    I always use these formulas:
    Cos(a)=cos(b)
    => a=2npi+-b.
    Sin(a)=sin(b)
    => a=npi+b(-1)^n
    Tan(a)=tan(b)
    => a=npi + b
    Really useful and a life changer for me.

    The usage of +2πn and n E Z allows the cancellation of the sin function by maintaining a representation of all valid solutions which would otherwise be lost when trying to take the inverse of a function that is not one to one.

      I tought you could not apply inverse functions if the function is not injective.

    • @christianpalumbo8278
      @christianpalumbo8278 3 роки тому +7

      @@MrRogordo First of all, you actually need a function to be bijective (together injective and subjective) to be sure it is invertible. But if a function isn't bijective in its whole domain, it doesn't mean you can't invert it, you just can't do it in the domain. If you reduce the domain to the interval [-π/2, π/2] and the codomain to [-1, 1] then you can invert y = sin(x). We say that this function is invertible within that interval. So if you apply the arcsin function you just find solutions in a restricted interval (indeed, [-π/2, π/2]) and what you have to do to include the other infinite solutions is to eventually just add the period.

    sina=sinb implies that:
    a = b + 2kpi or a = pi - b + 2kpi. (sine function is symmetric with respect to y-axis, which has polar equation of theta=pi/2, so a=b or a=2theta -b.... with a period of 2pi)
    cosa = cosb implies that:
    a = b + 2kpi. or a = -b + 2kpi. (Cosine function is symmetric with respect to x-axis which has the equation theta =0...that is why we get + or - theta)
    tana= tanb implies that a = b + kpi. (tangent function is symmetric wrt to origin O)
    no need to use double angle formula.... no need for sketches also.. but the sketches help see it, rather than memorizing techniques if solving.
    Example:
    sin2x = sinx,
    2x=x+2kpi. or 2x=pi-x+2kpi
    x=2kpi. or x=pi/3 +2kpi/3

    BPRP! I have an easy solution for this.
    When two sines are equal, it means either that their arguments are equal or that they add up to π.
    1) sin(2x) = sin(x)
    So 2x = x + 2πn, which means x = 2πn
    or 2x = π - x + 2πn, which means x = π/3 + 2πn/3 = π(2n + 1)/3.
    2) sin(πx) = sin(x)
    So πx = x + 2πn, which leads to x = 2πn/(π - 1)
    or πx = π - x + 2πn, which leads to x = π/(π + 1) + 2πn/(π + 1) = π(2n + 1)/(π + 1).

    Why can you "cancel" the "sin" after adding 2·n·π on the "inside" and account for the "sign" of the "inside" if the function is not injective? To explain what is going on, first I want to use a simpler, far more familiar example, and build up the explanation from there by analogy.
    Consider the function f : R -> R+, t |-> t^2. This function is not injective, so it cannot be inverted, and this is because f(t) = f(-t). Therefore, if I want to solve the equation f(x) = y for x, I cannot simply apply an inverse function f^(-1) and get x = [f^(-1)](y) to solve the equation. So what can we do? Notice that, in this particular instance, if we restrict the domain of the function to R+ or to R-, then in either case, the restricted function is injective, and does have an inverse. If we restrict it to R+, then its inverse is given by t |-> sqrt(t), while if we restrict to R-, then its inverse is given by t |-> -sqrt(t). Furthermore, R- and R+ partition the actual domain R, except for the double counted 0 shared by both sets. This matters, because when we say the solutions to the equation are x = sqrt(y) and x = -sqrt(y), the fact that both "inverse" functions evaluated at y are the only solutions is guaranteed by the fact that their domains partition the domain of the domain of the original function they "inverted." So with this in mind, you know have an actual method of solution: if x is an element of R+, then x^2 = y ==> x = sqrt(y), while if x is an element of R-, then x^2 = y ==> x = -sqrt(y). So the solutions are sqrt(y) and -sqrt(y): to shorten things, we tend to abbreviate this with a "plus-minus" symbol in front, which is how most people would typically write the final draft. However, there is a different way of encoding both solutions into a single expression: by indexing the cases with an expression that depends on the index. In this case, you can do this by noticing that x = (-1)^n·sqrt(y), allowing n to be any integer, which encodes both cases, by realizing that the first solution is given by an even parity on the index, and the second solution is given by an odd parity on the index. You could take this a step further, and just say that [(-1)^n·x]^2 = x^2, so you can replace x^2 = y with [(-1)^n·x]^2 = y. If I "cancel" the squares now, I get (-1)^n·x = sqrt(y), which implies x = (-1)^n·sqrt(y), getting back to where we should be. The "cancellation" works, because the expression (-1)^n encodes all the possible cases at once with the index, so that for any given n, there is a restriction to x that makes the "left-hand side" injective.
    What BPRP did in this video is literally the same thing, except he used the function x |-> sin(x) instead of x |-> x^2, and he partitioned the domain into subdomains [m·π - π/2, m·π + π/2] instead of partitioning into R+ and R-. Why? Because the equation uses the sine function, and the function is injective when its domain is restricted into those intervals, provided that m is an arbitrary integer. More importantly, for each m, you get a unique interval of restricted injectivity, so that you can ensure this partitioning gives you every solution, and no extraneous solution. So you can write the equation sin(π·x) = sin(x - m·π). This may not initially look at all like what BPRP has done here, but the distinction merely boils down to reindexing or renaming quantities. How? If m is even, then m = -2·n, so sin(π·x) = sin(x + 2·n·π). Here, if I "cancel" the "sin," I get π·x = x + 2·n·π. This works because, for each distinct value of n, I get a distinct restriction on x that guarantees restricted injectivity, allowing the "cancellation" for that particular value of m. But this only gives us exactly half of the solutions, and the other half occurs when m is odd. You can get odd values of m by realizing that sin(t) = sin(π - t), so that sin(x + 2·n·π) = sin(-x + [-2·n + 1]·π) = sin(π·x), and again, "cancelling the sin" here works for the same reasons already explained. This gives the solutions x = [-2·n + 1]·π/(π + 1), which is not quite was had in the video, but you can just rename -n into n to get that, and you can do this because n is an arbitrary integer, and n |-> -n is bijective. This is exactly the idea behind what BPRP did, although maybe it could have been simpler to execute its explanation differently, and it may have been less confusing for some in that case. For example, I think it may have been productive to actually approach this by using the arcsin[sin(x)] approach instead, and breaking it into cases, and explaining the cases in indexed form, so that the viewers can have understanding why the symbolic manipulations work in the first place.
    Why do we do this, if it is so contrived in the end? We do it because you cannot explicitly write out infinitely many cases without indexing and without these symbolic techniques, since, well, you know, it would take an infinite amount of time to do so, an amount of time we certainly do not have available. It is just useful to be able to do this.
    This concept can be generalized to any noninjective function f : X -> Y. If you want to solve f(x) = y, with x an element of X and y and element of Y, then you cannot invert f, but you can do restricted inversion, whereby you partition X (with maybe some double counting at a single point per pair of sets) into sets X(i), where i is an index, such that when the domain f is restricted to each one of those sets, the restricted f is injective. You can thus define a restricted inverse g(i) : Y -> X(i) for each i, so that x = [g(i)](y) encodes every solution to the equation, and each value of i gives you a true solution (not extraneous). The index family to which i belongs to can also always be chosen so that the value of [g(i)](y) is unique to i. How you go about doing the symbolic manipulation, however, depends very much on the properties of f. Of course, if f is injective, the same procedure works trivially: you partition X into a single set: the set X, and you define a single inverse g : Y -> X that works on all of the domain of X, so that x = g(y) is the sole solution to the equation. So this solving process is actually a special case of the general, noninjective case. In a reply to my own comment, I will explain how to choose a g(i) for the case when f(x) = sin(π·x), detailing the alternative approach BPRP could have taken that I mentioned earlier.

So x + 2·n·π is an element of [2·n·π - π/2, 2·n·π + π/2], arcsin[sin(x + 2·n·π)] = x ==> (-1)^(2·n)·arcsin[sin(x + 2·n·π)] + 2·n·π = x + 2·n·π, -arcsin(sin[x + (2·n + 1)·π] = x ==> (-1)^(2·n + 1)·arcsin(sin[x + (2·n + 1)·π]) + (2·n + 1)·π = x + (2·n + 1)·π.
      Therefore, if x is an element of [m·π - π/2, m·π + π/2] & m is an integer, then m·π + (-1)^m·arcsin[sin(x)] = x. Since x |-> sin(x) : [m·π - π/2, m·π + π/2] -> [-1, +1] is bijective for every m, it has an inverse x |-> m·π + (-1)^m·arcsin(x) : [-1, +1] -> [m·π - π/2, m·π + π/2].
      Therefore, if x is an element of [m - 1/2, m + 1/2] & m is an integer, then m·π + (-1)^m·arcsin[sin(π·x)] = π·x. Since x |-> sin(π·x) : [m - 1/2, m + 1/2] -> [-1, +1] is bijective for every m, it has an inverse x |-> m + (-1)^m·arcsin(x)/π : [-1, +1] -> [m - 1/2, m + 1/2].
      Given sin(π·x) = sin(x), you can conclude that m·π + (-1)^m·arcsin[sin(π·x)] = π·x & n·π + (-1)^n·arcsin[sin(x)] = x for integers m & n imply arcsin[sin(π·x)] = (-1)^m·π·(x - m) & arcsin[sin(x)] = (-1)^n·(x - n·π), hence (-1)^m·(π·x - π·m) = (-1)^n·(x - n·π), equivalent to (-1)^m·π·x - (-1)^m·m·π = (-1)^n·x - (-1)^n·n·π. Thus [(-1)^m·π - (-1)^n]·x = [(-1)^m·m - (-1)^n·n]·π, and finally, x = [(-1)^m·m - (-1)^n·n]·π/[(-1)^m·π - (-1)^n]. Let m = 2·μ and n = 0, 1, and this recovers the solutions in the video.

      @@luisaguilera3242 If you want to solve the equation x^2 = y^2 for x, then you want to take the square root, and you get sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(y^2), which is equivalent to |x| = |y|. This equation has two solutions in R, because x |-> |x|: R -> R+ is an even function, so it is not injective. How would you deal with this equation? You would realize that R+ and R- partition the set R into two "opposite" sets, with 0 being double counted, and when the domain is restricted into either of the sets, the restricted function does become injective in both intervals. So you break the equation-solving process into two cases: x >= 0, and x =< 0. If x >= 0, then |x| = x, so x = |y|, and the equation has already been solved. If x =< 0, then |x| = -x, so -x = |y|, thus x = -|y|, and the equation has been solved. Since there are no other cases to analyze, you are done, and the equation has two solutions, x = |y| or x = -|y|. Here, you can also rewrite this as x = y or x = -y, since it you get both solutions regardless of whether y =< 0 or y >= 0.
      However, there is one way to concisely express both solutions in one expression: this is encoded by realizing that |x| = |-x|, so you can write |(-1)^n·x| in place of |x|, allowing yourself to substitute integer values of n. Then you get |(-1)^n·x| = |y|, and if you "cancel" (not the correct terminology, but this is what you and others refer to it as, so we will go along with it) the absolute values, you get (-1)^n·x = y, which implies x = (-1)^n·y. This gives you both solutions in a single expression, but why does this work? Because the breakdown of cases into separate equations is encoded in the indexed expression (-1)^n. By substituting different parities of n, you get every case allowed. When solving sin(π·x) = sin(x), the same concept applies. x |-> sin(x) : R -> [-1, +1] is not injective. However, if you restrict the domain to an interval [m·π - π/2, m·π + π/2], where m is an arbitrary integer, then the restricted function is injective for each m in a mutually exclusive fashion, except for endpoints, which are double counted. Furthermore, the function has period 2·π, and for odd m in the above intervals, the function has the opposite growth as with even m, so you can consider sin(π·x) = sin(x - m·π) for even m and sin(π·x) = sin(x - m·π) for odd m separately. If m is even, then m = -2·n, so sin(π·x) = sin(x + 2·n·π), and if m is odd, then m = -2·n - 1, so sin(π·x) = sin(x + 2·n·π + π), but sin(t + π) = sin(-t) for any t, so sin(π·x) = sin[-(x + 2·n·π)]. Thus the two cases are sin(π·x) = sin(x + 2·n·π) or sin(π·x) = sin[-(x + 2·n·π)], with n being an arbitrary integer, and this is precisely what the video did. Each value of n will give a unique interval, in such a way that both cases combined partition the set R into intervals in which, when you restrict the function's domain to those intervals, the function becomes injective, and n is indexing those intervals. This why the function becomes "cancellable" once you do break the equation into those two cases: by doing so, the function becomes "injective for each value of n" in both cases.

    It we put this equation as :
    ( e^(iOpi) - e^(-iOpi) )/2i = sin (O), where O is theta ; then we simplify as
    ( (e^(i*pi))^O - (e^(-i*pi))^O)/2i = sin O
    ( (-1)^O - (-1)^O )/2i = sin O
    So we get
    Sin O = 0
    So O = n*pi, n being an integer.

    I only wanted to get one of the solutions and i got pi/(pi+1), but it might still be possible to get the other solutions?
    the method is:
    e^(i pi x) - e^(-i pi x) = e ^(ix) - e ^-(ix)
    (e^ix)^pi - (e^ix)^-pi - e^ix + (e^ix)^-1 = 0
    substitute y = e^ix
    y^pi - y + (1/y - 1/y^pi) = 0
    y^pi - y + (y^pi-y)/y^(pi+1) = 0
    y^(pi+1) (y^pi - y) + (y^pi - y) = 0
    (y^(pi +1) + 1)(y^pi - y)=0
    y^(pi+1) +1 = 0 or y^pi -y = 0
    y*(pi+1) = -1 or y^(pi-1) = 1
    ln(-1) on wolframalpha give i pi which is the result that lead to x= pi/(pi+1), and the other one with ln(1) leads to x = 0.
    I think if i did the whole thing taking into account the multiple solutions with the 2pi n stuff it would have lead to the general solutions maybe? I'm iffy about if i should have been allowed to do the ln(-1) = i *pi thing.

    I just use 2π periodicity property of the sin(X) function:
    sin(πθ)☰sin(θ+2nπ) gives BPRP's first solution
    then consider sin(X) is an odd function, i.e. sin(X)☰-sin(-X)☰sin(π-X)
    sin(πθ)☰sin(π-θ+2nπ) gives second BPRP solution.
    No need for them pesky CAST circles.

    I didn’t understand the part with adding 2n(pi) does anyone have any videos that explain it more in depth? ty

      The sine function has a period of 2·π, hence if x = a solves sin(x) = a, then necessarily, a + 2·n·π solves it too; otherwise, it would contradict the periodicity.

      The equations themselves are not important. The critical thinking involved in solving them is what matters here.

    Pretty easy with sin(180-x)=sin(x) but it was fun!

    I mean cant you say sin(πθ) = sin(θ) => πθ = 2πn + θ, πθ = 2πn +π - θ
