Find a solution to the equation if possible. Give the answer in exact form and in decimal form.
8=4sin(5x)
4sin(5x) = 8
sin(5x) = 2
Sorry, -1 <= sin(5x) <= 1
so there is no solution
To solve the equation 8 = 4sin(5x), we need to isolate the variable x. Let's go through the steps:
Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
8/4 = sin(5x)
2 = sin(5x)
Step 2: In order to find the value of x, we need to find the inverse sine (also known as arcsine) of 2. However, since the sine function only ranges from -1 to 1, the equation sin(5x) = 2 has no solutions. This means that there is no value of x that satisfies the equation.
Hence, there are no solutions to the equation 8 = 4sin(5x).
In decimal form, the solution would be empty since there are no solutions.
