Question

Find the general solution of the following equation:

4sin2θ = 1.

Sum

Solution

The general solution of sin2θ = sin2α is
θ = nπ ± α, n ∈ Z.
Now, 4 sin2θ = 1
∴ sin2θ  = `1/4 = (1/2)^2`

∴ sin2θ  = `(sin  pi/6)^2    ...[∵ sin  pi/(6) = (1)/(2)]`

∴ sin2θ  = sin2 `pi/(6)`

∴ the required general solution is θ = nπ ± `pi/(6)`, n ∈ Z.
