Final answer Answer:
The solutions are found by solving sin 2θ = √3/2. Initial solutions are 30°, 90°, and 120°, and considering the periodic nature of sine, valid solutions within 0° to 360° are 30°, 90°, and 120°. sin 2θ = √3/2 θ = 30°, 90°, 120°.
Explanation:
The equation sin 2θ = √3/2 can be solved by first finding the solutions for 2θ and then dividing by 2 to obtain the solutions for θ.
Let's solve for 2θ:
![\[sin 2θ = √(3)/2\]](https://img.qammunity.org/2024/formulas/mathematics/high-school/hg6y7s67d9izyqv0v1ra2309vmcgdvl0pq.png)
The reference angle for sin 60° is 60°. Therefore, 2θ = 60°, 180° - 60°, and 180° + 60° are the initial solutions.
1. \(2θ = 60° \implies θ = 30°\)
2. \(2θ = 180° - 60° \implies θ = 60°/2 \implies θ = 90°\)
3. \(2θ = 180° + 60° \implies θ = 240°/2 \implies θ = 120°\)
Now, we consider the periodic nature of sine, which repeats every 360°. Add 360° to the initial solutions to find additional solutions.



However, these solutions are beyond the given range of 0° to 360°. Therefore, the valid solutions for
