Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving trig equations are just like solving "regular" equations. Let's get to it. First and foremost we are going to make a "u" substitution. You'll use that all the time in calculus, if you choose to go that route. Let

sin^2 \theta=u^2 and sinθ = u. Making the substitution, the equation becomes:

2u^2-u-1=0

That looks like something that can be factored, right? If you throw it into the quadratic formula you get the factors:

(u - 1)(2u + 1) = 0

By the Zero Product Property, either u - 1 = 0 or 2u + 1 = 0, so we will solve those, but not until after we back-substitute!

Putting sinθ back in for u:

sinθ - 1 = 0 so

sinθ = 1 and in the other equation:

2sinθ + 1 = 0 so

2sinθ = -1 and

sin\theta=-\frac{1}{2}

Get out the unit circle and look to where the sinθ has a value of 1. There's only one place in your interval, and it's at 90 degrees.

Now look to where the sinθ has a value of -1/2. There are 2 places within your interval, and those are at 210° and 330°. Now you're done!

What is the measure of IL?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

L-6 test results measure the amount of IL-6 circulating in the blood, and are used as one sign of systemic inflammation. A normal level of IL-6 may represent people who do not have an infection or inflammation. A low level of IL-6 may be expected for most patients with a less severe inflammatory response.
