4 θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, 4 θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

4 θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, 4 θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Solve

4 θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn : θ = \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

4 θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

4 θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 θ}{4} = \frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 θ}{4} = \frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 θ}{4} : θ

\frac{4 θ}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{4} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4} : \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

\frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4} = \frac{7 π}{24}

\frac{\frac{7 π}{6}}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{7 π}{6 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 4 = 24

= \frac{7 π}{24}

\frac{2 πn}{4} = \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{2 πn}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{πn}{2}

= \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

θ = \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

θ = \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

θ = \frac{7 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

Solve

4 θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn : θ = \frac{11 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

4 θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

4 θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 θ}{4} = \frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 θ}{4} = \frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 θ}{4} : θ

\frac{4 θ}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{4} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4} : \frac{11 π}{24} + \frac{πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4} + \frac{2 πn}{4}

\frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4} = \frac{11 π}{24}

\frac{\frac{11 π}{6}}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{11 π}{6 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 4 = 24

= \frac{11 π}{24}

\frac{2 πn}{4} = \frac{πn}{2}
