Solve the following equations
i) State the general solution
ii) $0 \leq x \leq 2\pi$ $0 \leq x \leq 2 π$
1. $\sin 3x = - {1 \over 2}$
2. $\cos 2x = {\sqrt2 \over 2}$
3. $\tan {x \over 2} = -1$
4. $3\sin^2 2x -7 \sin 2x = 1 - 5 \sin 2x$
Solve: $\sin 2x - \cos 2x = 0$ $sin 2 x - cos 2 x = 0$
$-180^\circ \leq x \leq 180^\circ$ $- 18 0^{\circ} \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ}$
