Overview Trig Equations
Home
1) Rearrange the equation into the form
Sin A
eg) Solve 5Sin(2px) 4
Sin(2px) 0.8
2) Find a solution to the trig equation
Check if degrees or radians!
Where A 2px
Sin(A) 0.8
A Sin-1 0.8 0.927 radians
3) Find several solutions for A
Using graph or unit circle
Note p so use radians
A p 0.927 2.214 rad
4) Use A to find solutions for x
A 0.927 or 2.214
Use each A to find x
x 0.927 2p 0.148
Where A 2px so x A 2p
x 2.214 2p 0.352
