Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π). SHOW YOU WORK PLEASE
2cot²x - 3cscx = 0
2 cos^2(x)/sin^2(x) - 3/ sinx = 0
combine fractions
[2 cos^2(x) - 3 sin(x)] / sin^2(x) = 0
Set numerator to zero
2 cos^2(x) - 3sinx = 0
substitute cos^2(x).
2(1-sin^2(x)) - 3 sinx = 0
2 - 2sin^2(x) -3sinx = 0
Factor like a quadratic equation.
(2sinx - 1) (sinx +2) = 0
So,
sinx= 1/2 x= pi/6 and 5pi/6
sinx= -2 no solution
So all solutions between 0 and 2pi are pi/6 and 5pi/6.
