QuestionFind θ\theta in [0,360)[0^{\circ}, 360^{\circ}) such that cscθ=233\csc \theta=\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3}. θ=\theta=\square^{\circ}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The function value is given as cscθ=33\csc \theta=\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{3} . The range of θ\theta is from 00^{\circ} to 360360^{\circ} (inclusive of 00^{\circ}, exclusive of 360360^{\circ})
3. We are looking for all possible values of θ\theta within this range.

STEP 2

The cosecant function, cscθ\csc \theta, is the reciprocal of the sine function, sinθ\sin \theta. Therefore, we can rewrite the given equation assinθ=1cscθ\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\csc \theta}

STEP 3

Substitute the given value of cscθ\csc \theta into the equationsinθ=1233\sin \theta = \frac{1}{\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3}}

STEP 4

implify the right side of the equationsinθ=323\sin \theta = \frac{3}{2 \sqrt{3}}

STEP 5

Rationalize the denominator of the right side of the equationsinθ=33=32\sin \theta = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

STEP 6

Now, we need to find all angles θ\theta in the interval [0,360)[0^{\circ},360^{\circ}) for which sinθ=32\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

STEP 7

From the unit circle or the sine function graph, we know that sinθ=32\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} for θ=60\theta =60^{\circ} and θ=120\theta =120^{\circ} within the given interval.
Therefore, the solution to the equation is θ=60,120\theta =60^{\circ},120^{\circ}.
