1-cos^2(x)=3sin(x)-2

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

3 sin (x) - 2

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

3 - cos^{2} (x) - 3 sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

3 - (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 3 sin (x) : sin^{2} (x) - 3 sin (x) + 2

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

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

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

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (x) - 3 sin (x) + 2

= sin^{2} (x) - 3 sin (x) + 2

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

2 + u^{2} - 3 u = 0 : u = 2, u = 1

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

Write in the standard form

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 3, c = 2

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

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

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 1

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

= 3^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 8

= 3^{2} - 8

3^{2} = 9

= 9 - 8

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 8 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

3 + 1 = 4

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2

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

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 2, u = 1

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = 2, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = 2, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = 2 :

No Solution

sin (x) = 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1
