Question 1024641: Please help me to solve this problem
Y=2sinx
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you cannot solve this problem unless you know the value of x, or you know the value of y.
an example:
suppose x = 30 degrees.
the formula of y = 2 * sin(x) becomes y = 2 * sin(30).
you would use your calculator to find the value of sin(30), and you will get sin(30) = 1/2 = .5.
the formula then becomes y = 2 * .5 which will get you y = 1.
now, suppose you were given that y = 1.
the equation of y = 2sin(x) becomes 1 = 2sin(x).
you would divide both sides of the equaiton by 2 to get 1/2 = sin(x).
you would use the trigonometric rule that, if sin(x) = 1/2, then arcsin(1/2) = x.
you would use your calculator again to find that arcsin(1/2) = 30 degrees.
but, ........
unless you know the value of x, or the value of y, there's no way you can solve for the other.
