solvefor x, 1/(sin(x))-4<0

Solution

solve for

x, \frac{1}{sin ( x )} - 4 < 0

Solution

arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn < x < π - arcsin (\frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn or - π + 2 πn < x < 2 πn

Solution steps

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - 4 < 0

Rewrite in standard form

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - 4 < 0

Simplify

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - 4 : \frac{1 - 4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )}

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} - 4

Convert element to fraction:

4 = \frac{4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{1}{sin ( x )} - \frac{4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 - 4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )}

\frac{1 - 4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )} < 0

\frac{1 - 4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )} < 0

Identify the intervals

Find the signs of the factors of

\frac{1 - 4 sin ( x )}{sin ( x )}

Find the signs of

1 - 4 sin (x)

1 - 4 sin (x) = 0 : sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

1 - 4 sin (x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 - 4 sin (x) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 4 sin (x) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

- 4 sin (x) = - 1

- 4 sin (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 sin (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 4

\frac{- 4 sin ( x )}{- 4} = \frac{- 1}{- 4}

Simplify

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{4}

1 - 4 sin (x) < 0 : sin (x) > \frac{1}{4}

1 - 4 sin (x) < 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 - 4 sin (x) < 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 4 sin (x) - 1 < 0 - 1

Simplify

- 4 sin (x) < - 1

- 4 sin (x) < - 1

Multiply both sides by

- 1

- 4 sin (x) < - 1

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(- 4 sin (x)) (- 1) > (- 1) (- 1)

Simplify

4 sin (x) > 1

4 sin (x) > 1

Divide both sides by

4

4 sin (x) > 1

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 sin ( x )}{4} > \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

sin (x) > \frac{1}{4}

sin (x) > \frac{1}{4}

1 - 4 sin (x) > 0 : sin (x) < \frac{1}{4}

1 - 4 sin (x) > 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 - 4 sin (x) > 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 4 sin (x) - 1 > 0 - 1

Simplify

- 4 sin (x) > - 1

- 4 sin (x) > - 1

Multiply both sides by

- 1

- 4 sin (x) > - 1

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverse the inequality)

(- 4 sin (x)) (- 1) < (- 1) (- 1)

Simplify

4 sin (x) < 1

4 sin (x) < 1

Divide both sides by

4

4 sin (x) < 1

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 sin ( x )}{4} < \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

sin (x) < \frac{1}{4}

sin (x) < \frac{1}{4}

Find the signs of
