Solving Trigonometric Equations

First Degree Trigonometric Equations:
• These are equations where there is one kind of trig function in the equation and that function is raised to the first power.
1)sin(2 x

Steps for Solving:
• Isolate the Trigonometric function.
• Use exact values to solve and put answers in terms of radians.
• If the answer is not an exact value, then use inverse functions on your calculator to get answers

Complete the List of Solutions:
• If you are not restricted to a specific interval and are asked to give the general solutions then remember that adding on any integer multiple of 2π represents a co-terminal angle with the equivalent trigonometric ratio.

Second Degree Trigonometric Equations:
• These are equations that have one kind of Trigonometric function that is squared in the problem.
• We treat these like quadratic equations and attempt to factor or we can use the quadratic formula.

Writing in terms of 1 trig fnc
• If there is more than one trig function involved in the problem, then use your identities.
• Replace one of the trig functions with an identity so there is only one trig function being used

Solving for Multiple Angles
• Multiple angle problems will now have a coefficient on the x, such as sin2x=1
• Solve the same way as previous problems, but divide answers by the coefficient
• For general solutions divide 2 by the coefficient for sin and cos. Divide by the coefficient for tan and cot.
