1-2cos^2(8x)=sin(4x)

Solution

1 - 2 cos^{2} (8 x) = sin (4 x)

Solution

x = \frac{3 π + 4 πn}{8}, x = \frac{π + 12 πn}{24}, x = \frac{5 π + 12 πn}{24}, x = \frac{0.94247 \dots + 2 πn}{4}, x = \frac{π - 0.94247 \dots + 2 πn}{4}, x = \frac{- 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn}{4}, x = \frac{π + 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn}{4}

Degrees

x = 67. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 7. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 37. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 13. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 31. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = - 4. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 49. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

1 - 2 cos^{2} (8 x) = sin (4 x)

Subtract

sin (4 x)

from both sides

1 - 2 cos^{2} (8 x) - sin (4 x) = 0

Let:

u = 4 x

1 - 2 cos^{2} (2 u) - sin (u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - sin (u) - 2 cos^{2} (2 u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

Simplify

1 - sin (u) - 2 (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u))^{2} : 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) - sin (u) - 1

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

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (u))^{2} : 1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 ab + b^{2}

a = 1, b = 2 sin^{2} (u)

= 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u) + (2 sin^{2} (u))^{2}

Simplify

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u) + (2 sin^{2} (u))^{2} : 1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u)

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u) + (2 sin^{2} (u))^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u) + (2 sin^{2} (u))^{2}

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u) = 4 sin^{2} (u)

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 sin^{2} (u)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 4

= 4 sin^{2} (u)

(2 sin^{2} (u))^{2} = 4 sin^{4} (u)

(2 sin^{2} (u))^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

= 2^{2} (sin^{2} (u))^{2}

(sin^{2} (u))^{2} : sin^{4} (u)

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= sin^{2 \cdot 2} (u)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= sin^{4} (u)

= 2^{2} sin^{4} (u)

2^{2} = 4

= 4 sin^{4} (u)

= 1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u)

= 1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u)

= 1 - sin (u) - 2 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u))

Expand

- 2 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u)) : - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

- 2 (1 - 4 sin^{2} (u) + 4 sin^{4} (u))

Distribute parentheses

= (- 2) \cdot 1 + (- 2) (- 4 sin^{2} (u)) + (- 2) \cdot 4 sin^{4} (u)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a, (- a) (- b) = ab

= - 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (u) - 2 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (u)

Simplify

- 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (u) - 2 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (u) : - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

- 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot 4 sin^{2} (u) - 2 \cdot 4 sin^{4} (u)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

= - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

= 1 - sin (u) - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

Simplify

1 - sin (u) - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) : 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) - sin (u) - 1

1 - sin (u) - 2 + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u)

Group like terms

= - sin (u) + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) + 1 - 2

Add/Subtract the numbers:

1 - 2 = - 1

= 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) - sin (u) - 1

= 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) - sin (u) - 1

= 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) - sin (u) - 1

- 1 - sin (u) + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 - sin (u) + 8 sin^{2} (u) - 8 sin^{4} (u) = 0

Let:

sin (u) = u

- 1 - u + 8 u^{2} - 8 u^{4} = 0

- 1 - u + 8 u^{2} - 8 u^{4} = 0 : u = - 1, u = \frac{1}{2}, u = \frac{1 + 5}{4}, u = \frac{1 - 5}{4}

- 1 - u + 8 u^{2} - 8 u^{4} = 0

Write in the standard form

a_{n} x^{n} + \dots + a_{1} x + a_{0} = 0

- 8 u^{4} + 8 u^{2} - u - 1 = 0

Factor

- 8 u^{4} + 8 u^{2} - u - 1 : - (u + 1) (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1)

- 8 u^{4} + 8 u^{2} - u - 1

Factor out common term

Use the rational root theorem

a_{0} = 1, a_{n} = 8

The dividers of

a_{0} : 1,

Therefore, check the following rational numbers:

\pm \frac{1}{1 , 2 , 4 , 8}

- \frac{1}{1}

is a root of the expression, so factor out

u + 1

= (u + 1) \frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1}

\frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} = 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

\frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1}

Divide

\frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} : \frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} = 8 u^{3} + \frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

8 u^{4} - 8 u^{2} + u + 1

and the divisor

u + 1 : \frac{8 u ^{4}}{u} = 8 u^{3}

Quotient = 8 u^{3}

Multiply

u + 1

8 u^{3} : 8 u^{4} + 8 u^{3}

Subtract

8 u^{4} + 8 u^{3}

from

8 u^{4} - 8 u^{2} + u + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = - 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + u + 1

Therefore

\frac{8 u ^{4} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} = 8 u^{3} + \frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1}

= 8 u^{3} + \frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1}

Divide

\frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} : \frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} = - 8 u^{2} + \frac{u + 1}{u + 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

- 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + u + 1

and the divisor

Subtract

- 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2}

from

- 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + u + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = u + 1

Therefore

\frac{- 8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + u + 1}{u + 1} = - 8 u^{2} + \frac{u + 1}{u + 1}

= 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + \frac{u + 1}{u + 1}

Divide

\frac{u + 1}{u + 1} : \frac{u + 1}{u + 1} = 1

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

u + 1

and the divisor

u + 1 : \frac{u}{u} = 1

Quotient = 1

Multiply

u + 1

1 : u + 1

Subtract

u + 1

from

u + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = 0

Therefore

\frac{u + 1}{u + 1} = 1

= 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

= 8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

Factor

8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1 : (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1)

8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

Use the rational root theorem

a_{0} = 1, a_{n} = 8

The dividers of

a_{0} : 1,

The dividers of

a_{n} : 1, 2, 4, 8

Therefore, check the following rational numbers:

\pm \frac{1}{1 , 2 , 4 , 8}

\frac{1}{2}

is a root of the expression, so factor out

2 u - 1

= (2 u - 1) \frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1}

\frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} = 4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1

\frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1}

Divide

\frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} : \frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} = 4 u^{2} + \frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

and the divisor

2 u - 1 : \frac{8 u ^{3}}{2 u} = 4 u^{2}

Quotient = 4 u^{2}

Multiply

2 u - 1

4 u^{2} : 8 u^{3} - 4 u^{2}

Subtract

8 u^{3} - 4 u^{2}

from

8 u^{3} - 8 u^{2} + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = - 4 u^{2} + 1

Therefore

\frac{8 u ^{3} - 8 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} = 4 u^{2} + \frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1}

= 4 u^{2} + \frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1}

Divide

\frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} : \frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} = - 2 u + \frac{- 2 u + 1}{2 u - 1}

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

- 4 u^{2} + 1

and the divisor

2 u - 1 : \frac{- 4 u ^{2}}{2 u} = - 2 u

Quotient = - 2 u

Multiply

2 u - 1

- 2 u : - 4 u^{2} + 2 u

Subtract

- 4 u^{2} + 2 u

from

- 4 u^{2} + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = - 2 u + 1

Therefore

\frac{- 4 u ^{2} + 1}{2 u - 1} = - 2 u + \frac{- 2 u + 1}{2 u - 1}

= 4 u^{2} - 2 u + \frac{- 2 u + 1}{2 u - 1}

Divide

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

Divide the leading coefficients of the numerator

- 2 u + 1

and the divisor

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

Quotient = - 1

Multiply

2 u - 1

- 1 : - 2 u + 1

Subtract

- 2 u + 1

from

- 2 u + 1

to get new remainder

Remainder = 0

Therefore

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

= 4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1

= 4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1

= (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1)

= (u + 1) (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1)

= - (u + 1) (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1)

- (u + 1) (2 u - 1) (4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle:

ab = 0

then

a = 0

b = 0

u + 1 = 0 or 2 u - 1 = 0 or 4 u^{2} - 2 u - 1 = 0

Solve

u + 1 = 0 : u = - 1

u + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

u + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

u = - 1

u = - 1

Solve

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

2 u - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 u - 1 = 0

Add

1

to 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
