What is confusing $b$ with the period?
Show answer
Period is $2\pi/b$, not $b$.
What is forgetting to expand the interval?
Show answer
When solving $\sin(2x) = c$ for $x \in [0, 2\pi]$, you must find all solutions for $2x$ in $[0, 4\pi]$ before dividing by $2$.
What is missing solutions outside the principal range?
Show answer
$\sin$ and $\cos$ are periodic; there are infinitely many solutions, but only those in the stated interval count.
