If x is obtuse and sin x equals b how do you show sin 2x is less than b?
you need to explain it better but with what i got i if sin x equals b obviously sin 2x is double of b hence sin 2x is more than b. {Not obvious at all, actually. And the above is false. Sin(Pi/2) = 1 and Sin(Pi)=0. But clearly 2 is not greater than 0. Contradiction.} Obtuse means Pi/2 < x < Pi So, sin(x) = b means b>0, because sin(y) > 0 if 0<y<Pi sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x) cos(x) < 0 because cos(Pi/2)= 0 and the derivative is negative there. Hence, sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x) = 2*b*(-K), where K is a positive constant Since b>0, -2Kb < b
Sin x cos x equals 0?
For the product to be zero, any of the factors must be zero, so you solve, separately, the two equations: sin x = 0 and: cos x = 0 Like many trigonometric equations, this will have an infinity of solutions, since sine and cosine are periodic functions.
What is limit as x approaches 0 of sin squared x by x?
lim(x->0) of sin(x)^2/x we use L'Hospital's Rule and derive the top and the bottomd/dx(sin(x)^2/x)=2*sin(x)*cos(x)/1lim(x->0) of 2*sin(x)*cos(x)=2*0*1=0
Show that sin x equals cos x for some angle t between 0 and 90?
sin(x) = cos(x)sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x) = 1x = arctan(1) = 45 degreessin(45)=cos(45) = Sqrt(2)/2 Answer: By observation. Since Sine = Opposite over hypotenuse and Cosine = Adjacent over hypotenuse. Any right angle triangle where the opposite and adjacent sides are the same length will have Sine equal to Cosine. This only happens with an isosceles triangle (two sides are equal in length). When one angle is 90o the other two are 45o.
What is the limit of x- sin x cos x over tan x -x as x tends to zero?
It is minus 1 I did this: sinx/cos x = tan x sinx x = cosx tanx you have (x - sinxcosx) / (tanx -x) (x- cos^2 x tan x)/(tanx -x) let x =0 -cos^2 x (tanx) /tanx = -cos^x -cos^2 (0) = -1
