Does the equation sin2(x) – 4 = 0 have any solutions? Explain.

Answer:

No, the equation has no solutions. Isolating the sine gives sin(x) = ±2. Because the range of sine is [-1, 1], values ±2 are impossible (they are also outside the domain of arcsin). Hence there are no real solutions.

Which statements did you include in your answer?

A
Isolate sin(x) by adding 4 and taking the square root of both sides.
B
State that sin(x) = 2 or sin(x) = –2.
C
State that –2 and 2 are undefined values of the inverse sine function.
D
There are no solutions because –2 and 2 are not in the domain of the function.
