Check my answers?

OpenStudy (abbles):

For #4: Part I: \[\frac{ -\sqrt3 }{ 2 }\] and \[\frac{ \sqrt3 }{ 2 }\] Part II: pi/3, 2pi/3, 4pi/3, 5pi/3

OpenStudy (abbles):

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I'm pluggin in \[\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{ 2 },\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ 2 }\] for x and not getting the equation equal to 0.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

values that appear to be working for me are \[\frac{ - \pi }{ 3 },\frac{ \pi }{ 3 },and \frac{ 2\pi }{ 3 }\]

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

ignoring -pi/3 because it is outside of the domain. my mistake

OpenStudy (abbles):

hmm so pi/3 and 2pi/3 are working for part 1?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes those values when plugged in for x set the equation to become 0=0

OpenStudy (abbles):

Wait - part 1 is just solving for sinx, part 2 are the actual solutions

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

OH woops

OpenStudy (abbles):

Lol :) it's okay

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

no wonder it seemed so off to me

OpenStudy (abbles):

Why would 4pi/3 and 5pi/3 not work?

OpenStudy (abbles):

creepy profile picture by the way. I just noticed it was you sweetburger! haha

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I haven't tested those values yet they may. One moment.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

and lol

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

5pi/3 works but 4pi/3 does not when you plug it in for x.

OpenStudy (abbles):

:/ I wonder why..

OpenStudy (abbles):

Solving for sinx, I should get \[\pm \frac{ \sqrt3 }{ 2 }\] right?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Hmm 4pi/3 actually would work.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Your work all looks correct to me Scrabble. I dunno what spaghettiburger is going on about :O hmm

OpenStudy (abbles):

sin(4pi/3) equals -sqrt3/2...

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

lol

OpenStudy (abbles):

Hehehe xD

OpenStudy (abbles):

Okay, thanks :D Zep, do you know how to do #5? I'll open up a new Q, it's confuzzling me :/
