Hi there!

To find the Trigonometric Equation, we have to isolate sin, cos, tan, etc. We are also given the interval [0,2π).

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>r</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

What we have to do is to isolate cos first.

\displaystyle  \large{ cos \theta =  -  \frac{1}{2} }

Then find the reference angle. As we know cos(π/3) equals 1/2. Therefore π/3 is our reference angle.

Since we know that cos is negative in Q2 and Q3. We will be using π + (ref. angle) for Q3. and π - (ref. angle) for Q2.

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>2</u>

\displaystyle \large{ \pi -  \frac{ \pi}{3}  =  \frac{3 \pi}{3}  -  \frac{  \pi}{3} } \\  \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{2 \pi}{3} }

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

<u>\displaystyle \large{ \pi  +   \frac{ \pi}{3}  =  \frac{3 \pi}{3}   +   \frac{  \pi}{3} } \\  \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{4 \pi}{3} }</u>

Both values are apart of the interval. Hence,

\displaystyle \large \boxed{ \theta =  \frac{2 \pi}{3} , \frac{4 \pi}{3} }

<u>S</u><u>e</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>u</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>i</u><u>o</u><u>n</u>

Isolate sin(4 theta).

\displaystyle \large{sin 4 \theta =  -  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } }

Rationalize the denominator.

\displaystyle \large{sin4 \theta =  -  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} }

The problem here is 4 beside theta. What we are going to do is to expand the interval.

\displaystyle \large{0 \leqslant  \theta < 2 \pi}

Multiply whole by 4.

\displaystyle \large{0 \times 4 \leqslant  \theta \times 4 < 2 \pi \times 4} \\  \displaystyle \large \boxed{0 \leqslant 4 \theta < 8 \pi}

Then find the reference angle.

We know that sin(π/4) = √2/2. Hence π/4 is our reference angle.

sin is negative in Q3 and Q4. We use π + (ref. angle) for Q3 and 2π - (ref. angle for Q4.)

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

<u>\displaystyle \large{ \pi +  \frac{ \pi}{4}  =  \frac{ 4 \pi}{4}  +  \frac{ \pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large \boxed{  \frac{5 \pi}{4} }</u>

<u>F</u><u>i</u><u>n</u><u>d</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>4</u>

\displaystyle \large{2 \pi -  \frac{ \pi}{4}  =  \frac{8 \pi}{4}  -  \frac{ \pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large \boxed{ \frac{7 \pi}{4} }

Both values are in [0,2π). However, we exceed our interval to < 8π.

We will be using these following:-

\displaystyle \large{ \theta + 2 \pi k =  \theta \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf{(k  \:  \: is \:  \: integer)}}

Hence:-

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>3</u>

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4}  + 2 \pi =  \frac{13 \pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4}  + 4\pi =  \frac{21 \pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large{ \frac{5 \pi}{4}  + 6\pi =  \frac{29 \pi}{4} }

We cannot use any further k-values (or k cannot be 4 or higher) because it'd be +8π and not in the interval.

<u>F</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>Q</u><u>4</u>

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4}  + 2 \pi =  \frac{15 \pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4}  + 4 \pi =  \frac{23\pi}{4} } \\  \displaystyle \large{ \frac{ 7 \pi}{4}  + 6 \pi =  \frac{31 \pi}{4} }

Therefore:-

\displaystyle \large{4 \theta =  \frac{5 \pi}{4} , \frac{7 \pi}{4} , \frac{13\pi}{4} , \frac{21\pi}{4} , \frac{29\pi}{4}, \frac{15 \pi}{4} , \frac{23\pi}{4} , \frac{31\pi}{4}  }

Then we divide all these values by 4.

\displaystyle \large \boxed{\theta =  \frac{5 \pi}{16} , \frac{7 \pi}{16} , \frac{13\pi}{16} , \frac{21\pi}{16} , \frac{29\pi}{16}, \frac{15 \pi}{16} , \frac{23\pi}{16} , \frac{31\pi}{16}  }

Experiental probability is the correct choice because you will have actual data from an experiment that you are using to create the ratio of outcomes to attempts. This is the scientific and mathematical name for a tested ratio. Theoretical probability, on the other hand, is what you would expect to happen if you were to perform the test.
