sin%28x%29=-0.86+
x=sin%5E-1%28-0.86%29
x=-1.0353...(result in radians)
in general:
x=-1.0353%2B2pi%2An
x=pi+-1.0353%2B2pi%2An+
if n=0
x=-1.0353
x=2.1063
then
A+=-1.0353
B=2.1063

how do I do this problem ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The given equation

    sin(x) = -0.86

has two solutions in the given interval 0 <= x < 2pi.



One solution is in the third quadrant, QIII,

    x = arcsin(0.86) + pi radians = 1.03527 + 3.14159 radians = 4.1769 radians.



Second solution is in the fourth quadrant, QIV,

    x = 2pi - arcsin(0.86) radians = 2*3.14159 - 1.03527 radians = 5.2479 radians.



ANSWER.  The two solutions in the given interval are  A = 4.1769 radians  and  B = 5.2479 radians  (rounded as requested).


Solved.
