In this section, we will be solving various types of trig equations
You will need to use all the procedures learned last year in Algebra II
All of your answers should be angles.
Note the difference between finding all solutions and finding all solutions in the domain [0, 2π)

SOLVING TRIG EQUATIONS
Guidelines to solving trig equations:
1) Isolate the trig function
2) Find the reference angle
3) Put the reference angle in the proper quadrant(s)
4) Create a formula for all possible answers (if necessary)

SOLVING TRIG EQUATIONS
Equations of the Quadratic Type
Many trig equations are of the quadratic type:
2Sin²x – Sin x – 1 = 0 2Cos²x + 3Sin x – 3 = 0
To solve such equations, factor the quadratic or, if that is not possible, use the quadratic formula
![Page 20: 5.3 Solving Trig equations](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56812e45550346895d93d476/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SOLVING TRIG EQUATIONS
Solve the following on the interval [0, 2π)
2Cos²x + Cos x – 1 = 0
If possible, factor the equation into two binomials.
2x² + x - 1
(2Cos x – 1) (Cos x + 1) = 0
Now set each factor equal to zero

SOLVING TRIG EQUATIONS
The last type of quadratic equation would be a problem such as:
Sec x + 1 = Tan x
What do these two trig functions have in common?
When you have two trig functions that are related
through a Pythagorean Identity, you can square
both sides.
