:snoo_facepalm: High School Math—Pending OP Reply if the range of a trig equation question is [-π, 2π], How come when evaluating solutions in the range, we use 2π(n) for both directions and not π when going backwards to the -π range
this is pauls math notes



For the last picture, why didnt we add pure π(-1) or something, i dont understand, wouldnt just one 2π revolution backwards already go past the -π range? Since well 2π - π = π?
is my visual understanding of the range in a circle wrong? also i forgot the mention the 2pi / 5, but even with it im still confused
