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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π + 12 πn}{12}, x = \frac{5 π + 12 πn}{12}, x = πn, x = \frac{π + 2 πn}{2}

Degrees

x = 1 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

sin (2 x)

from both sides

1 - cos (4 x) - sin (2 x) = 0

Let:

u = 2 x

1 - cos (2 u) - sin (u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - cos (2 u) - sin (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= 1 - (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) - sin (u)

Simplify

1 - (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) - sin (u) : 2 sin^{2} (u) - sin (u)

1 - (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) - sin (u)

- (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) : - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u)

- (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u))

Distribute parentheses

= - (1) - (- 2 sin^{2} (u))

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u)

= 1 - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u) - sin (u)

1 - 1 = 0

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

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

- sin (u) + 2 sin^{2} (u) = 0

Solve by substitution

- sin (u) + 2 sin^{2} (u) = 0

Let:

sin (u) = u

- u + 2 u^{2} = 0

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

- u + 2 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

2 u^{2} - u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} - u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

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

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

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

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0 = 0

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

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

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 1 = 0

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{0}{4}

Apply rule

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

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{1}{2}, u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (u)

sin (u) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 0

sin (u) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 0

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

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