Solving for angles that are not on UC We will work through solutions algebraically and graphically. Learning both methods will enhance your understanding of the work.
Method 1: Algebraically: Step 1 Set the calculator in degree mode and use the inverse sine key
Find the final answer(s) for the given range. Since the answer given by your calculator is NOT between 0 and 360 degrees, find the proper answers by using RA.
Method 2: Solving Graphically
Method 1: Algebraically: Step 1: Set the calculator in radian mode and use the inverse sine key
Step 2: Determine the Proper Quadrant
Method 2: Graphically Step 1 Set the calculator in radian mode.
Use your knowledge of trig functions to choose an appropriate window Use the intersect Key once more for the second point of intersection. i.e solution.
When you use the graphing method, you can easily see there is more than one solution. When using the graphing method, it might take a while to set the window properly. The algebraic method is quicker, however, you have to make sure to look for a possible second answer.

Find the appropriate quadrant
Another way: ignore the negative sign.
Graphing Calculator: Although this is a reasonable window to start with, it does not capture the graph. So change Ymin and Ymax.

Graphically and algebraically represent the following: All real numbers greater than 11 Graph: Inequality: Interval: Example Infinity never ends. Thus we always use parentheses to indicate there is no endpoint.
Describe, graphically, and algebraically represent the following: Description: Graph: Interval: Example All real numbers greater than or equal to 1 and less than 5
Describe and algebraically represent the following: Describe: Inequality: Symbolic: Example All real numbers less than -2 or greater than 4 The union or combination of the two sets.
Example 4 Domain: Range: Domain: Range: Describe the domain and range of both functions in interval notation:
Example 5 Find the domain and range of. t h ER DOMAIN:RANGE: The range is clear from the graph and table. The input to a square root function must be greater than or equal to 0 Dividing by a negative switches the sign
2 < x < 6 is a compound inequality, read as “2 is less than x, and x is less than or equal to 6.” Compound Inequalities A compound inequality consists of two inequalities connected by the words and or or. For example:
Compound Inequalities – two possible cases: And/Or Graph all real numbers that are greater than zero and less than or equal to 4. 0 < x < 4 AND cases have the variable in-between two numbers. The graph is therefore in-between two numbers. This is the INTERSECTION of the Individual Solutions.
Compound Inequalities – two cases: And/Or Graph all real numbers that are less than –1 or greater than 2. x OR cases have TWO separate answers and are solved (and graphed) separately (but on the same number line). The graph of this case goes in opposite directions. (This is the Union of the solutions to either inequality)
