Solve the equation for exact solutions in the interval [0,360). sin2Theta = 2cos^2Theta
Solve the equation. arcsinx-2arcc sqrt(3)/2 = pi/3
I don't understand what you're suppose to do are you suppose to get x by it self or am I suppose to use a identitie, I really have no idea.
And what is the difference between "solve the equation for exact solutions" compared to just "solve the equation"
sin^2 (theta) = 2cos^2(theta)
sin^2(theta) = 2[ 1 - sin^2(theta)]
sin^2(theta) = 2 - 2 sin^2(theta) add 2 sin^2(theta) to both sides
3sin^2(theta) = 2 divide both sides by 3
sin^2(theta) = 2/3 take the positive/negative sqrt
sin(theta) = sqrt (2/3) and sin(theta) = - sqrt(2/3)
Using the arcsin we have
arcsin[ sqrt(2/3)] = about 54.74° and about (180 - 54.74)° = 125.26°
arcsin [ - sqrt(2/3)] = about - 54.74° = (180 + 54.74) ° = about 234.74° and about (360 - 54.74)° = about 305.26°
Here's a graph of the intersection points of the two functions........https://www.desmos.com/calculator/8bcyqeldft
[ For your second question, what is "arcc" ???]

Here's the second one :
arcsinx-2arccos sqrt(3)/2 = pi/3 [ arccos sqrt(3/2) has two values on [0, 2pi] .......pi/6 and 11pi/6 ]
So we have
arc sinx - 2[pi6] = pi/3
arcsinx - pi/3 = pi/3 add pi/3 to both sides
arcsinx = 2pi/3
Notice that no solution exists, because the sine's greatest value = 1....so we are trying to find an angle whose sine = 2pi/3 ....... and 2pi/3 > 1, so this doesn't angle exist
Also........if we calculated this for 11pi/ 6, we would have the same problem
arcsinx - 2 [11pi/6] = pi/3
arcsinx - 11pi/3 = pi/3
arcsinx = 12pi/3 = 4pi and this is much greater than 1
So........no solution exists for the second problem
