Solve for x sin(x) = square root of 3/2
Problem
Solution
Identify the equation as a basic trigonometric equation where we need to find the angle
x whose sine value is√(,3)/2 Determine the reference angle in the first quadrant. From the unit circle, we know that
sin(π/3)=√(,3)/2 (or60 .Find the second solution within the interval
[0,2*π) Since the sine function is positive in the second quadrant, we calculatex=π−π/3=(2*π)/3 (or120 .Generalize the solution to account for the periodicity of the sine function, which repeats every
2*π radians. We add2*n*π to each primary solution, wheren is any integer.
