Solve each equation. Give all solutions in radians in the interval 0 < x < 2pi.
-
a) 2sin x + 3 = 2
b) cosx + 1= 0
c) 3tan^2x = 1
d) 2sin^2x + sinx = 1
e) tanx cosx - tanx = 0

Give all solutions in radians in the interval \[0\le x < 2\pi \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a) \[2\sin x + 3 = 2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 sin x = -1
sin x = -1/2
x = 7pi/6 and 11pi/12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You are probably wondering where I get 7pi/6 and 11pi/12?

Watch.......we know that sin (30 degrees or pi/6) = 1/2
The sine is negative in quadrants 3 and 4.
So if we want to know where sin x = -1/2..we know it will be - in quadrants 3 and 4.
In quadrant 3, we just take 180 + 30 = 210 = 7pi/6
In quadrant 4, we do 360 - 30 = 330 = 11pi/12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
response??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it not 11pi /6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, you are correct, 330 degrees = 11pi/6. I stand corrected!

7pi/6 and 11pi/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I tried to give you an explanation "short and sweet"...but there's an entire chapter in your text about this.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is all that my answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there are 2 solutions for x, 7pi/6 and 11pi/6.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7pi/6 and 11pi/6 that is my answer correct?
