2sin(2x)=sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)

Solution

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

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

Subtract

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

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= 2 sin (2 x) - 1

2 sin (2 x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 sin (2 x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin (2 x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 sin (2 x) = 1

2 sin (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

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

Simplify

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