For your earlier post for this same question at 3:17 am, I said
"for #2 I too, like Bob, was puzzled
First of all is it
sin 2θ = cos θ or sin2 θ = cos θ ?
for the first one
2sinθcosθ - cosθ = 0
cosθ(1sinθ - 1) = 0
cosθ=0 or sinθ=1/2
so θ = 90º or θ = 30º or 150º for your domain, which is choice C "
how did you get your second line???
line: cosθ(1sinθ - 1) = 0
should have said
cosθ(2sinθ - 1) = 0
Please use ^ in front of exponents. Otherwise, we cannot tell sin (2theta) from (sin theta)^2.
Your first step is wrong, since cos theta is not necessarly equal to 1. Also, if sin theta were 1 or -1, why would the answer be B?
I will assume you meant to write sin (2theta) and will let x be theta, to simplify typing.
2 sin x cos x = cos x
2 sin x = 1
sin x = 1/2
x = 30 or 150 degrees.
You seem to have treated sin2theta as sin^2 theta, in your next-to-last step, but if you do that, the answer is completely different
my question is sin 2è = cos è NOT sin2 è = cos è. I'm sorry, I didn't understand your question earlier.
In that case the solution I just gave you above will be the correct one.
