Solve the following inequality Express the exact answer in i
Solve the following inequality. Express the exact answer in interval notation, restricting your attention to -2pi
Solution
sin(2x) >= sinx
Interval -2pi<=x <= 2pi
sin(2x) - sinx > =0
2sinxcosx -sinx>=0
sinx( 2cosx -1) >=0
sinx> =0 and 2cosx -1> =0
x>=0, pi , 2pi, -pi, -2pi
2cosx -1> =0 ---> cosx >= 1/2
x >=pi/3 , 5pi/3 , -pi/3 , -5pi/3
Option C satisfies the solution
