Answer:


\displaystyle{x = (\pi)/(12), (\pi)/(6)}

Explanation:

We are given the trigonometric equation of:


\displaystyle{\sin 4x = (√(3))/(2)}

Let u = 4x then:


\displaystyle{\sin u = (√(3))/(2)}\\\\\displaystyle{\arcsin (\sin u) = \arcsin \left((√(3))/(2)\right)}\\\\\displaystyle{u= \arcsin \left((√(3))/(2)\right)}

Find a measurement that makes sin(u) = √3/2 true within [0, π) which are u = 60° (π/3) and u = 120° (2π/3).


\displaystyle{u = (\pi)/(3), (2\pi)/(3)}

Convert u-term back to 4x:


\displaystyle{4x = (\pi)/(3), (2\pi)/(3)}

Divide both sides by 4:


\displaystyle{x = (\pi)/(12), (\pi)/(6)}

The interval is given to be 0 ≤ 4x < π therefore the new interval is 0 ≤ x < π/4 and these solutions are valid since they are still in the interval.

Therefore:


\displaystyle{x = (\pi)/(12), (\pi)/(6)}
