Question 767520: This is a 3-part question.
1) Solve the following equation. Which of its values from the interval 0-180 degrees are correct? sin^2a + 1.5sina = 1
a) 30 degrees, 150 degrees; b) 45 degrees, 120 degrees; c) 60 degrees, 150 degrees; d) 30 degrees, 110 degrees.
2) Why can't we use the solution sina = -2 of the equation?
3) Solve also the equation sin^2a - 1.5sina = 1.
I do not know how to even begin to solve this problem. If you are unable to help me, could you recommend where I might look for help as I cannot find anything about it on the Internet. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Discard the root because the range of the function is
Using the unit circle:
The value of for an angle is the -coordinate of the point of intersection of the terminal ray of the angle and the unit circle. So find the two points in the desired interval where the -coordinate equals
Solve your other problem the same way, but you might want to reconsider the interval for your solutions if you are going to have any solutions at all.
