True?
good I'm gonna move this to math
Okay =)
B
keep in mind when you solve for cos(theta) you get -1/2 not 1/2 so cos(theta) = -1/2 check the unit circle to find the appropriate angles
C
|dw:1522770919112:dw|
so 2pi/3 and 4pi/3 option D
well the first step would be to isolate csc(x), what do you get there?
4csc(x) + 6 = -2 subtracting 6 from both sides: 4csc(x) = -8 divide both sides by 4 csc(x) = -2 re-writing csc in terms of sine gives us 1/sin(x) = -2 so sin(x) = -1/2 which would be which angles?
B
check the unit circle again, where does sin(x) = -1/2
Ugh Im getting b because of the -1/2
|dw:1522771634569:dw|
keep in mind: for the unit circle, the order of coordinates is cos(theta), sin(theta) so sin is the second coordinate making 7pi/6 and 11pi/6 your desired values
False
I plugged it into a calculator and I got -1 as the result so this must be true
False
good
A
hm not quite when you solved for sec(x) you should have gotten sec(x) = 1 so 1/cos(x) = 1 meaning that cos(x) = 1, what x value makes this true?
NOt D
cos(x) = 1 at 0 so yes, D is your sol'n
|dw:1522773503408:dw|
well looking at our good friend the UC we know that tan(theta) = sin/cos which is -1 at these two values|dw:1522773526462:dw|
B
now, keep in mind, the problem is tan(x/2) = -1 so if x/2 = 7pi/4 or 3pi/4 what might be a viable solution for x?
B??
good so B is your sol'n
C
yup good
A
check your calculations again when does tan(x) = 0 and where does tan(x) = 1
C
|dw:1522774126353:dw|
|dw:1522774131235:dw|
so tan(x) = 0 on integer multiples of pi, tan(x) = 1 on pi/4, 5pi/4, which answer choice best describes these solutions?
B
good
True?
when you factor this you'll get (2sin(x)+1))(sinx - 1) = 0, x = 3pi/2 is not a solution, so false
