Many times when we are solving trigonometric equations, the solutions are not convenient values on the unit circle where we can find the exact answers. For example, when we solve 2 sin x = 1, we get x = sin⁻¹ and we know the exact solution between − and is . The other solution between 0 and 2π is . But what happens when we try to solve 5 sin x = 4? Homework Help ✎

1. Solve 5 sin x = 4 for x and calculate a decimal approximation.

2. Is this the only solution between 0 and 2π? Use what you know about the symmetry of the sine wave to determine the other solution between 0 and 2π to this trigonometric equation.

3. Using the same method, find all of the solutions for the domain (−∞, ∞).
