4x2 - 8x + 3
=> 4x2 - 2x - 6x + 3
=> 2x(2x - 1) - 3(2x - 1)
=> (2x - 3)(2x - 1) ≤ 0
Our checkpoints are 3/2 and 1/2. Using wavy curve method, we get,
f(x) ≤ 0 for all x → [1/2, 3/2]
This implies θ → [sin-1(1/2), sin-1(3/2)]
θ → [pi/6, sin-1(3/2)]
To find sin-1(3/2), we see that 3/2 < pi
So sin-1(3/2) = sin-1(pi - 3/2)
= sin-1((2pi - 3)/2)
Nothing else I could think of..
Edit :
(2sinθ - 3)(2sinθ - 1) ≤ 0
Now 2sinθ - 3 will always be negative as -1 ≤ sinθ≤ 1
So to get an overall negative result, we require that :
2sinθ - 1 ≥ 0
=> sinθ ≥ 1/2
=> θ ≥ π6
How it ends in π/3 I don't know..lol.
