Solving Equations Y1= Turn everything into the same trig function Everything on one side = 0 Factor Set Each Piece = 0 Quadratic Formula
Find all the solutions ofin the interval x Because you squared the original, check for extraneous solutions.
Directions are generic! Solve 2cos u – 1 = 0 Let u = 3t cos u = 1/2 cos u =1/2 u = u =
