16sin^2(θ)=12

Solution

16 sin^{2} (θ) = 12

Solution

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

Degrees

θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

16 sin^{2} (θ) = 12

Solve by substitution

16 sin^{2} (θ) = 12

Let:

sin (θ) = u

16 u^{2} = 12

16 u^{2} = 12 : u = \frac{3}{2}, u = - \frac{3}{2}

16 u^{2} = 12

Divide both sides by

16

16 u^{2} = 12

Divide both sides by

16

\frac{16 u ^{2}}{16} = \frac{12}{16}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{3}{4}, u = - \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{3}{4}

4 = 2

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{3}{2}

- \frac{3}{4} = - \frac{3}{2}

- \frac{3}{4}

Simplify

\frac{3}{4} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{3}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{3}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{3}{2}

= - \frac{3}{2}

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

Substitute back

u = sin (θ)

sin (θ) = \frac{3}{2}, sin (θ) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (θ) = \frac{3}{2}, sin (θ) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (θ) = \frac{3}{2} : θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

sin (θ) = \frac{3}{2}
