FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the graphical representation of the equation sinx=cos3x\text{sin} x = \text{cos} 3x ?

Back

The solutions to the equation can be found by plotting the graphs of y = sin(x) and y = cos(3x) on the same set of axes and identifying their intersection points.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you solve the equation sinx+cos3x=0\text{sin} x + \text{cos} 3x = 0 graphically?

Back

To solve graphically, plot y = sin(x) and y = -cos(3x) on the same graph and find the x-values where the two curves intersect.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the equation sinx=3cosx\text{sin} x = 3 \text{cos} x represent graphically?

Back

This equation represents the points where the sine function is three times the cosine function. Graphically, plot y = sin(x) and y = 3cos(x) and find their intersection points.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the equation sinx=−12\text{sin} x = -\frac{1}{2} in trigonometry?

Back

This equation indicates the angles where the sine function takes the value of -1/2, which occurs in the third and fourth quadrants.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine the number of solutions for the equation 5sin2x−5=05\text{sin} 2x - 5 = 0 in the interval [0, 360]?

Back

Rearranging gives sin2x=1\text{sin} 2x = 1 . The sine function equals 1 at 2x=90o+360ok2x = 90^\text{o} + 360^\text{o}k , where k is an integer. Thus, solve for x to find the number of solutions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the graphical interpretation of the equation 2cosx+3sinx=02\text{cos} x + 3\text{sin} x = 0 ?

Back

This equation can be solved by plotting y = -2cos(x) and y = 3sin(x) and finding their intersection points.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does the equation cosx=−12\text{cos} x = -\frac{1}{2} signify?

Back

This equation indicates the angles where the cosine function equals -1/2, which occurs in the second and third quadrants.
