Answer on Question #58925 – Math – Trigonometry

Question

1. Evaluate sin1(22)\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right). Express your answer in radians.

Solution

If sin1\sin^{-1} means the inverse of the sine function, then


sin1(22)=π4, that is, sin1(22)=45.\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}, \text{ that is, } \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = 45{}^\circ.


If sin1(x)=1sin(x)\sin^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{\sin(x)} then


sin1(22)=1sin(22)1sin(0.707)10.651.539.\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{\sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)} \approx \frac{1}{\sin(0.707)} \approx \frac{1}{0.65} \approx 1.539.


Answer: π4\frac{\pi}{4}.

Question

2. Is the value π16\frac{\pi}{16} a solution for the equation 2cos2(4x)1=02\cos^2(4x) - 1 = 0?

False

True

Solution

Let x=π16x = \frac{\pi}{16}. Then


2cos2(4x)1=2cos2(4π16)1=2cos2(π4)1=2(22)21=2241=11=0x=π16 is a solution for the equation 2cos2(4x)1=0, hence it is true.\begin{aligned} 2 \cos^2(4x) - 1 &= 2 \cos^2\left(4 \cdot \frac{\pi}{16}\right) - 1 \\ &= 2 \cos^2\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) - 1 \\ &= 2 \left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)^2 - 1 \\ &= 2 \cdot \frac{2}{4} - 1 \\ &= 1 - 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \\ &\Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi}{16} \text{ is a solution for the equation } 2 \cos^2(4x) - 1 = 0, \text{ hence it is true}. \end{aligned}


Answer: True.

Question

3. Is the value 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2} a solution for the equation 2sin2(x)sin(x)1=02\sin^2(x) - \sin(x) - 1 = 0.

Solution

Let x=3π2x = \frac{3\pi}{2}. Then 2sin2(x)sin(x)1=2sin2(3π2)sin(3π2)1=2\sin^2(x) - \sin(x) - 1 = 2\sin^2\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) - \sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) - 1 =

=2sin2(π+π2)sin(π+π2)1=2(1)2(1)1=2+11=20x=3π2 is not a solution for the equation 2sin2(x)sin(x)1=0, hence it is false.= 2 \sin^2\left(\pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) - \sin\left(\pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) - 1 = 2(-1)^2 - (-1) - 1 = 2 + 1 - 1 = 2 \neq 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{3\pi}{2} \text{ is not a solution for the equation } 2 \sin^2(x) - \sin(x) - 1 = 0, \text{ hence it is false}.


Answer: False.
