Use inverse trigonometric functions to find the solutions of
Use inverse trigonometric functions to find the solutions of the equation that are in the given interval, and approximate the solutions to four decimal places. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
10 sin2x = sin x + 2; [0, 2)
x=
Solution
10sin2x = -sinx+2 ---> If this is the question then it cannot be solved by alzebraically only graphical
solution is possible.
10sin^2x = -sinx+2
10sin^2x +sinx =2
10sin^2x +sinx -2 =0
solve by factorisation:
10sin^2x +5sinx -4sinx -2 =0
5sin(2sinx +1) -2(2sinx +1) =0
(5sinx-2)(2sinx+1) =0
sinx = 2/5
x =sin^-1(2/5) = 0.4115 radians
x = pi - sin^-1(2/5) = 2.7300 radians
sinx = -1/2
x= pi + sin^-1(1/2) = 3.6652
x = 2pi - sin^-1(1/2) = 5.7595
Solution : x= 0.4115, 2.7300 , 3.6652, 5.7595 radians
