What are principal and general solutions?

Last updated at May 29, 2018 by

Suppose

  sin x = ½

So, x = 30°

i.e. x = π/6

 

Principal solutions are those solutions where

  0 ≤ x ≤ 2π

 

General solutions are those solutions where

  x can be of any value

 

Let’s learn how to find general and principal solutions
