2sin^2(θ)=cos^2(θ)

Solution

2 sin^{2} (θ) = cos^{2} (θ)

Solution

θ = - 0.61547 \dots + πn, θ = 0.61547 \dots + πn

Degrees

θ = - 35.26438 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 35.26438 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin^{2} (θ) = cos^{2} (θ)

Subtract

cos^{2} (θ)

from both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ) = 0

Factor

2 sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ) : (2 sin (θ) + cos (θ)) (2 sin (θ) - cos (θ))

2 sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ)

Rewrite

2 sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ)

(2 sin (θ))^{2} - cos^{2} (θ)

2 sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

= (2)^{2} sin^{2} (θ) - cos^{2} (θ)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(2)^{2} sin^{2} (θ) = (2 sin (θ))^{2}

= (2 sin (θ))^{2} - cos^{2} (θ)

= (2 sin (θ))^{2} - cos^{2} (θ)

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

(2 sin (θ))^{2} - cos^{2} (θ) = (2 sin (θ) + cos (θ)) (2 sin (θ) - cos (θ))

= (2 sin (θ) + cos (θ)) (2 sin (θ) - cos (θ))

(2 sin (θ) + cos (θ)) (2 sin (θ) - cos (θ)) = 0

Solving each part separately

2 sin (θ) + cos (θ) = 0 or 2 sin (θ) - cos (θ) = 0

2 sin (θ) + cos (θ) = 0 : θ = arctan (- \frac{2}{2}) + πn

2 sin (θ) + cos (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

2 sin (θ) + cos (θ) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (θ), cos (θ) \neq = 0

\frac{2 sin ( θ ) + cos ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} = \frac{0}{cos ( θ )}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} + 1 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

2 tan (θ) + 1 = 0

2 tan (θ) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 tan (θ) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

2 tan (θ) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 tan (θ) = - 1

2 tan (θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 tan (θ) = - 1

Divide both sides by
