In Exercises 54–67, solve each equation on the interval [0, 2𝝅). Use exact values where possible or give approximate solutions correct to four decimal places. sin 2x = √ 3 sin x
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Start by rewriting the given equation: \(\sin 2x = \sqrt{3} \sin x\).
Use the double-angle identity for sine: \(\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x\). Substitute this into the equation to get \(2 \sin x \cos x = \sqrt{3} \sin x\).
Bring all terms to one side: \(2 \sin x \cos x - \sqrt{3} \sin x = 0\). Factor out \(\sin x\): \(\sin x (2 \cos x - \sqrt{3}) = 0\).
Set each factor equal to zero and solve separately:
1) \(\sin x = 0\)
2) \(2 \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0\).
For \(\sin x = 0\), find all \(x\) in \([0, 2\pi)\) where sine is zero. For \(2 \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0\), solve for \(\cos x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and find all \(x\) in \([0, 2\pi)\) that satisfy this.

Double-Angle Identity for Sine
The double-angle identity expresses sin(2x) as 2 sin(x) cos(x). This allows rewriting the equation sin 2x = √3 sin x into a form involving sin(x) and cos(x), facilitating algebraic manipulation and solution finding.

Interval Restriction and Exact Values
Solutions must be found within the interval [0, 2π), meaning all valid angles between 0 and 2π are considered. Using exact values (like π/3, π/6) is preferred, but approximate decimal values to four decimal places are acceptable when exact forms are complex.
