1+cos(2x)=2sin^2(x)

Solution

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

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

2 sin^{2} (x)

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= cos (2 x) + cos (2 x)

Simplify

= 2 cos (2 x)

2 cos (2 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (2 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( 2 x )}{2} = \frac{0}{2}

Simplify

cos (2 x) = 0

cos (2 x) = 0

Solve

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{π}{4}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Solve

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn
