1/(sin(2x))< 1/(sin(x)),0<= x<= pi

Solution

\frac{1}{sin ( 2 x )} < \frac{1}{sin ( x )}, 0 \leq x \leq π

Solution

0 < x < \frac{π}{3} or \frac{π}{2} < x < π

Interval Notation

(0, \frac{π}{3}) \cup (\frac{π}{2}, π)

Decimal

0 < x < 1.04719 \dots or 1.57079 \dots < x < 3.14159 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{1}{sin ( 2 x )} < \frac{1}{sin ( x )}, 0 \leq x \leq π

Move

\frac{1}{sin ( x )}

to the left side

\frac{1}{sin ( 2 x )} < \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

Subtract

\frac{1}{sin ( x )}

from both sides

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

\frac{1}{sin ( 2 x )} - \frac{1}{sin ( x )} < 0

\frac{1}{sin ( 2 x )} - \frac{1}{sin ( x )} < 0

Use the following identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 cos (x) sin (x)

\frac{1}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} - \frac{1}{sin ( x )} < 0

Simplify

\frac{1}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} - \frac{1}{sin ( x )} : \frac{1 - 2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}

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

Least Common Multiplier of

2 cos (x) sin (x), sin (x)

Lowest Common Multiplier (LCM)

Compute an expression comprised of factors that appear either in

2 cos (x) sin (x)

sin (x)

= 2 cos (x) sin (x)

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

2 cos (x) sin (x)

For

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2 cos (x)

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} = \frac{1 \cdot 2 cos ( x )}{sin ( x ) \cdot 2 cos ( x )} = \frac{2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

\frac{1 - 2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} < 0

Find the zeroes and undifined points of

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

for

0 \leq x < 2 π

To find the zeroes, set the inequality to zero

\frac{1 - 2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} = 0

\frac{1 - 2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} = 0, 0 \leq x < 2 π : x = \frac{π}{3}, x = \frac{5 π}{3}

\frac{1 - 2 cos ( x )}{2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )} = 0, 0 \leq x < 2 π

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

1 - 2 cos (x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 - 2 cos (x) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 2 cos (x) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

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

Simplify

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}
