Q. Find all angles, 0∘≤θ<360∘, that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.sin2θ−8sinθ+12=0Answer: θ=
Rewrite as Quadratic: Recognize that the given equation is a quadratic in terms of sin(θ). We can rewrite the equation as:(sin(θ))2−8sin(θ)+12=0Let's set sin(θ)=x for easier manipulation, so we have:x2−8x+12=0
Solve for x: Solve for x from the factored form.x−6=0 or x−2=0x=6 or x=2However, since the sine function has a range of [−1,1], x=6 is not a valid solution for sin(θ). Therefore, we only consider x=2, but again, since the sine function cannot be greater than 1, there are no solutions for this equation.
