solutions if the coefficient of the variable is greater than 1. As an example, we typically get 2 solutions for \(\cos \left( \theta \right)\) between 0 and \(2\pi \), so for \(\cos
\left( 3\theta \right)\), we’ll get 2 times 3, or 6 solutions. As another example, for \(\displaystyle \cos \left( \frac{\theta }{2} \right)\), we’ll only get one solution instead of the
normal two.
Let’s do some problems, finding the general solutions first, and then finding the solutions in the 0 to \(2\pi \) interval.
Note that when we multiply or divide to get the variable by itself, we have to do the same with the “\(+2\pi k\)” or “\(+\pi k\)”.
Again, watch for domain restrictions; answers that happen to fall on an asymptote for tan, cot, sec, or csc.
