5cos^2(x)=6sin(x)

Solution

5 cos^{2} (x) = 6 sin (x)

Solution

x = 0.60187 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.60187 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 34.48499 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 145.51500 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

5 cos^{2} (x) = 6 sin (x)

Subtract

6 sin (x)

from both sides

5 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

5 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= 5 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 6 sin (x)

(1 - sin^{2} (x)) \cdot 5 - 6 sin (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

(1 - sin^{2} (x)) \cdot 5 - 6 sin (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 5 - 6 u = 0

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 5 - 6 u = 0 : u = - \frac{3 + 34}{5}, u = \frac{34 - 3}{5}

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 5 - 6 u = 0

Expand

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 5 - 6 u : 5 - 5 u^{2} - 6 u

(1 - u^{2}) \cdot 5 - 6 u

= 5 (1 - u^{2}) - 6 u

Expand

5 (1 - u^{2}) : 5 - 5 u^{2}

5 (1 - u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 5, b = 1, c = u^{2}

= 5 \cdot 1 - 5 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 1 = 5

= 5 - 5 u^{2}

= 5 - 5 u^{2} - 6 u

5 - 5 u^{2} - 6 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

- 5 u^{2} - 6 u + 5 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 5 u^{2} - 6 u + 5 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 5, b = - 6, c = 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) \pm ( - 6 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 5 ) \cdot 5}{2 ( - 5 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) \pm ( - 6 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 5 ) \cdot 5}{2 ( - 5 )}

(- 6)^{2} - 4 (- 5) \cdot 5 = 234

(- 6)^{2} - 4 (- 5) \cdot 5

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 6)^{2} + 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 5

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 6)^{2} = 6^{2}

= 6^{2} + 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 5

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 100

= 6^{2} + 100

6^{2} = 36

= 36 + 100

Add the numbers:

36 + 100 = 136

= 136

Prime factorization of

136 : 2^{3} \cdot 17

136

divides by

2136 = 68 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 68

68

divides by

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 34

34

divides by

234 = 17 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 17

2, 17

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 17

= 2^{3} \cdot 17

= 2^{3} \cdot 17

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} \cdot a^{c}

= 2^{2} \cdot 2 \cdot 17

Apply radical rule:

= 2^{2} 2 \cdot 17

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2 2 \cdot 17
