solvefor x,2sin(x)=-1

solvefor

x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

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

Simplify

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

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

General solutions for

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

x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn
