\[Sin x (2Sinx - 1) = 0\] is what I got after some work and I can't figure out how to get any further
yes your work is right then either sinx = 0 => x = 0 , pi or sinx = 1/2 => x = pi/3
Can you re-write that in the equation editor? I'm all over the place right now
\[sinx = 0 \rightarrow x = { 0 , \frac{ \pi }{ 2 } }\] \[2sinx -1 = 0 \rightarrow sinx = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \rightarrow x = \frac{ \pi }{ 6 }\]
Why is Trig so confusing???
Woops lemme fix a small mistake he made, \[\Large\rm \sin x=0,\qquad\to\qquad x=0,~ \pi\]\[\Large\rm \sin x=\frac{1}{2},\qquad\to\qquad x=\frac{\pi}{6},~\frac{5\pi}{6}\]
So what is that? The answer?
Yes. Do you have trouble remembering your special angles? :o
Trig is so awesome +_+ Gotta really get an understanding of that unit circle though.
I don't even have the trig identities memorized
I have a sheet taped to the wall in front of my Monitor with all the Trig identities on it
Trig sounds fun. But it seems very hard at first. I was the best in my class with math. Now that trig comes along, it's starting to piss me off
Lol poor guy :3
What are the special angles anyways?
|dw:1404181110508:dw|These are the special angles in the first quadrant.
|dw:1404181166579:dw|Cosine of an angle corresponds to the x component while the Sine corresponds to the y or vertical component.
