csc3x1 Find all of the exact solutions to the following equa
csc(3x)=-1
Find all of the exact solutions to the following equation (which are in the interval [0,2pi)
Solution
cosec (3x) = -1
1/ sin(3x) = -1
sin(3x) = -1
sin(3x)= -sin (90) ----------------------------------1
[sin is -ve in IIIrd and IV quadrant)
so sin (3x) = sin(180 +90) ( sin(180+@) = - sin@)
sin( 3x) = sin(270)
3x = 270
x = 90
from eq 1:
sin(3x) = -sin(90)
sin(3x) = sin( 360- 90)
sin(3x) = sin(270)
x = 90
