-1/2 <sin(x)< 1/2

Solution

- \frac{1}{2} < sin (x) < \frac{1}{2}

Solution

2 πn \leq x < \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn or \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn or \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < 2 π + 2 πn

Interval Notation

[2 πn, \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn) \cup (\frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn) \cup (\frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn, 2 π + 2 πn)

Decimal

2 πn \leq x < 0.52359 \dots + 2 πn or 2.61799 \dots + 2 πn < x < 3.66519 \dots + 2 πn or 5.75958 \dots + 2 πn < x < 6.28318 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

- \frac{1}{2} < sin (x) < \frac{1}{2}

a < u < b

then

a < u and u < b

- \frac{1}{2} < sin (x) and sin (x) < \frac{1}{2}

- \frac{1}{2} < sin (x) : - \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

- \frac{1}{2} < sin (x)

Switch sides

sin (x) > - \frac{1}{2}

For

sin (x) > a

, if

- 1 \leq a < 1

then

arcsin (a) + 2 πn < x < π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) + 2 πn < x < π - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) + 2 πn

Simplify

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) : - \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

Use the following property:

arcsin (- x) = - arcsin (x)

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

= - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

x 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arcsin (x) 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} arcsin (x) 0^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{6}

= - \frac{π}{6}

Simplify

π - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) : \frac{7 π}{6}

π - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

Use the following property:

arcsin (- x) = - arcsin (x)

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

= - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

x 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arcsin (x) 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} arcsin (x) 0^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{6}

= - \frac{π}{6}

= π - (- \frac{π}{6})

Simplify

π - (- \frac{π}{6})

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= π + \frac{π}{6}

Convert element to fraction:

π = \frac{π 6}{6}

= \frac{π 6}{6} + \frac{π}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 6 + π}{6}

Add similar elements:

6 π + π = 7 π

= \frac{7 π}{6}

= \frac{7 π}{6}

- \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

sin (x) < \frac{1}{2} : - \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

sin (x) < \frac{1}{2}

For

sin (x) < a

, if

- 1 < a \leq 1

then

- π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn < x < arcsin (a) + 2 πn

- π - arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) + 2 πn < x < arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) + 2 πn

Simplify

- π - arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) : - \frac{7 π}{6}

- π - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{π}{6}

x 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arcsin (x) 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} arcsin (x) 0^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ}

= - π - \frac{π}{6}

Simplify

- π - \frac{π}{6}

Convert element to fraction:

π = \frac{π 6}{6}

= - \frac{π 6}{6} - \frac{π}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- π 6 - π}{6}

Add similar elements:

- 6 π - π = - 7 π

= \frac{- 7 π}{6}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{7 π}{6}

= - \frac{7 π}{6}

Simplify

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) : \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{6}

- \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Combine the intervals

- \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn and - \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Merge Overlapping Intervals

2 πn \leq x < \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn or \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn or \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < 2 π + 2 πn
