sin^2(θ)=2sin(θ)

Solution

sin^{2} (θ) = 2 sin (θ)

Solution

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin^{2} (θ) = 2 sin (θ)

Solve by substitution

sin^{2} (θ) = 2 sin (θ)

Let:

sin (θ) = u

u^{2} = 2 u

u^{2} = 2 u : u = 2, u = 0

u^{2} = 2 u

Move

2 u

to the left side

u^{2} = 2 u

Subtract

2 u

from both sides

u^{2} - 2 u = 2 u - 2 u

Simplify

u^{2} - 2 u = 0

u^{2} - 2 u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - 2 u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 2, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 2 ) \pm ( - 2 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 2 ) \pm ( - 2 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

(- 2)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 2

(- 2)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

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

= 2^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 2^{2} - 0

2^{2} - 0 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0

= 2

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- ( - 2 ) + 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{2 + 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

2 + 2 = 4

= \frac{4}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2

u = \frac{- ( - 2 ) - 2}{2 \cdot 1} : 0

\frac{- ( - 2 ) - 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{2 - 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 2 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 2, u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (θ)

sin (θ) = 2, sin (θ) = 0

sin (θ) = 2, sin (θ) = 0

sin (θ) = 2 :

No Solution

sin (θ) = 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (θ) = 0 : θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Solve

θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn
