just use \([0,2\pi)\) as the basis?
Or is it just find solutions between 0 and 2pi? Because that +k stuff is only on the first one.
no you have to find all the solutions...if you dont know I can ask someone else
@.Sam. help?
Oh, no. I know. hehe. Just clarifying. If it is all answers, then we need the \(\frac{5\pi}{3}\) one as well.
wow this took 42 min lollll
\(x=\left\{\left(\frac{\pi}{3}+2k\pi\right),\left(\frac{5\pi}{3}+2k\pi\right)|k\in\mathbb{R}\right\}\)
Well, my making a mistake in the middle and the site reloading on me 3 times did not help how long it took. LOL
i did that..and it says that it is incorrect
Do they use union in this one?
no just list them
from smallest to largest value
Then technically, it should be \((\frac{\pi}{3}+2k\pi),(\frac{5\pi}{3}+2k\pi)\)... hmmm... possibly without the ( ). Or they did not account for the \(\pm\) and went with only \(\frac{\pi}{3}+2k\pi\). yah, that is smal;lers to largest... Wait! That usually means all in the range, not all in the universe! Try just \(\frac{\pi}{3},\frac{5\pi}{3}\)
hmmm... http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=24%28csc%28x%29%29^2%3D32&dataset=
pi/3 worked but 5p/3 did not
They are showing a cycle on pi, rather than 2pi... but the end result would be similar to what I was showing. OK, so.... pi/3... that is very strange. If you look at the wolfram page, that is different than what the answr should be. LOL
