3.7 Trig Equations Warm-up (IN) 1.Solve: 2.Find the exact value of: Learning Objective: to identify numerous solutions to trig equations, understand the procedure to locate the solutions using appropriate visual cues, and develop number sense with extensive use of fractions.
Ex 1 – Determine whether the following are solutions to the equation No! Yes!
Ex 2 – Solve. List 8 solutions What is the period for cos? So… Ex 3 – Solve the equations on the interval General formula
We know where sin=1/2 So… But…there are more π/12s that work! So, use the general formula…
We know where tan=1 So…
Ex 4 – Solve using calculator We can use 2 nd sin, but that would only give us one answer and we need all of them between 0 and 2 π So, graph it…but don’t forget to change to radians! And, change your window
