Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the equation sin(x) = 0.5 for x in the interval [0, 2π].
Correct Answer: x = π/6 and x = 5π/6
  • Step 1: Understand the equation sin(x) = 0.5. We need to find the values of x where the sine of x equals 0.5.
  • Step 2: Recall the unit circle and the values of sine for common angles. The sine of an angle is 0.5 at specific angles.
  • Step 3: Identify the angles where sin(x) = 0.5. These angles are π/6 and 5π/6.
  • Step 4: Check if these angles are within the interval [0, 2π]. Both π/6 and 5π/6 are within this interval.
  • Step 5: Write down the solutions. The solutions to the equation sin(x) = 0.5 in the interval [0, 2π] are x = π/6 and x = 5π/6.
