Problem
How many values of 
in the interval 
satisfy![\[1-3\sin\theta+5\cos3\theta = 0?\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/5/8/b58210a8828d746350c9d6235739f48869ca7cf6.png)
Solution
First, move terms to get 
. After graphing, we find that there are 
solutions (two in each period of 
). -dstanz5
Solution 1
We can graph two functions in this case: 
and 
. ![\[\newline\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/7/2/c721557bcaa86e38c25ffa8c48f3b057b9f631e2.png)
Using transformation of functions, we know that is just a cos function with
amplitude 5 and frequency 
. Similarly, is just a sin function
with amplitude 3 and shifted 1 unit downwards. So:
![[asy] import graph; size(400,200,IgnoreAspect); real Sin(real t) {return 3*sin(t) - 1;} real Cos(real t) {return 5*cos(3*t);} draw(graph(Sin,0, 2pi),red,"$3\sin{x} -1 $"); draw(graph(Cos,0, 2pi),blue,"$5\cos{3x}$"); xaxis("$x$",BottomTop,LeftTicks); yaxis("$y$",LeftRight,RightTicks(trailingzero)); add(legend(),point(E),20E,UnFill); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/d/9/3d9389c15400dfa88ba64f7bb7be2879cf83e6c4.png)
We have 
solutions.
