w π = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, w π = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

w π = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, w π = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

w π = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : w = \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

w π = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

π

w π = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

π

\frac{w π}{π} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

Simplify

\frac{w π}{π} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

Simplify

\frac{w π}{π} : w

\frac{w π}{π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= w

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π} : \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π} = \frac{1}{2}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{π}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{2 π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= \frac{1}{2}

\frac{2 πn}{π} = 2 n

\frac{2 πn}{π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= 2 n

= \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{1}{2} + 2 n

Solve

w π = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : w = \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

w π = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

π

w π = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

π

\frac{w π}{π} = \frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

Simplify

\frac{w π}{π} = \frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

Simplify

\frac{w π}{π} : w

\frac{w π}{π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= w

Simplify

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π} : \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π} + \frac{2 πn}{π}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π} = \frac{3}{2}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{π}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{3 π}{2 π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= \frac{3}{2}

\frac{2 πn}{π} = 2 n

\frac{2 πn}{π}

Cancel the common factor:

π

= 2 n

= \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{3}{2} + 2 n

w = \frac{1}{2} + 2 n, w = \frac{3}{2} + 2 n
