Question
Use a graphing calculator in each of the following.Provide graphical support for the solution in Example 4 by showing that the graph of$y=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x-\frac{\pi}{6} \quad$ has a zero of $\quad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=0.8660254$.
Step 1
The equation is $y=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x-\frac{\pi}{6}$. Make sure your calculator is in radian mode. Show more…

Use a graphing calculator in each of the following. Provide graphical support for the solution in Example 4 by showing that the $x$ -coordinate of the point of intersection of the graphs of $$y_{1}=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x \quad \text { and } \quad y_{2}=\frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text { is } \quad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=0.8660254$$.
Trigonometric Identities and Equations
Equations Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Use a graphing utility to approximate the solutions of the equation in the interval $[\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{2} \pi)$ by collecting all terms on one side, graphing the new equation, and using the zero or root feature to approximate the $x$ -intercepts of the graph. $$\frac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}+\frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}=4$$
Analytic Trigonometry
Solving Trigonometric Equations
Use a graphing utility to approximate the solutions (to three decimal places) of the equation in the interval $[0,2 \pi)$. $$4 \sin ^{3} x+2 \sin ^{2} x-2 \sin x-1=0$$
