Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The equation 3sin2x1=0 3 \sin 2x - 1 = 0 is a trigonometric equation.
2. We are solving for x x within the interval [0,2π] [0, 2\pi] .
3. The function sin2x\sin 2x has a period of π\pi.

STEP 2

1. Isolate the trigonometric function sin2x\sin 2x.
2. Solve the equation sin2x=13\sin 2x = \frac{1}{3}.
3. Find all solutions for 2x2x within the interval [0,4π][0, 4\pi].
4. Solve for xx by dividing the solutions for 2x2x by 2.
5. Ensure all solutions for xx fall within the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi].

STEP 3

First, isolate sin2x\sin 2x by adding 1 to both sides and then dividing by 3:
3sin2x1=0 3 \sin 2x - 1 = 0 3sin2x=1 3 \sin 2x = 1 sin2x=13 \sin 2x = \frac{1}{3}

STEP 4

Solve the equation sin2x=13\sin 2x = \frac{1}{3}. We need to find the general solutions for 2x2x:
The general solution for sinθ=a\sin \theta = a is given by: θ=arcsin(a)+2kπorθ=πarcsin(a)+2kπ \theta = \arcsin(a) + 2k\pi \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = \pi - \arcsin(a) + 2k\pi
For sin2x=13\sin 2x = \frac{1}{3}, we have: 2x=arcsin(13)+2kπ 2x = \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) + 2k\pi 2x=πarcsin(13)+2kπ 2x = \pi - \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) + 2k\pi

STEP 5

Find all solutions for 2x2x within the interval [0,4π][0, 4\pi]:
1. Calculate arcsin(13)\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right). Let's denote it as α\alpha.
2. The solutions for 2x2x are: - 2x=α+2kπ2x = \alpha + 2k\pi - 2x=πα+2kπ2x = \pi - \alpha + 2k\pi

For k=0k = 0: - 2x=α2x = \alpha - 2x=πα2x = \pi - \alpha
For k=1k = 1: - 2x=α+2π2x = \alpha + 2\pi - 2x=πα+2π2x = \pi - \alpha + 2\pi
Check which solutions fall within [0,4π][0, 4\pi].

STEP 6

Calculate specific values for 2x2x and check the interval:
1. 2x=α2x = \alpha
2. 2x=πα2x = \pi - \alpha
3. 2x=α+2π2x = \alpha + 2\pi
4. 2x=πα+2π2x = \pi - \alpha + 2\pi

Assuming α=arcsin(13)\alpha = \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right), compute the approximate values and ensure they fall within [0,4π][0, 4\pi].

STEP 7

Solve for xx by dividing each valid 2x2x solution by 2:
1. x=α2x = \frac{\alpha}{2}
2. x=πα2x = \frac{\pi - \alpha}{2}
3. x=α+2π2x = \frac{\alpha + 2\pi}{2}
4. x=πα+2π2x = \frac{\pi - \alpha + 2\pi}{2}

STEP 8

Ensure all solutions for xx fall within the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi]:
Verify each calculated xx value is within the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi].
The solutions for xx are approximately:
x=arcsin(13)2,πarcsin(13)2,arcsin(13)+2π2,πarcsin(13)+2π2 x = \frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}{2}, \frac{\pi - \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}{2}, \frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) + 2\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi - \arcsin\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) + 2\pi}{2}
