Unit 4: Trigonometric Functions Lesson 3: Solving Linear Trigonometric Equations Linear Equations If an equation is linear, then the variable is raised to an exponent of one To solve a linear equation, isolate the variable by rearranging the equation get the variable on one side and numbers on the other. Example: 2x + 1 = 0 2x = -1 x = -1/2 Linear Trigonometric Equations A linear trigonometric equation involves one of the six trigonometric ratios raised to an exponent of one Example: 2sin x – 1 = 0 The goal here is to isolate the ratio, not x After the ratio h
