I'm not sure if I am doing these problems right. And for some of them I can`t figure out how they would be factored. I'll e-mail what I have done so far.
Solve each problem for theta(there is no sign on my computer)for 0 is less than or equal to theta which is less less than 360
- 2cosx-1=0
cosx=1/2
Anwser 60,300
- tanx-2sinxtanx=0
tanx(-2sin+1)=0 (factor ?)
tanx=0 and sin= 1/2 (solve from there?)
- 2sinx-cscx=0
2sinx-1/sinx=0
3sinx-1=0
3sinx=1/3(?)
- 4cos(2x)+2cosx= -1
8cosx+2cosx+1=0
10cosx+1=0
10cosx= -1/10 (?)
- cos(2x-30)=1/2
cos2x-cos30=1/2
cos2x-cos30-1/2=0
i don`t know what to do know
- Sinx+cosx=0
Square both sides?
Hi Grant,
Here a few hints.
- 2cosx-1=0
cosx=1/2
Anwser 60,300
- tanx-2sinxtanx=0
tanx(-2sin+1)=0 (factor ?)
tanx=0 and sin= 1/2 (solve from there?)
- 2sinx-cscx=0
2sinx-1/sinx=0
3sinx-1=0
3sinx=1/3(?)
Here you have a mistake, you should get 2sin2(x) - 1 = 0
- 4cos(2x)+2cosx= -1
8cosx+2cosx+1=0
10cosx+1=0
10cosx= -1/10 (?)
rather than cos(2x) = 2cos(x) (which is false in general),
you should use the identity
cos(2x) = cos2(x) - sin2(x) =
cos2(x) - (1 - cos2(x)) = 2cos2(x) - 1
- cos(2x-30)=1/2
cos2x-cos30=1/2
cos2x-cos30-1/2=0
i don`t know what to do know
In 1) you solved cosy=1/2 Anwser y = 60,300.
Therefore for cos(2x-30)=1/2 you get the answer 2x+30 = 60, 300.
- Sinx+cosx=0
Square both sides?
