USING DOUBLE ANGLE IDENTITIES TO SOLVE EQUATIONS
Ex: Solve the following equation for ≤ θ  360°
Note: You are “Solving for θ”,not proving an identity!!
Use the Double-Angle Identity
Factor the equation
Solve for θ from each equation.
Remember to use CAST and there
are TWO cycles between 0 and 360°
Add the period (180°) to find other solutions

PRACTICE: SOLVE FOR 0 ≤ Θ  360°
Use the Double-Angle Identity
Factor: Difference of Square
Solve for θ from each equation.
Remember to use CAST
Note: There is only ONE cycle
Between 0 and 360°
