Help, not sure if my answer is correct
please state the problem and your answer.. I know you have it one the sheet but it's a bit hard to follow
have you solved sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=-1 yet? I can't tell from your paper.
oh no you are assuming the solution to sin(x)=0 is just 0 and cos(x)=-1 has solution -1? no no use unit circle to find when sin(x)=0 and cos(x)=-1
for sin(x)=0 I got 0, and same for cosx=-1 ... Im getting confused with the unit circle
let's replace x with theta for a sec while looking at the unit circle because that part itself can be confusing since we also use x for something else on the unit circle \[\sin(\theta)=0 \text{ means find all angles } \theta \\ \text{ such that the y-coordinate value is 0 on the unit cicle } \]
2cos(0)+cos^2(0) = 0 ? 2cos(-1)+cos^2(-1) = 0? Im sure im doing it wrong
\[\cos(\theta)=-1 \text{ means find all angles } \theta \text{ such that } \\ \text{ the x-coordinate value is -1 on the unit circle } \]
soooo then
pi and 2 pi?
cos(theta)=-1 at theta=pi+2npi sin(theta)=0 at theta=2pi+2npi and also the first one too but we don't need to repeat answers so we could actually just write theta=npi
oh okay
so then when I sub it in would I get, 3 and -1 ?
(2pi+2npi,3) and (pi+2npi,-1) ?
looks good and if you want you can write that first one as (0+2npi,3) but yeah that is fine
or just (2npi,3) lol
wait why would I do that for the first one again ?
well 2pi+2npi and 0+2npi would still give you all the same outputs just for different n-values
