Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 cos^{2} (\frac{180 x + 774 0 ^{\circ}}{180}) + 3 sin (\frac{180 x + 774 0 ^{\circ}}{180})

Use the Pythagorean identity:

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 ( - 2 )}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 ( - 2 )}{2 \cdot 2}

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 2) = 5

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 2)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 3^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 3^{2} + 16

3^{2} = 9

= 9 + 16

Add the numbers:

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 5 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

u = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2} : - 2

\frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 3 - 5 = - 8

= \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 8}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{8}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{4} = 2

= - 2
