Solution Steps

Step 1: Isolate the Trigonometric Function

The given equation is:

\[ 5\sqrt{3}\sin x + 5 = 0 \]

First, isolate the sine function by subtracting 5 from both sides:

\[ 5\sqrt{3}\sin x = -5 \]

Step 2: Solve for \(\sin x\)

Divide both sides by \(5\sqrt{3}\) to solve for \(\sin x\):

\[ \sin x = \frac{-5}{5\sqrt{3}} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \]

Rationalize the denominator:

\[ \sin x = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \]

Step 3: Find the General Solution

The sine function is negative in the third and fourth quadrants. The reference angle \(\theta\) for \(\sin \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{6}\).

Thus, the solutions in the interval \([0, 2\pi)\) are:

  • Third quadrant: \(x = \pi + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{7\pi}{6}\)
  • Fourth quadrant: \(x = 2\pi - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{11\pi}{6}\)

Final Answer

The solutions to the equation \(5\sqrt{3}\sin x + 5 = 0\) in the interval \([0, 2\pi)\) are:

\[ \boxed{x = \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}} \]
