Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Solve the equation 2sin(x) - 1 = 0 for x in the interval [0, 2π].
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 2sin(x) - 1 = 0.
  • Step 2: Add 1 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with sin(x). This gives you 2sin(x) = 1.
  • Step 3: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for sin(x). This results in sin(x) = 1/2.
  • Step 4: Now, we need to find the values of x where sin(x) = 1/2 within the interval [0, 2π].
  • Step 5: The sine function equals 1/2 at two specific angles: x = π/6 and x = 5π/6.
  • Step 6: However, we are looking for the solution in the interval [0, 2π].
  • Step 7: The angle that corresponds to sin(x) = 1/2 in the first quadrant is x = π/6, and in the second quadrant is x = 5π/6.
  • Step 8: Therefore, the solutions for x in the interval [0, 2π] are x = π/6 and x = 5π/6.
