sin(x)-sqrt(1-3sin^2(x))=0

Solution

sin (x) - 1 - 3 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (x) - 1 - 3 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

sin (x) - 1 - 3 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} = 0

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} = 0 : u = \frac{1}{2}

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} = 0

Remove square roots

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} = 0

Subtract

u

from both sides

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} - u = 0 - u

Simplify

- 1 - 3 u^{2} = - u

Square both sides:

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

u - 1 - 3 u^{2} = 0

(- 1 - 3 u^{2})^{2} = (- u)^{2}

Expand

(- 1 - 3 u^{2})^{2} : 1 - 3 u^{2}

(- 1 - 3 u^{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 1 - 3 u^{2})^{2} = (1 - 3 u^{2})^{2}

= (1 - 3 u^{2})^{2}

Apply radical rule:

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

= ((1 - 3 u^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= (1 - 3 u^{2})^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

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

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 1 - 3 u^{2}

Expand

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

(- u)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

= u^{2}

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Solve

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2} : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{1}{2}

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Move

1

to the right side

1 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 - 3 u^{2} - 1 = u^{2} - 1

Simplify

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 1

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 1

Move

u^{2}

to the left side

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 1

Subtract

u^{2}

from both sides

- 3 u^{2} - u^{2} = u^{2} - 1 - u^{2}

Simplify

- 4 u^{2} = - 1

- 4 u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 4

\frac{- 4 u ^{2}}{- 4} = \frac{- 1}{- 4}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = \frac{1}{4}, u = - \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
