AS Math queries
« on: September 03, 2009, 11:59:54 am »
Hey guys wud b glad if u cud help me with these sums

find the least 2 +ve values of @...

1)sin(2@+60)=0.3584
2)sin(30-@)=0.5
3)cos(3@-120)=0

Yes it is right
pls cud u post the steps

Thanks in advance

cos(3@-120)=0

(3\theta-120)=cos-10

3\theta-120)=360-cos-10

3\theta-120)=360+cos-10

3\theta-120)=720-cos-10

3\theta-120)=720+cos-10

3\theta-120)=1080-cos-10

3\theta-120)=1080+cos-10


Then solve all thes. Each equation mean a new \theta

sin(2@ + 60)=0.3584

sin-1(0.3584)=21.000 degrees

21 is the correspondance angle

nd now using the grid .... u will see tht 180-21 & 360+21fit .

180-21= 159
360+21 = 381

ur criteria was 2@+60
therefore 2@+60=159 & 2@+60 = 381

solve these to eqns nd u will end up with the answers

1)sin(2@+60)=0.3584
2)sin(30-@)=0.5

1)
2theta+60=sin-10.3584

2theta+60=180-sin-10.3584

2theta+60=360+sin-10.3584

2theta+60=540-sin-10.3584
and solve these 4 equations

2)sin(30-@)=0.5

30=\theta=sin-1(0.5)

30=\theta=sin-1(0.5)

180-30=\theta=sin-1(0.5)

Find all the values of @ in the interval -180<=@<=180
1)4sin@=5cos@
2)2sin@=1/sin@


Pls help me wit these sums
Guys i really suck in trignometry...wud b glad if u cud post some sites which demonstrate how to solve the type of sums that cum in the as and a level papers..... :)

I'll answer the second one in a while
for the first 1
4sintheta/5costheta=1
u r aware of
sintheta/costheta= tan theta
so
4sintheta/5costheta=0.8tantheta
0.8tantheta=1
tan theta=1 / 0.8
theta= tan-1(1/ 0.8)
theta=51.3
and 51.3-180=-128.7

hope u got it

second 1
2sin theta=1/sin theta
2=1/sin2theta
2sin2theta=1
sin2theta=1/2
sin theta= root of 1/2
theta= sin-1(1/2)1/2
theta= 45
and 45-180=-135

hope this helps and sorry for the delay
