Answer

a) $30^{\circ} + 360^{\circ}k$ and $150^{\circ} +360^{\circ}k$, for all integers $k$. b) $30^{\circ}, 150^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

b) Isolate $sin\theta$ $2sin\theta = 1$ $sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}$ 2. Recall angles from the unit circle $sin\theta$ is positive in quadrant I and II $30˚$ and $150˚$ is when $sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}$ Therefore, $sinθ = \frac{1}{2}$ $\theta = 30˚, 150˚$ a) Take the two angles and add $360^{\circ}k$, where $k$ is an integer, to find all degree solutions. $30^{\circ} + 360^{\circ}k$ and $150^{\circ} +360^{\circ}k$, for all integers $k$.
