Question

Find the general solution of the following equation:

sin 2θ = `1/2`

Sum

Solution

The general solution of sin θ = sin α is
θ = nπ + (– 1)nα, n ∈ Z.

Now, 

sin 2θ = `1/2`

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

∴ the required general solution is given by

2θ = nπ + (- 1)n  `(pi/6)`, n ∈ Z.

i.e. θ = `(npi)/(2) + (- 1)^n  (pi/12)`,n ∈ Z.
