解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
利用正弦图像的对称性:sin(180∘−α)=sinα,而 sin(180∘+α)=−sinα。
答题过程
展开
Since sinα=p,
2sin(180∘−α)==2sinα2p.
Also,
sin(α−180∘)=−p.
Finally,
3+sin(180∘+α)==3−sinα3−p.

思路
展开
y=sin2x 的周期是 180∘,振幅仍是 1。因此在同样的横向范围内,它比 y=sinx 完成更多次循环。
答题过程
展开
The graph of y=sin2x has the same amplitude as y=sinx, but its period is
180∘.
It passes through the x-axis at
x=0∘, 90∘, 180∘, 270∘,…
with the corresponding sine-wave shape.

思路
展开
令 u=2x,则 sinu=p=sinα。在 0<x<180∘ 中,0<u<360∘,所以 u=α 或 u=180∘−α。
答题过程
展开
Let
u=2x.
Since 0<x<180∘,
0<u<360∘.
The solutions of
sinu=p=sinα
in this interval are
u=αoru=180∘−α.
Therefore
2x=αor2x=180∘−α.
So
x=2αorx=90∘−2α.
