Solve: 4sin\(^2\)θ + 1 = 2, where 0º < θ < 180º

  • A. 60° 0r 120°
  • B. 30° 0r 150°
  • C. 30° 0r 120°
  • D. 60° 0r 150°

Correct Answer: B. 30° 0r 150°

Explanation

4sin\(^2\)θ + 1 = 2

4sin\(^2\)θ = 2 - 1

4sin\(^2\)θ = 1

\(\sqrt sin^2θ\) = \(\sqrt \frac{1}{4}\)

sinθ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

θ = \(sin^{-1} \frac{1}{2}\)

θ = 30º 0r 150º
