4sin^2(x)=8sin^2(x/2)

Solution

4 sin^{2} (x) = 8 sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

Solution

x = 4 πn, x = 2 π + 4 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 4 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{2} + 4 πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + 4 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{2} + 4 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 36 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 45 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 63 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 sin^{2} (x) = 8 sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

Subtract

8 sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

from both sides

4 sin^{2} (x) - 8 sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) = 0

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

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

Factor

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

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

Rewrite

- 8

2 \cdot 4

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

Factor out common term

4

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

Factor

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

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

Rewrite

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

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

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

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

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

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

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

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

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

= (sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u)) (sin (2 u) - 2 sin (u))

= 4 (sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u)) (sin (2 u) - 2 sin (u))

4 (sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u)) (sin (2 u) - 2 sin (u)) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u) = 0 or sin (2 u) - 2 sin (u) = 0

sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u) = 0 : u = 2 πn, u = π + 2 πn, u = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, u = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn

sin (2 u) + 2 sin (u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (2 u) + sin (u) 2

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= 2 sin (u) cos (u) + 2 sin (u)

sin (u) 2 + 2 cos (u) sin (u) = 0

Factor

sin (u) 2 + 2 cos (u) sin (u) : sin (u) (2 + 2 cos (u))

sin (u) 2 + 2 cos (u) sin (u)

Factor out common term

sin (u)

= sin (u) (2 + 2 cos (u))
