Solve the equation in the interval 0 2 Round to four decimal
Solve the equation in the interval [0, 2). Round to four decimal places.
15 sin^2 x 22 sin x + 8 = 0
Solution
15sin^2 x - 22 sin x + 8 = 0
sin x = y
equation becomes
15y^2 - 22y + 8 = 0
factoring the equation we get
( 5y - 4) ( 3 y - 2) =0
y = 4/5 , y = 2/3
or
sin x = 4/5 , sin x = 2/3
x = pi - sin^-1 (4/5) , x = sin^-1 (4/5)
x = pi - sin^-1 (2/3) , x = sin^-1 (2/3 )
solutions are
x = .9273 , x = pi - .9273
x = pi - .7297 , x = .7297
