Trigonometric Functions and Their Applications

The video tutorial explains how to solve the trigonometric equation 1.2 cosine x equals sine 2x. It covers using a double angle identity for substitution, factoring the equation, and solving for cosine and sine. The tutorial identifies the two smallest positive solutions using a calculator and verifies them graphically. The solutions are approximately 0.644 radians and pi/2 radians.

What is the double angle identity used for sine 2x?

• sine 2a = sine a - cosine a

• sine 2a = 2 cosine a

• sine 2a = 2 sine a cosine a

• sine 2a = sine a + cosine a
