Question
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$$y_{1}=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x \quad \text { and } \quad y_{2}=\frac{\pi}{6} \quad \text { is } \quad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=0.8660254$$.
Step 1
Make sure the calculator is in radian mode. Then, input the two functions into the calculator. The first function is $y_{1}=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x$ and the second function is $y_{2}=\frac{\pi}{6}$. Show more…

Provide graphical support for the solution in Example 4 by showing that the $x$ -coordinate of the point of intersection of the graphs of $\mathbf{Y}_{1}=\arcsin \mathbf{X}-\arccos \mathbf{X}$ and $Y_{2}=\frac{\pi}{6}$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx .8660254$
Trigonometric ldentities and Equations
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. $$4 \sin ^{2} x=2 \cos x+1$$
