Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π) sinθ +1 = 0 Is the answer just π?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

sin theta = -1 the angle whose sine is 1 in the first quadrant is pi/2 hope this helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin theta is -1 so wouldn't you be looking for the angle whose sine is -1? That's where I got π from.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

0,|dw:1372536386060:dw| remember, the sine is the y component, so at theta = pi, sine theta = 0

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

@cwrw238 was probably hoping you would remember that -sin(u) = sin(-u) = sin(2pi-u)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If that's where you're pointing to, would the answer be 3π/2 then? It's asking specifically for radians in terms of π.

OpenStudy (whpalmer4):

sin (3pi/2) = -1, yes.
