cos(4x)+1=3sin(2x)

Solution

cos (4 x) + 1 = 3 sin (2 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{12} + πn, x = \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

Degrees

x = 1 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (4 x) + 1 = 3 sin (2 x)

Subtract

3 sin (2 x)

from both sides

cos (4 x) + 1 - 3 sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 + cos (4 x) - 3 sin (2 x)

cos (4 x) = 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1

cos (4 x)

Rewrite as

= cos (2 \cdot 2 x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 2 cos^{2} (x) - 1

cos (2 \cdot 2 x) = 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1

= 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1

= 1 + 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1 - 3 sin (2 x)

Simplify

1 + 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1 - 3 sin (2 x) : 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 3 sin (2 x)

1 + 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1 - 3 sin (2 x)

Group like terms

= 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 3 sin (2 x) + 1 - 1

1 - 1 = 0

= 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 3 sin (2 x)

= 2 cos^{2} (2 x) - 3 sin (2 x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

cos^{2} (x) = 1 - sin^{2} (x)

= 2 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) - 3 sin (2 x)

(1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) \cdot 2 - 3 sin (2 x) = 0

Solve by substitution

(1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) \cdot 2 - 3 sin (2 x) = 0

Let:

sin (2 x) = u

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 2 - 3 u = 0

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 2 - 3 u = 0 : u = - 2, u = \frac{1}{2}

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 2 - 3 u = 0

Expand

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 2 - 3 u : 2 - 2 u^{2} - 3 u

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 2 - 3 u

= 2 (1 - u^{2}) - 3 u

Expand

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

2 (1 - u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 2, b = 1, c = u^{2}

= 2 \cdot 1 - 2 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 2 - 2 u^{2}

= 2 - 2 u^{2} - 3 u

2 - 2 u^{2} - 3 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

- 2 u^{2} - 3 u + 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} - 3 u + 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 3, c = 2

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 2}{2 ( - 2 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 2}{2 ( - 2 )}

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 2 = 5

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 2

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 3)^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 3)^{2} = 3^{2}

= 3^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 3^{2} + 16

3^{2} = 9

= 9 + 16

Add the numbers:

9 + 16 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 5}{2 ( - 2 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 5}{2 ( - 2 )} : - 2

\frac{- ( - 3 ) + 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{3 + 5}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

3 + 5 = 8

= \frac{8}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{8}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{8}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{4} = 2

= - 2

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 5}{2 ( - 2 )} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{3 - 5}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 5 = - 2

= \frac{- 2}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (2 x)

sin (2 x) = - 2, sin (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (2 x) = - 2, sin (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (2 x) = - 2 :
