Trigonometric Equations
Solve for x in R:
[tex]sin\text{ }\frac{x}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}[/tex]There are two angles whose sine is the given value: 45° and 135°. We need to express them in radians:
[tex]45^o=45\text{ }\frac{\pi}{180}=\frac{\pi}{4}[/tex][tex]135^o=135\frac{\pi}{180}=\frac{3\pi}{4}[/tex]Thus, we have two solutions:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{4}=\frac{\pi}{4} \\ x=\pi \\ And: \\ \frac{x}{4}=\frac{3\pi}{4} \\ x=3\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]Both solutions point to the same terminal angle, so we only have one solution in the first rotation of the angle:
x = π
Since it's required to find the solution for all the real numbers, we must account for all the possible angles in any number of rotations clockwise or counterclockwise as follows:
x = π + 2kπ
Where k is an integer number. For example, for k = 1, we have the already-found solution above x = 3π
