Question 697952: solve the equation for 0 ≤ theta ≥ 2pi. write your answer as multiple of pi, if possible
2sin theta (cos theta) + cos theta=0 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the equation for 0 <= theta <= 2pi.
write your answer as a multiple of pi, if possible
-------
2sin(theta)*cos (theta) + cos(theta) = 0
------------------
Factor:
cos(theta)[2sin(theta)+1] = 0
-------
cos(theta) = 0 or sin(theta) = -1/2
-------
theta = pi/2 or (3/2)pi or (7/6)pi or (11/6)pi
