Solve on the interval [0,2pi) 2sin^2x+3sinx+1=0
@mathmate @satellite73 @freckles
factor
set each factor equal to zero, solve for sine then solve for x
let sin(x) = y \[2y^2+3y+1=0\] can you factor the quadratic equation ?
well i tried before but i can try again
nice try it let me know what youge :=))
t*
x=-3+sqrt1/4 x=-3-sqrt1/4
@Nnesha
do you mean \[x=\frac{ -3 \pm \sqrt{1} }{ 4 }\] ?
Yeah i just wrote them out, same thing
i just want make sure it's (-3-sqrt{1}) over 4 or -3 - (sqrt{1}/4})
alright square rooot of 1 is just one \[\frac{ -3 +1 }{ 4 }~,~~\frac{-3-1}{4}\] simplify this brb let me login to other laptop
okay
hmm there is a typo
x=-1, -1/2
right
yes that's right \[\frac{ -3+1 }{ 4 } \rightarrow \frac{-2}{4} \rightarrow \frac{-1}{2}\]
sweet but how arethese answers relevant to the solution because i know that these arent the answers since my assignment has answers like 2pi/3
so sin(x) = -1/2 and -1 u can use unit circle to find exact solution both values solutions are negative sign chart |dw:1445564803979:dw| so answer would be in 3rd and 4th quadrant
