The document outlines a systematic approach to solving the equation f(g(sin θ)) = 0 within the interval 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. It breaks down the problem into two parts: solving for the outer function f and then the inner function g, leading to two cases for sin θ. The final result provides four valid angles for θ: π/6, 5π/6, π/4, and 3π/4.

Conceptual Problem Solution

1. Problem Statement
Using the given definitions of the functions f and g, find all solutions for θ within
the interval 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π such that:

f (g(sin θ)) = 0

2. Step-by-Step Deep-Dive Explanation


To solve this composite function clearly, we will systematically work our way
from the outermost layer down to the inner variable θ.

Part A: Solving for the Outer Function Layer (f )


We start with the entire compound relation set to zero: f (g(sin θ)) = 0. Let us
define a temporary variable a to represent the inside part:

a = g(sin θ)

This turns our equation into f (a) = 0. According to the problem rules, the
function output f (a) = 0 is equivalent to solving the following quadratic
equation:
2a2 − 3a + 1 = 0
We can solve this quadratic equation easily by factoring the middle term:

2a2 − 2a − a + 1 = 0

2a(a − 1) − 1(a − 1) = 0
(a − 1)(2a − 1) = 0
This gives us two possible values for our variable a:
1
a = 1 or a =
2
Now, replacing a back with g(sin θ), our problem cleanly splits into two separate
cases to solve:
1
g(sin θ) = 1 and g(sin θ) =

Part B: Solving for the Inner Function Layer (g)
Next, we evaluate the function g(b), which is defined as a base- 12 logarithm
function: log 1 b. Here, our inner argument b is equal to sin θ. We apply the

definition to both cases from Part A to isolate sin θ:

• Case 1: When g(sin θ) = 1

log 1 (sin θ) = 1

Converting this logarithmic equation into its exponential form:

Part C: Finding the Angles (θ)


Now, we locate all the valid angles for θ within the specified domain of
0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π (one complete revolution on the unit circle). Since the sine function
values are positive in both Quadrant I and Quadrant II, each case yields two
distinct angles:

1. From sin θ = 12 :
The standard acute reference angle in Quadrant I is 30◦ , which is π6 .
The corresponding angle in Quadrant II is:
π 5
θ=π− = π
6 6

2. From sin θ = √12 :


The standard acute reference angle in Quadrant I is 45◦ , which is π4 .
The corresponding angle in Quadrant II is:
π 3
θ=π− = π
4 4

3. Final Verdict
Combining the results from both cases, we get exactly four values for θ arranged
in ascending order:
1 1 3 5
θ = π, π, π, π
6 4 4 6
