4sin^4(x)-4sin^2(x)+1=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 22 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 31 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

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

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

Rewrite the equation with

v = u^{2}

and

v^{2} = u^{4}

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

Solve

4 v^{2} - 4 v + 1 = 0 : v = \frac{1}{2}

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

v_{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

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

v = \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}

v = \frac{1}{2}

The solution to the quadratic equation is:

v = \frac{1}{2}

v = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

v = u^{2},

solve for

u

Solve

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

u^{2} = \frac{1}{2}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

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

The solutions are

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn

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