Hey all, how does one solve sin(ax + by + c) = sin(ix + jy + d) for d and c if you only know the difference between d and c? Any help appreciated, simply arcsin'ing both sides does not work as you get impossible answers in the exact example I had.

Homework Statement Find cscθ given sec θ = -2 sin θ >0 Homework Equations I do not know where to begin or what equations to use. The Attempt at a Solution I am assuming there is a typo in the question and that there should be a comma sec θ = -2, sin θ >0. If so I got csc θ = 2√3 / 3

Say I have the integral of [ 1 / ( sqrt( 1 - x^2) ] * dx . Now I was told by many people in videos that I substitute x = sin theta, and this has me confused. Wouldn't I need to substitute x = cos theta instead? as x = cos theta on the unit circle instead of sin theta? Thanks in advance for...

I am reading Gelfand's Trigonometry. In one of the questions he asks: "We know from geometry that a circle may be drawn through the three vertices of any triangle. Find the radius of such a circle if the sides of the triangle are 6,8, and 10." My first question is, I know that if the diameter...

Hi all! I'm Ray and I'm new to this community, it's a pleasure! I'm trying to resolve a trigonometry exercise where I have to calculate the trigonometry Identities of a right triangle but in the specifications they don't show me any common data (hypotenuse or cathethus values), they just leave...

I am rather new to the whole idea of complex conjugates and especially operators. I was trying to understand the solution to a problem I was doing, but the math is confusing me rather than the physics. In the last row of calculations, why does the sin change to a cos, and the d/dx change to...

So I'm supposed to find the exact values of the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle by using a sum or difference formula ( i.e. sin(x+y)=sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) ), but this is the angle I was given: ${-13\pi}/{12}$. How do I use a sum or difference formula to get the sin, cos, and tan of that?

hello everyone! I want to know how to verify cos sin tan I always feel confused when i am doing the physics exercises. are we always use cos when it is x-axis and use sin when it is y-axis?? I feel so confused.

Hello all, I want to prove the following inequality. sin(x)<x for all x>0. Now I figured that I put a function f(x)=x-sin(x), and show that it is increasing for all x>0. But this alone doesn't prove it. I need to show we have inequality from the start. I can't show that lim f(x) as x->0 is...

Hi everyone. i think this is my last thread on PF:frown:! because i am too busy,anyway, 4 months ago i posted a thread named it finding cube roots without using calculator and now i want to know if there is a way or method to find sin and cos without using calculator. And thanks to all who...
