Slide 9.5-3 9.5Trigonometric Equations and Inequalities (I) Solving a Trigonometric Equation by Linear Methods ExampleSolve 2 sin x – 1 = 0 over the interval [0, 2  ). Analytic SolutionSince this equation involves the first power of sin x, it is linear in sin x.

SolutionThis equation is quadratic in term tan x. The solutions for tan x = 1 in [0, 2  ) are x = Use a calculator to find the solution to tan -1 (–2)  –1.107148718. To get the values in the interval [0, 2  ), we add  and 2  to tan -1 (–2) to get x = tan -1 (–2) +   2.03443936 and x = tan -1 (–2) + 2   5.176036589.

SolutionRewrite the expression in standard quadratic form to get cot 2 x + 3 cot x – 1 = 0, with a = 1, b = 3, c = –1, and cot x as the variable. Since we cannot take the inverse cotangent with the calculator, we use the fact that

Since the period of cotangent is , we add  and then 2  to –.29400113018 to get 2.847591352 and 5.989184005. The second value, 1.276795025, is in the interval, so we add  to it to get another solution. The solution set is {1.28, 2.85, 4.42, 5.99}.

10 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 9.5-10 9.5Solving a Trigonometric Equation by Squaring and Trigonometric Substitution ExampleSolve over the interval [0, 2  ). SolutionSquare both sides and use the identity 1 + tan 2 x = sec 2 x.

11 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 9.5-11 9.4The Inverse Sine Function Solving a Trigonometric Equation Analytically 1.Decide whether the equation is linear or quadratic, so you can determine the solution method. 2.If only one trigonometric function is present, solve the equation for that function. 3.If more than one trigonometric function is present, rearrange the equation so that one side equals 0. Then try to factor and set each factor equal to 0 to solve. 4.If the equation is quadratic in form, but not factorable, use the quadratic formula. Check that solutions are in the desired interval. 5.Try using identities to change the form of the equation. It may be helpful to square each side of the equation first. If this is done, check for extraneous values.

12 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 9.5-12 9.4The Inverse Sine Function Solving a Trigonometric Equation Graphically 1.For an equation of the form f(x) = g(x), use the intersection-of-graphs method. 2.For an equation of the form f(x) = 0, use the x-intercept method.
