3 IIt will be imperative that you know the identities from Section 5.1. Concentrate on the reciprocal, quotient, and Pythagorean identities. TThe Pythagorean identities are crucial!

4 SSolve sin x = ½ WWhere on the circle does the sin x = ½ ? Particular Solutions General solutions Solve for [0,2π] Find all solutions

5

6  Find all solutions to: sin x + = -sin x

7  Solve

8 Round to nearest hundredth

9  Solve Verify graphically These 2 solutions are true because of the interval specified. If we did not specify and interval, you answer would be based on the period of tan x which is π and your only answer would be the first answer.

10  Quick review of Identities

11 Reciprocal Identities Also true:

12 Quotient Identities

13 Pythagorean Identities These are crucial! You MUST know them.

15 SStrategies CChange all functions to sine and cosine (or at least into the same function) SSubstitute using Pythagorean Identities CCombine terms into a single fraction with a common denominator SSplit up one term into 2 fractions MMultiply by a trig expression equal to 1 FFactor out a common factor

16

17 Hint: Make the words match so use a Pythagorean identity Quadratic: Set = 0 Combine like terms Factor—(same as 2x 2 -x-1)

18

19  You cannot divide both sides by a common factor, if the factor cancels out. You will lose a root…

20 Common factor— lost a root No common factor = OK

21  Sometimes, you must square both sides of an equation to obtain a quadratic. However, you must check your solutions. This method will sometimes result in extraneous solutions.

22 SSolve cos x + 1 = sin x in [0, 2π) TThere is nothing you can do. So, square both sides ((cos x + 1) 2 = sin 2 x ccos 2 x + 2cosx + 1 = 1 – cos 2 x 22cos 2 x + 2cosx = 0 NNow what? Remember—you want the words to match so use a Pythagorean substitution!

23 22cos 2 x + 2cosx = 0 22cosx(cosx + 1) = 0 22cosx = 0cosx + 1 = 0 ccosx = 0cosx = -1

24

25 SSolve 2cos3x – 1 = 0 for [0,2π) 22cos3x = 1 ccos3x = ½ HHint: pretend the 3 is not there and solve cosx = ½. AAnswer:  But….

26  In our problem 2cos3x – 1 = 0  What is the 2?  What is the 3?  This graph is happening 3 times as often as the original graph. Therefore, how many answers should you have? amplitude frequency 6

27 Add a whole circle to each of these And add the circle once again.

28 Final step: Remember we pretended the 3 wasn’t there, but since it is there, x is really 3x:

29 WWork the problems by yourself. Then compare answers with someone sitting next to you. RRound answers: 11. csc x = -5 (degrees) 22. 2 tanx + 3 = 0 (radians) 33. 2sec 2 x + tanx = 5 (radians)

30 44. 3sinx – 2 = 5sinx – 1 55. cos x tan x = cos x 66. cos 2  - 3 sin  = 3
