This is why the calculator is adding the extra terms.In summary, the conversation is discussing the equation e^x = k/c * sin^2(y) and solving for t. The person initially thought the solution was t=arcsin(sqrt(ce^x/k)), but their calculator is giving a different answer with additional terms. The person questions whether y should be t instead or if y is a function of t. The other person explains that y can take on multiple values due to the periodic nature of sine, resulting in the calculator's answer.

[tex] e^x = \frac {k}{c}sin^2(y) [/tex] solving for t

i thought it was [tex] t=arcsin(\sqrt{\frac{ce^x}{k}}) [/tex]

but my calc is saying like the answer above + ln4*pi + pi.

er, where is there a "t" in your expression? do you mean t instead of y? or is y a function of t? if the y is supposed to be a t, you are most certainly right, otherwise, we are missing information

is a solution buy sine is a periodic function so there are other values of y that will give the same value.
