find the solutions of the equation that are in the interval [0,2pi)
(a) sin2t+sint=0
(b)cost-sin2t=0
To find the solutions of the given equations in the interval [0, 2π), we'll go step by step for each equation.
(a) sin(2t) + sin(t) = 0:
Step 1: Start by using the trigonometric identity sin(2t) = 2sin(t)cos(t). The equation can be rewritten as:
2sin(t)cos(t) + sin(t) = 0.
Step 2: Factor out sin(t):
sin(t)(2cos(t) + 1) = 0.
Step 3: Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for t:
sin(t) = 0 => t = 0, π.
2cos(t) + 1 = 0 => cos(t) = -1/2.
To find the values of t in the interval [0, 2π), we can use the unit circle or trigonometric ratios.
From the unit circle, we know that cos(t) = -1/2 when t = 2π/3 or t = 4π/3.
Thus, the solutions in the interval [0, 2π) are t = 0, π, 2π/3, and 4π/3.
(b) cos(t) - sin(2t) = 0:
Step 1: Use the trigonometric identity sin(2t) = 2sin(t)cos(t). The equation becomes:
cos(t) - 2sin(t)cos(t) = 0.
Step 2: Factor out cos(t):
cos(t)(1 - 2sin(t)) = 0.
Step 3: Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for t:
cos(t) = 0 => t = π/2, 3π/2.
1 - 2sin(t) = 0 => sin(t) = 1/2.
From the unit circle or trigonometric ratios, we know that sin(t) = 1/2 when t = π/6 or t = 5π/6.
Therefore, the solutions in the interval [0, 2π) are t = π/2, π/6, 3π/2, and 5π/6.
