    Remember people, when you have two different trignometric relations on a equation just swap one of them with transformations

    9:23 The question was
    (I'll use 0 as a representative of theta)
    Solve the equation sin0 + cos0 = 0
    You rearranged the formula so you got sin0/cos0 = -1
    The completed the rearrangement by turning sin0/cos0 into tan0. So you ended up with
    tan0 = -1
    To get 0 on it's own you formed the formula 0 = tan-1 (-1)
    I get all of that. What I don't get is why you used the sin equation (180 - x) instead of the tan equation (180 + x) to get the values, seeing as Tan is the only one there, and not sin.
    Would the values not be:
    x = [45] and [225]

      I highly recommend watching my video on the unit circle: ruclips.net/video/4tQX198STxM/видео.html it seems like you are getting confused at the last step of finding values of theta, which involves interpreting the final trig equation (eg tanx=-1) and understanding in which quadrant those angles will be.

    the last one can be done by identifying it is a hidden cubic and can be solved using a polynomial solver or factor therom that way

    does the t formulae work for when there is like a sin squared or cos squared in the equation., or like translation of sin/cos?

    • @mathonify
      @mathonify  2 года назад

      You could try it. Generally the t formula is used when it will be more efficient than other methods. I don’t think it would be helpful in these examples as it is possible to see a clear method available but you could try and see if it gives faster solutions. Also, this video was made for A-level maths where we don’t use the t formula yet, so if you want harder problems I recommend looking at some further maths problems :)

    • @jovanyabushkara3858
      @jovanyabushkara3858 2 года назад

      yes ofc just write t=sinx or t=cosx ,and rewrite the equation with t
      like: sinx^2+sinx-2 "(t=sinx)" rewrite it as: t^2+t-2 then lets say the t is equal to -1,1/2: write sinx=-1 and sinx=1/2 then solve the trigonometry for both sinx
      but remember sinx and cosx must ="-1

    16:19 shouldn't it be "-2cos^2θ + 3cosθ - 1 = 0"?

    I have a question, answer would be very helpful. Why do we not have 6 answers in last exercise, isn't it that cosine has the same value for two different angles? Cos(20°) is the same as cos(340°) so why isn't 340° also one of the answers?

    • @mathonify
      @mathonify  Год назад

      The question gives an interval for theta between 0 and 180 degrees. If the interval was 0 to 360 then 340 degrees would be a valid solution.

    Why in the 2nd problem of level 2 equations didn't you simplify the term (1-cosA ) Because we can rewrite 2(1- (cosA)^2) as difference of squares and on right-hand-side we can get the same with 3(1-cosA) and then we will get only 1 solution. But how it is possible?

    • @mathonify
      @mathonify  Год назад

      This works fine. I suppose you are dividing both sides by 1-cosA? This is only possible if cosA =/= 1. Then you need to check if cosA=1 is a solution, which it is. So you will get the same answer :)

    I'm confused on the 4th question why were there 4 values I thought that with sin up to 360 would only have 2 values 57.69, 122.3

    • @mathonify
      @mathonify  Год назад +1

      Because sinx has a positive and negative value. If it was only positive you would be correct

      I do not manually place the ad breaks, I just turn them on. I don’t know why there are so many ads. If you suggest I should turn off all ads then I will consider it. I’m just not sure how I could continue with RUclips. But please let me know: no ads or just less ads? Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience.
