How many values of in the interval satisfy
Solution 1
First, move terms to get . After graphing, we find that there are solutions (two in each period of ). -dstanz5
Solution 2
We can graph two functions in this case: and . Using transformation of functions, we know that is just a cos function with amplitude 5 and period . Similarly, is just a sin function with amplitude 3 and shifted 1 unit downwards. So: We have solutions. ~Jamess2022 (burntTacos)
