Solve for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.
sin(θ) = sin(2θ)
Notice that the given equation has a double angle. Recall the double-angle formula for the sine function.
sin(2θ) = 0a5Zo3IErDwQ3l14IGs+fYA138CaIdOnBLQJ63rqt/hA1T/xSzVNPowkLDHtXDuWb/zWYmt9MYKUMUBG4LZtndr0JaSCOagKnleGTg==
Substitute sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ) into sin(θ) = sin(2θ) and algebraically rearrange the equation so we have a product of two factors set equal to zero.
sin(θ) = sin(2θ)
sin(θ) = 2·sin(θ)cos(θ)
sin(θ) - 2sin(θ)cos(θ) = 1Wh3cvJ2xF4=
sin(θ)(1-2cos(θ)) = 0
Thus, we must find θ where either sin(θ) or 1-2·cos(θ) = 1Wh3cvJ2xF4=
Note that we did not divide by sin(θ) at any of the steps because we could be dividing by zero since there are values of θ where 0 ≤ θ < 2π and sin(θ) = 0.
For 0 ≤ θ < 2π, there are two values of θ where sin(θ) = 0.
θ = 1Wh3cvJ2xF4= (smaller value)
θ = π (larger value)
Solve 1 − 2cos(θ) = 0 for cos(θ) and then solve for θ.
1 − 2cos(θ) = 0
cos(θ) =
For 0 ≤ θ < 2π, there are two values of θ where cos(θ) = .
