Just as with linear equations, I'll first isolate the variable-containing term:
sin(x) + 2 = 3
sin(x) = 1
Now I'll use the reference angles I've memorized to get my final answer.
Note: The instructions gave me the interval in terms of degrees, which means that I'm supposed
to give my answer in degrees. Yes, the sine, on the first period, takes on the value of 1 at \small{
\frac{\pi}{2} }
radians, but that's not the angle-measure type they're wanting, and using this as my answer
would probably result in my at least losing a few points on this question.
x = 90°
