AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding when the function x(t) = 5/6*sin(10t - 0.927) equals 5/12. The initial solution is identified at specific points on the graph, referred to as the green points. To determine additional solutions, termed the red points, the arcsin function is utilized, which provides two solutions: one in the range (-π/2, +π/2] and another in the range (+π/2, +π]. The participants clarify the calculation process for these red points based on the properties of the sine function. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the arcsin function to find all relevant solutions.

When does the graph of x(t)=5/6*sin⁡(10t-0.927) equal 5/12

5/12=5/6*sin⁡(10t-0.927)

One answer, attached, is when the graph goes through the green points but I can't seem to figure out how to calculate the values of the red points.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The value of the function arcsin(y) is defined to be the solution of sin(x) = y that lies in the range (-π/2, +π/2]. There is a second solution π-arcsin(y) in the range (+π/2, +π]. This will form the basis of the 'red' points.
 


Oh, yep, duh.

Thank you very much for your help.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
