sin^2(x)+1/2*sin(x)>0

Solution

sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot sin (x) > 0

Solution

2 πn < x < π + 2 πn or - \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < - \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

Interval Notation

(2 πn, π + 2 πn) \cup (- \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, - \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn)

Decimal

2 πn < x < 3.14159 \dots + 2 πn or - 2.61799 \dots + 2 πn < x < - 0.52359 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (x) > 0

Let:

u = sin (x)

u^{2} + \frac{1}{2} u > 0

u^{2} + \frac{1}{2} u > 0 : u < - \frac{1}{2} or u > 0

u^{2} + \frac{1}{2} u > 0

Rewrite in standard form

u^{2} + \frac{1}{2} u > 0

Multiply both sides by

2

u^{2} \cdot 2 + \frac{1}{2} u \cdot 2 > 0 \cdot 2

2 u^{2} + u > 0

2 u^{2} + u > 0

Factor

2 u^{2} + u : u (2 u + 1)

2 u^{2} + u

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

u^{2} = uu

= 2 uu + u

Factor out common term

u

= u (2 u + 1)

u (2 u + 1) > 0

Identify the intervals

Find the signs of the factors of

u (2 u + 1)

Find the signs of

u

u = 0

u < 0

u > 0

Find the signs of

2 u + 1

2 u + 1 = 0 : u = - \frac{1}{2}

2 u + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 u + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

2 u + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 u = - 1

2 u = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

u = - \frac{1}{2}

u = - \frac{1}{2}

2 u + 1 < 0 : u < - \frac{1}{2}

2 u + 1 < 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 u + 1 < 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

2 u + 1 - 1 < 0 - 1

Simplify

2 u < - 1

2 u < - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u < - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u}{2} < \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

u < - \frac{1}{2}

u < - \frac{1}{2}

2 u + 1 > 0 : u > - \frac{1}{2}

2 u + 1 > 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 u + 1 > 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

2 u + 1 - 1 > 0 - 1

Simplify

2 u > - 1

2 u > - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u > - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u}{2} > \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

u > - \frac{1}{2}

u > - \frac{1}{2}

Summarize in a table:

u 2 u + 1 u (2 u + 1) u < - \frac{1}{2} - - + u = - \frac{1}{2} - 00 - \frac{1}{2} < u < 0 - + - u = 0 0 + 0 u > 0 + + +

Identify the intervals that satisfy the required condition:

> 0

u < - \frac{1}{2} or u > 0

u < - \frac{1}{2} or u > 0

u < - \frac{1}{2} or u > 0

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) < - \frac{1}{2} or sin (x) > 0

sin (x) < - \frac{1}{2} : - \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn < x < - \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn

- π - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

Use the following property:

arcsin (- x) = - arcsin (x)

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= - π + \frac{π}{6}

Convert element to fraction:

π = \frac{π 6}{6}

= - \frac{π 6}{6} + \frac{π}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- π 6 + π}{6}

Add similar elements:

- 6 π + π = - 5 π

= \frac{- 5 π}{6}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}
