4sin^2(x)-4sin(x)=-1

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

4 u^{2} - 4 u = - 1

4 u^{2} - 4 u = - 1 : u = \frac{1}{2}

4 u^{2} - 4 u = - 1

Move

1

to the left side

4 u^{2} - 4 u = - 1

Add

1

to both sides

4 u^{2} - 4 u + 1 = - 1 + 1

Simplify

4 u^{2} - 4 u + 1 = 0

4 u^{2} - 4 u + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

4 u^{2} - 4 u + 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 4, b = - 4, c = 1

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

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 4 \cdot 1 = 16

= 4^{2} - 16

4^{2} = 16

= 16 - 16

Subtract the numbers:

16 - 16 = 0

= 0

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

u = \frac{- ( - 4 )}{2 \cdot 4}

\frac{- ( - 4 )}{2 \cdot 4} = \frac{1}{2}

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{4}{8}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{1}{2}

The solution to the quadratic equation is:

u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

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

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn
