Trigonometric Equations

General Information on solving Trigonometric Equations

Solve each equation on the interval \( 0 \leq \theta < 2\pi\).

1.   (a) \(1 -\cos \theta = \frac{1}{2} \)      (b) \( 2\sin \theta + \sqrt 3 = 0 \)    solution

2.  \( 2 \cos \theta + \sqrt {2} = 0 \)    solution

3.   \( 4\cos^2 \theta - 3 = 0 \)   solution

4.   \( 2\sin^2 \theta - 1 = \sin \theta\)   solution

5.   \( 2\sin^2 \theta + 1 = 3\sin \theta\)    solution

6.   \( 2\cos^2 \theta + 3\sin \theta = 0\)    solution

7.   \( 2\cos^2 \theta + \cos \theta - 1 =0\)    solution
