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

Solution

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

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

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

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Expand

- 4 (1 - cos^{2} (x)) : - 4 + 4 cos^{2} (x)

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 4, b = 1, c = cos^{2} (x)

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

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

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 = 4

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Group like terms

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

Add similar elements:

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

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

1 - 4 = - 3

= 8 cos (x) - 4 cos^{2} (x) - 3

= 8 cos (x) - 4 cos^{2} (x) - 3

= 8 cos (x) - 4 cos^{2} (x) - 3

- 3 - 4 cos^{2} (x) + 8 cos (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 3 - 4 cos^{2} (x) + 8 cos (x) = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

- 3 - 4 u^{2} + 8 u = 0

- 3 - 4 u^{2} + 8 u = 0 : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = \frac{3}{2}

- 3 - 4 u^{2} + 8 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 4 u^{2} + 8 u - 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 4 u^{2} + 8 u - 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 4, b = 8, c = - 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 8 ^{2} - 4 ( - 4 ) ( - 3 )}{2 ( - 4 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 8 ^{2} - 4 ( - 4 ) ( - 3 )}{2 ( - 4 )}

8^{2} - 4 (- 4) (- 3) = 4

8^{2} - 4 (- 4) (- 3)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 8^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 = 48

= 8^{2} - 48

8^{2} = 64

= 64 - 48

Subtract the numbers:

64 - 48 = 16

= 16

Factor the number:

16 = 4^{2}

= 4^{2}

Apply radical rule:

4^{2} = 4

= 4

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 4}{2 ( - 4 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 8 + 4}{2 ( - 4 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- 8 - 4}{2 ( - 4 )}

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

\frac{- 8 + 4}{2 ( - 4 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 8 + 4}{- 2 \cdot 4}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 8 + 4 = - 4

= \frac{- 4}{- 2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{- 4}{- 8}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4}{8}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 8 - 4}{2 ( - 4 )} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{- 8 - 4}{2 ( - 4 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 8 - 4}{- 2 \cdot 4}

Subtract the numbers:

- 8 - 4 = - 12

= \frac{- 12}{- 2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{- 12}{- 8}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{12}{8}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{3}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{1}{2}, u = \frac{3}{2}

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}, cos (x) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}, cos (x) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

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