# Math Help - [Urgent] Solving Trig Equations

1. ## [Urgent] Solving Trig Equations

Solve each equation for $0 \leq \theta \leq 360$

$3sinx = 2cos^{2}x$

30 and 150 degrees

Nevermind, solved it

You ate a 2, it should be $3\sin x=2-2\sin^2x.$

What? I don't get what you mean by "you ate a 2"?

4. You forgot a 2.

Now, can you solve the remaining problem?

5. Can you solve $2z^2 + 3z - 1 = 0$?
Then let $\sin (x) = z$.

You can't solve for that equation...but I can't say there aren't any solutions because there are and I don't know what I'm doing wrong

I still don't know what you're saying? I didn't forget any 2

Sorry to learn that. Have you considered that you may not be ready to do this problem?
If I were you, I would ask myself why I am being asked to do this level of problem?
Do you have the necessary mathematical background to tackle a problem at this level?
