How are you supposed to go about solving equations such as:
$$-\sqrt{3} = \frac{\sin{4\theta}}{\sin{7\theta}}.$$
I know that $\theta = 30^{\circ}$ is one such solution, but how do I find all solutions using algebra?
Thanks
Edit: I figured out one possible method of reasoning. For $-\sqrt{3} = \frac{\sin{4\theta}}{\sin{7\theta}}$ to be true, taking the "special values" of the $\sin$ function on the unit circle, one way to achieve the value of $-\sqrt{3}$ is to have either $$\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}$$ or $$\frac{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}.$$ Solving for the first case, to achieve a negative value in the denominator, $0\leq\theta\leq\frac{\pi}{4}$ (since you want $4\theta\leq180^{\circ}$ and $\sin{7\theta}\lt0$). Then the only value for $\sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ in the first quadrant is $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$.
Using similar reasoning, you can deduce a symmetrical value in the case where the numerator is negative. This method to me, however, feels unprofessional and "weak." So again, is there a more definitive, algebraic solution?
