Algebra.Com's Answer #729669 by greenestamps(13200)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "As you can see, there are different ways of explaining how to find all the solutions. Here is what is easiest for me.... \n" ); document.write( "(1) A sine value of -sqrt(3)/2 means a 60 degree reference angle in quadrant III or IV. \n" ); document.write( "(2) \n" ); document.write( "So we need to find all the values of x for which 2x is an angle in quadrant III or IV with a reference angle of 60 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Angles 2x between 0 and 720 with a 60 degree reference angle in quadrant III or IV are \n" ); document.write( "(a) 180+60 = 240 degrees; \n" ); document.write( "(b) 360-60 = 300 degrees; \n" ); document.write( "(c) 240+360 = 600 degrees; and \n" ); document.write( "(d) 300+360 = 660 degrees \n" ); document.write( "Then the corresponding values of x (the solutions to the given equation) are \n" ); document.write( "(a) 240/2 = 120 degrees; \n" ); document.write( "(b) 300/2 = 150 degrees; \n" ); document.write( "(c) 600/2 = 300 degrees; and \n" ); document.write( "(d) 660/2 = 330 degrees \n" ); document.write( " |
