Math Problem Statement

Given sin x =5/2 find the exact value of sin 2x

Solution

Given that sinx=52\sin x = \frac{5}{2}, this value is not valid because the sine function's range is limited to 1sinx1-1 \leq \sin x \leq 1. Since 52=2.5\frac{5}{2} = 2.5 is outside this range, it is impossible for sinx\sin x to equal 52\frac{5}{2}.

Could you double-check the value you provided for sinx\sin x? It might be a typo or mistake. Feel free to provide the correct value, and I can help you find sin2x\sin 2x.

Would you like to proceed with another question or clarification? Here are five questions that can extend this topic:

  1. How do we find the double-angle identity for sine?
  2. What happens if sinx\sin x is larger than 1?
  3. How do you calculate sin2x\sin 2x using trigonometric identities?
  4. What are the implications if sinx=52\sin x = \frac{5}{2} in a theoretical context?
  5. Can the sine function have any other range in a different mathematical system?

Tip: The double-angle identity for sine is sin2x=2sinxcosx\sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x.
