    Trigonometric solution domains

    SL 3.8

    The domain of a trigonometric equation determines the range of possible solutions. The most common domain is 0≤θ<2π (0°≤θ<360°) but in general domains can be arbitrary.


    Other times, the arguments of the trigonometric equation might not simply be θ, but aθ+b. For example:

    sin(2θ−2π​)=1,0≤θ<2π

    If we let x=2θ−2π​, then the equation becomes

    sin(x)=1,−2π​≤x<25π​

    The new bounds are found by

    2⋅0−2π​≤x<2⋅2π−2π​


    The solutions of sinx=1 are, in general, x=2π​+2kπ.


    Listing out the first few solutions (for positive and negative k∈Z), we find the valid solutions:

    −25π​,−2π​,23π​,27π​
