\[\sin \frac{ \theta }{ 2 } -1 =0\]
Solve the equation given that \[0 \le \theta < 360\]
\[\sin \frac{ \theta }{ 2 } =1\]
\[\large\rm \sin\color{orangered}{x}=1\]Different angle this time, right?
Yes
So I have to find the angles where sine = 1 and double those?
Yes, and normally, you would double the 360k as well. But since we're in this interval 0 to 360, 720k isn't going to give us any new angles besides k=0.
\[\theta = 180\]
I guess this would be a nice way to generalize that "rule" or however you want to think of it: Whenever your theta is being multiplied by something, you'll need to include the +360k. When your theta is being divided by something, you won't need it.
So is my answer^^ correct?
yes, good job. sorry internet broke
That's to me too.
Thank You!
