Inequalities are relations of the form a › b, where a and b are expressions containing at least one variable. Inequalities can be strict - ‹, › and non-strict - ≥, ≤.

Trigonometric inequalities are expressions of the form: F(x) › a, F(x) ‹ a, F(x) ≤ a, F(x) ≥ a, in which F(x) is represented by one or more trigonometric functions.

An example of the simplest trigonometric inequality is: sin x ‹ 1/2. It is customary to solve such problems graphically; two methods have been developed for this.

Method 1 - Solving inequalities by graphing a function

To find an interval that satisfies the conditions inequality sin x ‹ 1/2, you must perform the following steps:

  1. On coordinate axis construct a sinusoid y = sin x.
  2. On the same axis, draw a graph of the numerical argument of the inequality, i.e., a straight line passing through the point ½ of the ordinate OY.
  3. Mark the intersection points of the two graphs.
  4. Shade the segment that is the solution to the example.

When strict signs are present in an expression, the intersection points are not solutions. Since the smallest positive period of a sinusoid is 2π, we write the answer as follows:

If the signs of the expression are not strict, then the solution interval must be enclosed in square brackets - . The answer to the problem can also be written as the following inequality:

Method 2 - Solving trigonometric inequalities using the unit circle

Similar problems can be easily solved using a trigonometric circle. The algorithm for finding answers is very simple:

  1. First you need to draw a unit circle.
  2. Then you need to note the value of the arc function of the argument of the right side of the inequality on the arc of the circle.
  3. It is necessary to draw a straight line passing through the value of the arc function parallel to the abscissa axis (OX).
  4. After that, all that remains is to select the arc of a circle, which is the set of solutions to the trigonometric inequality.
  5. Write down the answer in the required form.

Let us analyze the stages of the solution using the example of the inequality sin x › 1/2. Points α and β are marked on the circle - values

The points of the arc located above α and β are the interval for solving the given inequality.

If you need to solve an example for cos, then the answer arc will be located symmetrically to the OX axis, not OY. You can consider the difference between the solution intervals for sin and cos in the diagrams below in the text.

Graphical solutions for tangent and cotangent inequalities will differ from both sine and cosine. This is due to the properties of functions.

Arctangent and arccotangent are tangents to a trigonometric circle, and the minimum positive period for both functions is π. To quickly and correctly use the second method, you need to remember on which axis the values ​​of sin, cos, tg and ctg are plotted.

The tangent tangent runs parallel to the OY axis. If we plot the value of arctan a on the unit circle, then the second required point will be located in the diagonal quarter. Angles

They are break points for the function, since the graph tends to them, but never reaches them.

In the case of cotangent, the tangent runs parallel to the OX axis, and the function is interrupted at points π and 2π.

Complex trigonometric inequalities

If the argument of the inequality function is represented not just by a variable, but by an entire expression containing an unknown, then we are talking about a complex inequality. The process and procedure for solving it are somewhat different from the methods described above. Suppose we need to find a solution to the following inequality:

The graphical solution involves constructing an ordinary sinusoid y = sin x using arbitrarily selected values ​​of x. Let's calculate a table with coordinates for the control points of the graph:

The result should be a beautiful curve.

To make finding a solution easier, let’s replace the complex function argument

The intersection of two graphs allows us to determine the area of ​​​​the desired values ​​at which the inequality condition is satisfied.

The found segment is a solution for the variable t:

However, the goal of the task is to find everything possible options unknown x:

Solving the double inequality is quite simple; you need to move π/3 to the extreme parts of the equation and perform the required calculations:

Answer to the task will look like the interval for strict inequality:

Such problems will require students' experience and dexterity in handling trigonometric functions. The more training tasks are solved during the preparation process, the easier and faster the student will find the answer to the question. Unified State Exam question test.

LIST OF SOURCES USED


In ancient times, trigonometry arose in connection with the needs of astronomy, land surveying and construction, that is, it was purely geometric in nature and represented mainly<<исчисление хорд>>. Over time, some analytical moments began to intersperse into it. In the first half of the 18th century there was a sharp change, after which trigonometry took a new direction and shifted towards mathematical analysis. It was at this time that trigonometric relationships began to be considered as functions.

Trigonometric equations are one of the most difficult topics in a school mathematics course. Trigonometric equations arise when solving problems in planimetry, stereometry, astronomy, physics and other fields. Trigonometric equations and inequalities are found among centralized testing tasks year after year.

The most important difference trigonometric equations from algebraic ones is that in algebraic equations there is a finite number of roots, and in trigonometric ones there is an infinite number, which greatly complicates the selection of roots. Another specific feature of trigonometric equations is the non-unique form of writing the answer.

This thesis is devoted to methods for solving trigonometric equations and inequalities.

The thesis consists of 6 sections.

The first section provides basic theoretical information: definition and properties of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions; table of values ​​of trigonometric functions for some arguments; expressing trigonometric functions in terms of other trigonometric functions, which is very important for transforming trigonometric expressions, especially those containing inverse trigonometric functions; except the main ones trigonometric formulas, well known from the school course, formulas are given for simplifying expressions containing inverse trigonometric functions.

The second section outlines the basic methods for solving trigonometric equations. The solution of elementary trigonometric equations, the factorization method, and methods for reducing trigonometric equations to algebraic ones are considered. Due to the fact that solutions to trigonometric equations can be written in several ways, and the form of these solutions does not allow one to immediately determine whether these solutions are the same or different, which may<<сбить с толку>> when solving tests, the general scheme for solving trigonometric equations is considered and the transformation of groups of general solutions of trigonometric equations is considered in detail.

The third section examines non-standard trigonometric equations, the solutions of which are based on the functional approach.

The fourth section discusses trigonometric inequalities. Methods for solving elementary trigonometric inequalities, both on the unit circle and by the graphical method, are discussed in detail. The process of solving non-elementary trigonometric inequalities through elementary inequalities and the method of intervals, already well known to schoolchildren, is described.

The fifth section presents the most difficult tasks: when it is necessary not only to solve a trigonometric equation, but also to select roots from the found roots that satisfy some condition. This section provides solutions to typical root selection tasks. The necessary theoretical information for selecting roots is given: partitioning a set of integers into disjoint subsets, solving equations in integers (diaphantine).

The sixth section presents tasks for independent solution, presented in the form of a test. The 20 test tasks contain the most difficult tasks that can be encountered during centralized testing.

Elementary trigonometric equations

Elementary trigonometric equations are equations of the form , where --- one of the trigonometric functions: , , , .

Elementary trigonometric equations have an infinite number of roots. For example, the following values ​​satisfy the equation: , , , etc. General formula along which all the roots of the equation are found, where , is:

Here it can take any integer values, each of them corresponds to a specific root of the equation; in this formula (as well as in other formulas by which elementary trigonometric equations are solved) are called parameter. They usually write , thereby emphasizing that the parameter can accept any integer values.

Solutions of the equation , where , are found by the formula

The equation is solved using the formula

and the equation is by the formula

Let us especially note some special cases of elementary trigonometric equations, when the solution can be written without using general formulas:

When solving trigonometric equations, the period of trigonometric functions plays an important role. Therefore, we present two useful theorems:

Theorem If --- the main period of the function, then the number is the main period of the function.

The periods of the functions and are said to be commensurable if there exist integers So what .

Theorem If periodic functions and , have commensurate and , then they have a common period, which is the period of the functions , , .

The theorem states that the period of the function , , , is, and is not necessarily the main period. For example, the main period of the functions and --- , and the main period of their product --- .

Introducing an auxiliary argument

By the standard way of transforming expressions of the form is the following technique: let --- corner, given by the equalities , . For any, such an angle exists. Thus . If , or , , , in other cases.

Scheme for solving trigonometric equations

The basic scheme that we will follow when solving trigonometric equations is as follows:

solution given equation comes down to solving elementary equations. Solutions --- conversions, factorization, replacement of unknowns. The guiding principle is not to lose your roots. This means that when moving to the next equation(s), we are not afraid of the appearance of extra (extraneous) roots, but only care that each subsequent equation of our “chain” (or a set of equations in the case of branching) is a consequence of the previous one. One of possible methods root selection is a check. Let us immediately note that in the case of trigonometric equations, the difficulties associated with selecting roots and checking, as a rule, increase sharply compared to algebraic equations. After all, we have to check series consisting of infinite number members.

Special mention should be made of the replacement of unknowns when solving trigonometric equations. In most cases, after the necessary replacement, it turns out algebraic equation. Moreover, equations are not so rare that, although they are trigonometric in appearance, essentially they are not, since after the first step --- replacements variables --- turn into algebraic ones, and a return to trigonometry occurs only at the stage of solving elementary trigonometric equations.

Let us remind you once again: the replacement of the unknown should be done at the first opportunity; the resulting equation after the replacement must be solved to the end, including the stage of selecting the roots, and only then returned to the original unknown.

One of the features of trigonometric equations is that the answer can, in many cases, be written in a variety of ways. Even to solve the equation the answer can be written as follows:

1) in the form of two series: , , ;

2) in standard form, which is a combination of the above series: , ;

3) because , then the answer can be written in the form , . (In what follows, the presence of the , , or parameter in the response record automatically means that this parameter accepts all possible integer values. Exceptions will be specified.)

Obviously, the three listed cases do not exhaust all the possibilities for writing the answer to the equation under consideration (there are infinitely many of them).

For example, when the equality is true . Therefore, in the first two cases, if , we can replace by .

Usually the answer is written on the basis of point 2. It is useful to remember the following recommendation: if the work does not end with solving the equation, it is still necessary to conduct research and select roots, then the most convenient form of recording is indicated in point 1. (A similar recommendation should be given for the equation.)

Let's consider an example illustrating what has been said.

Example Solve the equation.

Solution. The most obvious way is the following. This equation breaks down into two: and . Solving each of them and combining the answers obtained, we find .

Another way. Since , then, replacing and using the formulas for reducing the degree. After small transformations we get , from where .

At first glance, the second formula does not have any special advantages over the first. However, if we take, for example, then it turns out that, i.e. the equation has a solution, while the first method leads us to the answer . "See" and prove equality not so easy.

Answer. .

Converting and combining groups of general solutions of trigonometric equations

We will consider an arithmetic progression that extends indefinitely in both directions. The members of this progression can be divided into two groups of members, located to the right and left of a certain member called the central or zero member of the progression.

By fixing one of the terms of an infinite progression with a zero number, we will have to carry out double numbering for all remaining terms: positive for terms located to the right, and negative for terms located to the left of zero.

IN general case, if the difference of the progression is the zero term, the formula for any (th) term of an infinite arithmetic progression is:

Formula transformations for any term of an infinite arithmetic progression

1. If you add or subtract the difference of the progression to the zero term, then the progression will not change, but only the zero term will move, i.e. The numbering of members will change.

2. If the coefficient at variable multiplied by , then this will only result in a rearrangement of the right and left groups of members.

3. If successive terms of an infinite progression

for example, , , ..., , make the central terms of progressions with the same difference equal to:

then a progression and a series of progressions express the same numbers.

Example The row can be replaced by the following three rows: , , .

4. If infinite progressions with the same difference have as central terms numbers that form an arithmetic progression with difference , then these series can be replaced by one progression with difference , and with a central term equal to any of the central terms of these progressions, i.e. If

then these progressions are combined into one:

Example . . . both are combined into one group, since .

To transform groups that have common solutions into groups that do not have common solutions, these groups are decomposed into groups with a common period, and then try to unite the resulting groups, excluding repeating ones.

Factorization

The factorization method is as follows: if

then every solution of the equation

is the solution to a set of equations

The converse statement is, generally speaking, false: not every solution to the population is a solution to the equation. This is explained by the fact that solutions to individual equations may not be included in the domain of definition of the function.

Functional methods for solving trigonometric and combined equations

Not every equation as a result of transformations can be reduced to an equation of one or another standard form, for which there is a specific solution method. In such cases, it turns out to be useful to use such properties of functions and as monotonicity, boundedness, parity, periodicity, etc. So, if one of the functions decreases and the second increases on the interval, then if the equation has a root on this interval, this root is unique, and then, for example, it can be found by selection. If the function is bounded above, and , and the function is bounded below, and , then the equation is equivalent to the system of equations

Symmetry method

The symmetry method is convenient to use when the formulation of the task requires the unique solution of an equation, inequality, system, etc. or an exact indication of the number of solutions. In this case, any symmetry of the given expressions should be detected.

It is also necessary to take into account the variety of different possible types of symmetry.

Equally important is strict adherence to logical stages in reasoning with symmetry.

Typically, symmetry allows us to establish only the necessary conditions, and then we need to check their sufficiency.

Example Find all values ​​of the parameter for which the equation has a unique solution.

Solving trigonometric inequalities using the unit circle

When solving trigonometric inequalities of the form , where is one of the trigonometric functions, it is convenient to use a trigonometric circle in order to most clearly represent the solutions to the inequality and write down the answer. The main method for solving trigonometric inequalities is to reduce them to the simplest inequalities of type. Let's look at an example of how to solve such inequalities.

Example Solve the inequality.

Solution. Let's draw a trigonometric circle and mark on it the points for which the ordinate exceeds .

The solution to this inequality will be . It is also clear that if a certain number differs from any number from the specified interval by , then it will also be no less than . Therefore, you just need to add to the ends of the found solution segment. Finally, we find that the solutions to the original inequality will be all .

Answer. .

To solve inequalities with tangent and cotangent, the concept of a line of tangents and cotangents is useful. These are the straight lines and, respectively (in Figure (1) and (2)), tangent to the trigonometric circle.

It is easy to see that if we construct a ray with its origin at the origin of coordinates, making an angle with the positive direction of the abscissa axis, then the length of the segment from the point to the point of intersection of this ray with the tangent line is exactly equal to the tangent of the angle that this ray makes with the abscissa axis. A similar observation occurs for cotangent.

Example Solve the inequality.

Solution. Let us denote , then the inequality will take the simplest form: . Let's consider an interval of length equal to the smallest positive period (LPP) of the tangent. On this segment, using the line of tangents, we establish that . Let us now remember what needs to be added since NPP functions. So, . Returning to the variable, we obtain that.

Answer. .

It is convenient to solve inequalities with inverse trigonometric functions using graphs of inverse trigonometric functions. Let's show how this is done with an example.

Solving trigonometric inequalities graphically

Note that if --- periodic function, then to solve the inequality it is necessary to find its solution on a segment whose length is equal to the period of the function. All solutions to the original inequality will consist of the found values, as well as all those that differ from those found by any integer number of periods of the function.

Let's consider the solution to inequality ().

Since , then the inequality has no solutions. If , then the set of solutions to the inequality --- a bunch of all real numbers.

Let . The sine function has the smallest positive period, so the inequality can be solved first on a segment of length, for example, on the segment. We build graphs of functions and (). are given by inequalities of the form: and, from where,

In this work, methods for solving trigonometric equations and inequalities, both simple and Olympiad level, were considered. The main methods for solving trigonometric equations and inequalities were considered, and, moreover, as specific --- characteristic only for trigonometric equations and inequalities, and general functional methods for solving equations and inequalities as applied to trigonometric equations.

The thesis provides basic theoretical information: definition and properties of trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions; expressing trigonometric functions in terms of other trigonometric functions, which is very important for transforming trigonometric expressions, especially those containing inverse trigonometric functions; In addition to the basic trigonometric formulas, well known from the school course, formulas are given that simplify expressions containing inverse trigonometric functions. The solution of elementary trigonometric equations, the factorization method, and methods for reducing trigonometric equations to algebraic ones are considered. Due to the fact that solutions to trigonometric equations can be written in several ways, and the form of these solutions does not allow one to immediately determine whether these solutions are the same or different, a general scheme for solving trigonometric equations is considered and the transformation of groups of general solutions of trigonometric equations is considered in detail. Methods for solving elementary trigonometric inequalities, both on the unit circle and by the graphical method, are discussed in detail. The process of solving non-elementary trigonometric inequalities through elementary inequalities and the method of intervals, already well known to schoolchildren, is described. Solutions to typical tasks for selecting roots are given. The necessary theoretical information for selecting roots is given: partitioning a set of integers into disjoint subsets, solving equations in integers (diaphantine).

The results of this thesis can be used as educational material in the preparation of coursework and theses, when compiling electives for schoolchildren, the work can also be used in preparing students for entrance exams and centralized testing.

METHODS FOR SOLVING TRIGONOMETRIC INEQUALITIES

Relevance. Historically, trigonometric equations and inequalities have been given a special place in the school curriculum. We can say that trigonometry is one of the most important sections of the school course and the entire mathematical science in general.

Trigonometric equations and inequalities occupy one of the central places in the secondary school mathematics course, both in terms of the content of educational material and the methods of educational and cognitive activity that can and should be formed during their study and applied to the solution large number problems of theoretical and applied nature.

Solving trigonometric equations and inequalities creates the prerequisites for systematizing students’ knowledge related to everything educational material in trigonometry (for example, properties of trigonometric functions, methods of transforming trigonometric expressions, etc.) and makes it possible to establish effective connections with the studied material in algebra (equations, equivalence of equations, inequalities, identical transformations of algebraic expressions, etc.).

In other words, consideration of techniques for solving trigonometric equations and inequalities involves a kind of transfer of these skills to new content.

§1. Types of trigonometric inequalities and basic methods for solving them

1.1. The simplest trigonometric inequalities

Two trigonometric expressions connected by the sign or > are called trigonometric inequalities.

Solving a trigonometric inequality means finding the set of values ​​of the unknowns included in the inequality for which the inequality is satisfied.

The main part of trigonometric inequalities is solved by reducing them to the simplest solution:


This may be a method of factorization, change of variable (
,
etc.), where the usual inequality is first solved, and then an inequality of the form
etc., or other methods.

The simplest inequalities can be solved in two ways: using the unit circle or graphically.

Letf(x – one of the basic trigonometric functions. To solve the inequality
it is enough to find its solution on one period, i.e. on any segment whose length is equal to the period of the function
f x . Then the solution to the original inequality will be all foundx , as well as those values ​​that differ from those found by any integer number of periods of the function. In this case, it is convenient to use the graphical method.

Let us give an example of an algorithm for solving inequalities
(
) And
.

Algorithm for solving inequality

1. Formulate the definition of the sine of a numberx on the unit circle.

3. On the ordinate axis, mark the point with the coordinatea .

4. Draw a line parallel to the OX axis through this point and mark its intersection points with the circle.

5. Select an arc of a circle, all points of which have an ordinate less thana .

6. Indicate the direction of the round (counterclockwise) and write down the answer by adding the period of the function to the ends of the interval2πn ,
.

Algorithm for solving inequality

1. Formulate the definition of the tangent of a numberx on the unit circle.

2. Draw a unit circle.

3. Draw a line of tangents and mark a point with an ordinate on ita .

4. Connect this point with the origin and mark the point of intersection of the resulting segment with the unit circle.

5. Select an arc of a circle, all points of which have an ordinate on the tangent line less thana .

6. Indicate the direction of the traversal and write the answer taking into account the domain of definition of the function, adding a periodπn ,
(the number on the left in the entry is always less number, standing on the right).

Graphic interpretation of solutions to simple equations and formulas for solving inequalities in general view are indicated in the appendix (Appendices 1 and 2).

Example 1. Solve the inequality

Draw a straight line on the unit circle
, which intersects the circle at points A and B.

All meaningsy on the interval NM is greater , all points of the AMB arc satisfy this inequality. At all rotation angles, large , but smaller ,

1.2. Graphical method

In practice, the graphical method for solving trigonometric inequalities often turns out to be useful. Let us consider the essence of the method using the example of inequality
:

1. If the argument is complex (different fromX ), then replace it witht .

2. We build in one coordinate planetOy function graphs
And
.

3. We find suchtwo adjacent points of intersection of graphs, between whichsine wavelocatedhigher straight
. We find the abscissas of these points.

4. Write a double inequality for the argumentt , taking into account the cosine period (t will be between the found abscissas).

5. Make a reverse substitution (return to the original argument) and express the valueX from the double inequality, we write the answer in the form of a numerical interval.

Example 2. Solve inequality: .

When solving inequalities using the graphical method, it is necessary to construct graphs of functions as accurately as possible. Let's transform the inequality to the form:

Let's construct graphs of functions in one coordinate system
And

1.3. Algebraic method

Quite often, the original trigonometric inequality can be reduced to an algebraic (rational or irrational) inequality through a well-chosen substitution. This method involves transforming an inequality, introducing a substitution, or replacing a variable.

Let's look at specific examples application of this method.

1.4. Interval method

General scheme for solving trigonometric inequalities using the interval method:

    Factor using trigonometric formulas.

    Find the discontinuity points and zeros of the function and place them on the circle.

    Take any pointTO (but not found earlier) and find out the sign of the product. If the product is positive, then place a point outside the unit circle on the ray corresponding to the angle. Otherwise, place the point inside the circle.

    If the point meets even number times, let's call it a point of even multiplicity; if an odd number of times, we'll call it a point of odd multiplicity. Draw arcs as follows: start from a pointTO , if the next point is of odd multiplicity, then the arc intersects the circle at this point, but if the point is of even multiplicity, then it does not intersect.

    Arcs behind the circle are positive intervals; inside the circle there are negative spaces.

Example 5. Solve inequality

Each point occurs an odd number of times, that is, all points are of odd multiplicity.

On the unit circle series valuesX 1 represented by dots

. Finally, the series
X 4 will represent points
. Let's plot all these points on the unit circle, indicating its multiplicity in parentheses next to each of them.

Let now the number will be equal. Let's make an estimate based on the sign:

So, full stopA should be selected on the ray forming the angle with beamOh, outside the unit circle. (Note that the auxiliary beamABOUT A It is not at all necessary to depict it in a picture. DotA is chosen approximately.)

Now from the pointA draw a wavy continuous line sequentially to all marked points. And at points
our line goes from one area to another: if it was outside the unit circle, then it goes inside it. Approaching the point , the line returns to the inner region, since the multiplicity of this point is even. Similarly at the point (with even multiplicity) the line has to be turned to the outer region. So, we drew a certain picture shown in Fig. 7. It helps to highlight the desired areas on the unit circle. They are marked with a “+” sign.

Fig.7

Final answer:

Note. If a wavy line, after going around all the points marked on the unit circle, cannot be returned to the pointA , without crossing the circle in an “illegal” place, this means that an error was made in the solution, namely, an odd number of roots were missed.

§2. A set of problems for solving trigonometric inequalities

In the process of developing the ability of schoolchildren to solve trigonometric inequalities, 3 stages can also be distinguished.

1. preparatory,

2. developing the ability to solve simple trigonometric inequalities;

3. introduction of trigonometric inequalities of other types.

The purpose of the preparatory stage is that it is necessary to develop in schoolchildren the ability to use a trigonometric circle or graph to solve inequalities, namely:

Ability to solve simple inequalities of the form
,
,
,
,
using the properties of the sine and cosine functions;

Ability to construct double inequalities for arcs of the number circle or for arcs of graphs of functions;

Ability to perform various transformations of trigonometric expressions.

It is recommended to implement this stage in the process of systematizing schoolchildren’s knowledge about the properties of trigonometric functions. The main means can be tasks offered to students and performed either under the guidance of a teacher or independently, as well as skills developed in solving trigonometric equations.

Here are examples of such tasks:

1 . Mark a point on the unit circle , If

2. In which quarter of the coordinate plane is the point located? , If equals:

8. Convert Expression .

At the second stage of learning to solve trigonometric inequalities, we can offer the following recommendations related to the methodology for organizing student activities. In this case, it is necessary to focus on the students’ existing skills in working with a trigonometric circle or graph, formed while solving the simplest trigonometric equations.

First, motivate the feasibility of obtaining general admission solutions to the simplest trigonometric inequalities can be achieved by turning, for example, to an inequality of the form
. Using the knowledge and skills acquired at preparatory stage, students will reduce the proposed inequality to the form
, but may find it difficult to find a set of solutions to the resulting inequality, because It is impossible to solve it only using the properties of the sine function. This difficulty can be avoided by turning to the appropriate illustration (solving the equation graphically or using a unit circle).

Secondly, the teacher should draw students' attention to various ways complete the task, give an appropriate example of solving the inequality both graphically and using a trigonometric circle.

Let us consider the following solutions to the inequality
.

1. Solving the inequality using the unit circle.

In the first lesson on solving trigonometric inequalities, we will offer students a detailed solution algorithm, which in a step-by-step presentation reflects all the basic skills necessary to solve the inequality.

Step 1.Let's draw a unit circle and mark a point on the ordinate axis and draw a straight line through it parallel to the x-axis. This line will intersect the unit circle at two points. Each of these points represents numbers whose sine is equal to .

Step 2.This straight line divided the circle into two arcs. Let us select the one that depicts numbers that have a sine greater than . Naturally, this arc is located above the drawn straight line.

Rice. 2

Step 3.Select one of the ends of the marked arc. Let's write down one of the numbers that is represented by this point of the unit circle .

Step 4.In order to select the number corresponding to the second end of the selected arc, we “walk” along this arc from the named end to the other. At the same time, recall that when moving counterclockwise, the numbers we will go through increase (when moving in the opposite direction, the numbers would decrease). Let's write down the number that is depicted on the unit circle by the second end of the marked arc .

Thus, we see that inequality
satisfy the numbers for which the inequality is true
. We solved the inequality for numbers located on the same period of the sine function. Therefore, all solutions to the inequality can be written in the form

Students should be asked to carefully examine the drawing and figure out why all the solutions to the inequality
can be written in the form
,
.

It is necessary to draw students' attention to the fact that when solving inequalities for the cosine function, we draw a straight line parallel to the ordinate axis.

    Graphic method solutions to inequalities.

We build graphs

(Givingn values ​​0, 1, 2, we find the three roots of the compiled equation). Values
are three consecutive abscissas of the intersection points of the graphs
And
. Obviously, always on the interval
inequality holds
, and on the interval
– inequality
. We are interested in the first case, and then adding to the ends of this interval a number that is a multiple of the period of the sine, we obtain a solution to the inequality
as:
,
.

Rice. 5

Summarize. To solve the inequality
, you need to create the corresponding equation and solve it. Find the roots from the resulting formula And , and write the answer to the inequality in the form: ,
.

Thirdly, the fact about the set of roots of the corresponding trigonometric inequality is very clearly confirmed when solving it graphically.

Rice. 6

It is necessary to demonstrate to students that the turn, which is the solution to the inequality, is repeated through the same interval, equal to the period of the trigonometric function. You can also consider a similar illustration for the graph of the sine function.

Fourthly, it is advisable to carry out work on updating students’ techniques for converting the sum (difference) of trigonometric functions into a product, and to draw students’ attention to the role of these techniques in solving trigonometric inequalities.

Such work can be organized through students’ independent completion of tasks proposed by the teacher, among which we highlight the following:

Fifthly, students must be required to illustrate the solution to each simple trigonometric inequality using a graph or a trigonometric circle. You should definitely pay attention to its expediency, especially to the use of the circle, since when solving trigonometric inequalities, the corresponding illustration serves as a very convenient means of recording the set of solutions to a given inequality

It is advisable to introduce students to methods for solving trigonometric inequalities that are not the simplest ones according to the following scheme: turning to a specific trigonometric inequality turning to the corresponding trigonometric equation joint search (teacher - students) for a solution independent transfer of the found method to other inequalities of the same type.

In order to systematize students’ knowledge about trigonometry, we recommend specially selecting such inequalities, the solution of which requires various transformations that can be implemented in the process of solving it, and focusing students’ attention on their features.

As such productive inequalities we can propose, for example, the following:

In conclusion, we give an example of a set of problems for solving trigonometric inequalities.

§3. Special methods for solving trigonometric inequalities

Special methods for solving trigonometric equations - that is, those methods that can only be used to solve trigonometric equations. These methods are based on the use of the properties of trigonometric functions, as well as on the use of various trigonometric formulas and identities.

3.1. Sector method

Let's consider the sector method for solving trigonometric inequalities. Solving inequalities of the form

, WhereP ( x ) AndQ ( x ) – rational trigonometric functions (sines, cosines, tangents and cotangents are included in them rationally), similar to solving rational inequalities. It is convenient to solve rational inequalities using the method of intervals on the number line. Its analogue for solving rational trigonometric inequalities is the method of sectors in the trigonometric circle, forsinx Andcosx (
) or trigonometric semicircle for
tgx Andctgx (
).


In the interval method, each linear factor of the numerator and denominator of the form
on the number axis corresponds to a point , and when passing through this point
changes sign. In the sector method, each factor of the form
, Where
- one of the functions
sinx orcosx And
, in a trigonometric circle there correspond two angles And
, which divide the circle into two sectors. When passing through And function
changes sign.

The following must be remembered:

a) Factors of the form
And
, Where
, retain sign for all values . Such factors of the numerator and denominator are discarded by changing (if
) with each such rejection, the inequality sign is reversed.

b) Factors of the form
And
are also discarded. Moreover, if these are factors of the denominator, then inequalities of the form are added to the equivalent system of inequalities
And
. If these are factors of the numerator, then in the equivalent system of restrictions they correspond to the inequalities
And
in the case of a strict initial inequality, and equality
And
in the case of a non-strict initial inequality. When discarding the multiplier
or
the inequality sign is reversed.

Example 1. Solve inequalities: a)

we have function b) . Solve the inequality We have,

3.2. Concentric circle method

This method is an analogue of the parallel number axes method for solving systems of rational inequalities.

Let's consider an example of a system of inequalities.

Example 5. Solve a system of simple trigonometric inequalities

First, we solve each inequality separately (Figure 5). In the upper right corner of the figure we will indicate for which argument the trigonometric circle is being considered.

Fig.5

Next, we build a system of concentric circles for the argumentX . We draw a circle and shade it according to the solution of the first inequality, then we draw a circle of a larger radius and shade it according to the solution of the second, then we construct a circle for the third inequality and a base circle. We draw rays from the center of the system through the ends of the arcs so that they intersect all the circles. We form a solution on the base circle (Figure 6).

Conclusion

All objectives of the course research were completed. The theoretical material is systematized: the main types of trigonometric inequalities and the main methods for solving them are given (graphical, algebraic, method of intervals, sectors and the method of concentric circles). An example of solving an inequality was given for each method. The theoretical part was followed by the practical part. It contains a set of tasks for solving trigonometric inequalities.

This coursework can be used by students for independent work. Schoolchildren can check the level of mastery of this topic and practice completing tasks of varying complexity.

Having studied the relevant literature on this issue Obviously, we can conclude that the ability and skills to solve trigonometric inequalities in the school course of algebra and the beginnings of analysis are very important, the development of which requires significant effort on the part of the mathematics teacher.

That's why this work will be useful for mathematics teachers, as it makes it possible to effectively organize the training of students on the topic “Trigonometric inequalities.”

The research can be continued by expanding it to a final qualifying work.

Solutions to simple inequalities

Solving simple trigonometric equations

First, let's remember the formulas for solving the simplest trigonometric equations.

  1. $sinx=a$
  1. $cosx=a$
  1. $tgx=a$
  1. $ctgx=a$

Solving simple trigonometric inequalities.

To solve the simplest trigonometric inequalities, we first need to solve the corresponding equation, and then, using a trigonometric circle, find a solution to the inequality. Let's consider solutions to the simplest trigonometric inequalities using examples.

Example 1

$sinx\ge \frac(1)(2)$

Let's find the solution to the trigonometric inequality $sinx=\frac(1)(2)$

\ \

Figure 1. Solution of the inequality $sinx\ge \frac(1)(2)$.

Since the inequality has a “greater than or equal to” sign, the solution lies on the upper arc of the circle (relative to the solution to the equation).

Answer: $\left[\frac(\pi )(6)+2\pi n,\frac(5\pi )(6)+2\pi n\right]$.

Example 2

Let's find the solution to the trigonometric inequality $cosx=\frac(\sqrt(3))(2)$

\ \

Let us mark the solution on the trigonometric circle

Since the inequality has a “less than” sign, the solution lies on the arc of a circle located to the left (relative to the solution of the equation).

Answer: $\left(\frac(\pi )(6)+2\pi n,\frac(11\pi )(6)+2\pi n\right)$.

Example 3

$tgx\le \frac(\sqrt(3))(3)$

Let's find the solution to the trigonometric inequality $tgx=\frac(\sqrt(3))(3)$

\ \

Here we also need a domain of definition. As we remember, the tangent function $x\ne \frac(\pi )(2)+\pi n,n\in Z$

Let us mark the solution on the trigonometric circle

Figure 3. Solution of the inequality $tgx\le \frac(\sqrt(3))(3)$.

Since the inequality has a “less than or equal” sign, the solution lies on the circular arcs marked in blue in Figure 3.

Answer:$\ \left(-\frac(\pi )(2)+2\pi n\right.,\left.\frac(\pi )(6)+2\pi n\right]\cup \left (\frac(\pi )(2)+2\pi n,\right.\left.\frac(7\pi )(6)+2\pi n\right]$

Example 4

Let's find the solution to the trigonometric inequality $ctgx=\sqrt(3)$

\ \

Here we also need a domain of definition. As we remember, the tangent function $x\ne \pi n,n\in Z$

Let us mark the solution on the trigonometric circle

Figure 4. Solution of the inequality $ctgx\le \sqrt(3)$.

Since the inequality has a “greater than” sign, the solution lies on the circular arcs marked in blue in Figure 4.

Answer:$\ \left(2\pi n,\frac(\pi )(6)+2\pi n\right)\cup \left(\pi +2\pi n,\frac(7\pi )( 6)+2\pi n\right)$
