find all solutions in the internal (0.2pi] cos 2x -square 2 sin-1 help
it appears that your answer will be a number set. so let x=0.2 and solve, then let x = pi and solve. with the two solutions you get, these will be the number set representing the bounds of 'all solutions' message me if you get stuck ^_^
i'm stuck :/
Help :/
(0.2pi] means (0.2, pi] right?
this cos 2x -square 2 sin-1 means this cos (2x) - sin^2 (-1) right?
^_^ LOL
\[\cos2x - \sqrt{2} \sin-1\]
\[\Large \cos2x - \sqrt{2} \sin-1=0\]Recall your `Cosine Double Angle Identity`:\[\Large \color{#CC0033}{\cos2x\quad=\quad 1-2\sin^2x}\]
\[\Large 1-2\sin^2x-\sqrt2 \sin x-1=0\]Hmm looks like the 1's cancel out, that's convenient. Do you need help from this point?
yes i'm
\[\Large \cancel1-2\sin^2x-\sqrt2 \sin x\cancel{-1}=0\]Multiply each side by -1 giving us,\[\Large 2\sin^2x+\sqrt2 \sin x\quad=\quad 0\]
Factor a sinx out of each term,\[\Large \sin x(2\sin x+\sqrt2)\quad=\quad 0\]To continue, set each factor equal to zero, then solve for sinx in each case,\[\Large \sin x=0\qquad\qquad\qquad 2\sin x+\sqrt2=0\]
Hmm you should get some nice special angles in each case.
like you
0, \[-\sqrt{2}/2\]
right
