Question

Help with solving trig equations

Answer 1

\[2-2\sin^2x=\sqrt3\cot(x)\] Find all solutions on the interval [0,360]

Answer 2

right away its just sin^2(x)=sqrt3cot(x)

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

but 2-2?

Answer 5

factor 2 out, 2(1-sin^2) = 2 cos^2 (it is the LHS only)

Answer 6

I am a little bit confused the purpose of changing it to cos^2. Will it work out better in the long run?

Answer 7

Now, RHS : cot = cos/sin, right?
