  • How would you use a graph of y equals sin x to find the solutions of sin x equals 0.5 for 0 degree less or equal than x less or equal than 360 degree?

    To find the solutions of sin x equals 0.5 for 0 degree less or equal than x less or equal than 360 degree using the graph y equals sin x:

    • draw the horizontal line y equals 0.5

    • use the symmetry of the graph to find the other solution

    Graph of y = sin x. A vertical line at 30º on the x-axis meets the curve at y = 0.5. A horizontal line is drawn across from this point until it touches the curve again and a vertical line is drawn down from here until it meets the x-axis at 150º.

  • True or False?

    After finding the first solution for an equation involving the cosine function, you can find another solution by subtracting the first solution from 180º.

    False.

    After finding the first solution for an equation involving the cosine function, you can find another solution by subtracting the first solution from 360º.

    The cosine graph showing that to find a second solution to an equation involving cos can be done by subtracting the first solution from 360º.

  • What angle should you add to or subtract from a first solution to find another solution for an equation involving the tangent function?

    If you know a first solution for an equation involving the tangent function, you can add to or subtract 180º from it to find another solution .
