Use a graphing utility to approximate the solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2 pi). 7 cos(x - 21 pi/2) -7 sin^2 x= 0 x = The equation of a standing wave is obtained by adding the displacements of two waves traveling in opposite directions (see figure). Assume that each of the waves has amplitude A, period T, and wavelength A. If the models for these waves are Y_1 = A cos 2 pi (t/T - x/lambda) and y_2 = A cos 2 pi (t/T + x/lambda) show that y_1 + y_2 = 2A cos 2pit/T cos 2 pi x/lambda

Explanation / Answer

Writing the first equation:

7cos(x-21/2*pi)-7(sinx)^2=0

=>cos(x-21/2*pi)-(sinx)^2=0

=>cos(x)cos(21*pi/2)+sin(x)*sin(21*pi/2)=(sin(x))^2

=>0+sin(x)*sin(21*pi/2)=(sin(x))^2

=>sin(x)=(sin(x))^2

Solution to the above equation is:

sin(x)=0, sin(x)=1

sin(x)=0, x=0,pi

sin(x)=1, x=3*pi/2

x=[0,3*pi/2,pi]
