Find all real numbers that satisfy the following equation 2
Solution
we have given 2sin(2x)=-1
sin(2x)=-1/2
2x=-pi/6
x=-pi/12
To find the second solution, subtract the solution from 2, to find a reference angle. Next, add this reference angle to pi to find the solution in the third quadrant.
2x=2pi+pi/6+pi =19pi/6
x=19pi/12
the period function is 2pi/|b| =2pi/2 =pi since sin(2x)=-1,b=2
The period of the sin(2x) function is pi so values will repeat every pi radians in both directions
x=-pi/12(+/-)kpi,x=19pi/12(+/-)kpi,k is any integer
answer is A
A) the soluction set {x| x=-pi/12(+/-)kpi or x=19pi/12(+/-)kpi}
