sin(1/2 x)-1=0

Solution

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) - 1 = 0

Solution

x = π + 4 πn

Degrees

x = 18 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) = 1

sin (\frac{1}{2} x) = 1

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = π + 4 πn

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

2

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} x = 2 \cdot \frac{π}{2} + 2 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} x = 2 \cdot \frac{π}{2} + 2 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} x : x

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} x

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2} x

Cancel the common factor:

2

= x \cdot 1

Multiply:

x \cdot 1 = x

= x

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{π}{2} + 2 \cdot 2 πn : π + 4 πn

2 \cdot \frac{π}{2} + 2 \cdot 2 πn

2 \cdot \frac{π}{2} = π

2 \cdot \frac{π}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{π 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= π

2 \cdot 2 πn = 4 πn

2 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 πn

= π + 4 πn

x = π + 4 πn

x = π + 4 πn

x = π + 4 πn

x = π + 4 πn
