Incorrect
Correct

1.3 Step 2

Substitute sin() = 2sin(θ)cos(θ) into sin(θ) = sin() and algebraically rearrange the equation so we have a product of two factors set equal to zero.

sin(θ) = sin()

sin(θ) = 2·sin(θ)cos(θ)

Question 1.2

sin(θ) - 2sin(θ)cos(θ) = 1Wh3cvJ2xF4=

Incorrect
Correct

Question 1.3

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.

Correct

1.4 Step 3

For 0 ≤ θ < 2π, there are two values of θ where sin(θ) = 0.

Correct.
Incorrect.

1.5 Step 4

Solve 1 − 2cos(θ) = 0 for cos(θ) and then solve for θ.

1 − 2cos(θ) = 0

cos(θ) =
