Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function f(x) = 2sinx at the point where x = pi/3.

1 answer:

3 0

The equation of the tangent line of f(x) is given by y = f'(x)x + c
f(x) = 2sin x
f'(x) = 2cos x

At x = pi/3
f'(pi/3) = 2 cos(pi/3) = 1
f(pi/3) = 2 sin(pi/3) = √3
√3 = 1(π/3) + c
c = √3 - π/3

Therefore, required equation is
y = x + √3 - π/3

How do I solve: 2 sin (2x) - 2 sin x + 2√3 cos x - √3 = 0

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} +k\, \pi$ or $\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ , where $k$ is an integer.

There are three such angles between $0$ and $2\pi$ : $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{3}$ , $\displaystyle \frac{2\, \pi}{3}$ , and $\displaystyle \frac{4\,\pi}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the double angle identity of sines:

$\sin(2\, x) = 2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x$ .

Rewrite the original equation with this identity:

$2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x) - 2\, \sin x + 2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x - \sqrt{3} = 0$ .

Note, that $2\, (2\, \sin x \cdot \cos x)$ and $(-2\, \sin x)$ share the common factor $(2\, \sin x)$ . On the other hand, $2\sqrt{3}\, \cos x$ and $(-\sqrt{3})$ share the common factor $\sqrt[3}$ . Combine these terms pairwise using the two common factors:

$(2\, \sin x) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) + \left(\sqrt{3}\right)\, (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

Note the new common factor $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ . Therefore:

$\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right) \cdot (2\, \cos x - 1) = 0$ .

This equation holds as long as either $\left(2\, \sin x + \sqrt{3}\right)$ or $(2\, \cos x - 1)$ is zero. Let $k$ be an integer. Accordingly:

$\displaystyle \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\, \pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ .
$\displaystyle \cos x = \frac{1}{2}$ , which corresponds to $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = -\frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ .

Any $x$ that fits into at least one of these patterns will satisfy the equation. These pattern can be further combined:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + k \, \pi$ (from $\displaystyle x = -\frac{2\,\pi}{3} + 2\, k\, \pi$ and $\displaystyle x = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2\, k \, \pi$ , combined,) as well as
$\displaystyle x =- \frac{\pi}{3} +2\,k\, \pi$ .

Answer:

A. No real solution

B. 5 and -1.5

C. 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is:

$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}} \end{array}$ , with a being the x² term, b being the x term, and c being the constant.
