Transcript text: Find all real solutions to the equation $-10 \sin x=5 \sqrt{3}$ between $\left[0^{\circ}, 360^{\circ}\right)$.
A. $150^{\circ}, 210^{\circ}$
B. $240^{\circ}, 300^{\circ}$
C. $60^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}$
D. $-60^{\circ},-120^{\circ}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Simplify the Equation
The given equation is
\[
-10 \sin x = 5 \sqrt{3}
\]
First, divide both sides by \(-10\) to isolate \(\sin x\):
\[
\sin x = -\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{10} = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
\]
Step 2: Determine the Reference Angle
The reference angle for \(\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) is \(60^\circ\). Since \(\sin x\) is negative, we need to find angles in the third and fourth quadrants.
Step 3: Find the Angles in the Specified Interval
In the third quadrant, the angle is:
\[
180^\circ + 60^\circ = 240^\circ
\]
In the fourth quadrant, the angle is:
\[
360^\circ - 60^\circ = 300^\circ
\]
Final Answer
The solutions to the equation \(-10 \sin x = 5 \sqrt{3}\) in the interval \([0^\circ, 360^\circ)\) are:
