Trig functions, finding co-ordinates

TheRedDevil18

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I have a graph with the functions f(x)=sin2x and g(x)=cosx. The 2 graphs intersect at point B. They want me to find the co-ordinates of B.

2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

Must I equate the two graphs?

sin2x = cosx
2x = 90-x, 3x = 90, x=30 or 2x = 180-(90-x), x=90

It doesnt seem right, is their any other steps?

Aren't you given any specific range within which you want the solution, both the graphs intersect at many points.

TheRedDevil18

they say that f and g intersect at A(30:0.87) and B.
the domain is xE[0;270].
Thats all that is given.

Do you know a trig identity for sin(2x)?
