Recommended for Class 12
Full school-level explanation
Find a reference angle and use quadrants where sine has the required sign.
CONCEPT AND RULE
Find a reference angle and use quadrants where sine has the required sign.
METHOD
For solving sin x=a, identify the given information and required result. Select the matching definition or formula, state its conditions, substitute carefully, simplify one line at a time, and check.
WORKED EXAMPLE
sin x=12 gives x=pi/6+2npi or 5pi/6+2npi.
COMMON MISTAKE
Write the governing rule before substitution, keep brackets and signs visible, and check that the answer satisfies all domain or interval conditions.
