Activity 2
Example 1: Solve for 𝑥 if sin 𝑥 = sin 2𝑥
for 𝑥 ∈ [0,2𝜋]
Example 2: Determine all values for 𝑥 on 0,2𝜋

to solve 2 cos 𝑥 + 1 = 0
Exercise from the study guide for 0,2𝜋

3. 2 sin 𝑥 − 1 = 0
4. 2𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 = 1
5. tan 𝑥 = 1
Example 1: Solve for 𝑥 if sin 𝑥 = sin 2𝑥 for 𝑥 ∈ [0,2𝜋]
sin 𝑥 = sin 2𝑥
∴ sin 𝑥 − sin 2𝑥 = 0
∴ sin 𝑥 − 2 sin 𝑥 cos 𝑥 = 0
∴ sin 𝑥(1 − 2 cos 𝑥) = 0
∴ sin 𝑥 = 0 𝑂𝑅 1 − 2 cos 𝑥 = 0
