Using the graph of y=sin(x), find the values of the interval [-4(pi), (pi)/2] that satisfy the ordered pair (x, 1/2).
@Hero @ganeshie8
\[is the interval (-4\pi,\pi/2)\]
yes
Do you have a unit circle ? it is just asking for what values of x is sin 1/2 sin(x)=1/2
\(\bf y=sin(x)\qquad \begin{array}{llll} (x&\frac{1}{2})\\ \uparrow&\uparrow \\ x&y \end{array}\implies \frac{1}{2}=sin(x) \\ \quad \\ sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)=sin^{-1}[sin(x)]\implies sin^{-1}\left( \cfrac{1}{2} \right)=x\)
so, find that angle, and any other angle with the same value in the range of \(\left[ -4\pi ,\frac{\pi }{2} \right]\)
so what are all the values that satisfy (x,1/2)
well, as Deeezzzz pointed out, use your Unit Circle
