A general question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do sollutions increase when we square a trigonometric function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was solving this :-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \left| sinx \right|=\left| \cos3x \right|\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i decided to square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

depends if you have \[\cos^2(x)=\frac{1}{2}\] then \[\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\]or '\[\cos(x)=-\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you could say \[\sin(x)=\cos(3x)\] or \[\sin(x)=-\cos(3x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My professor told they won't increase

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean to get rid of the absolute values by squaring? i guess that would work but i would go to two equations right away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool, thank you
