Answer:
The value of t that will satisfy the equation is π/6 (which is 30 degrees)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that models the movement of the particle is given as;
S(t) = 2 sin(t) + 3 cos (t)
Now we want to the value of t between 0 and pi/2 that satisfies the equation;
s(t) = (2+ 3√3)/2 = 1 + 3√3/2
What we do here is simply find that value of t that would ensure that;
2sin(t) + 3cos(t) = 1 + 3√3/2
Without any need for rigorous calculations, this value of t can be gotten by inspection.
From our regular trigonometry, we know that the sin of angle 30 is 1/2 and its cos value is √3/2
We can make a substitution for it in this equation.
We obtain the following;
2 sin(30) + 3cos (30) and that is exactly equal to 1 + 3√3/2
Do not forget however that we have a range. And the range in question is between 0 and π/2
Kindly that π/2 in degrees is 90 degrees
So our range of values here is between 0 and 90 degrees.
So to follow the notation in the question, the value within the range that will satisfy the equation is π/6
