Find the general solution of the following equation:

\[\sin x = \frac{1}{2}\]
Sum
Advertisements

Solution

We have:
\[\sin x = \frac{1}{2}\]
The value of x satisfying \[\sin x = \frac{1}{2}\] is \[\frac{\pi}{6}\]

∴ \[\sin x = \frac{1}{2}\]
⇒ \[\sin x = \sin\frac{\pi}{6}\]
⇒ \[x = n\pi + ( - 1 )^n \frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[n \in Z\]
