117.72sin(θ)-35.316cos(θ)-12.5=0

Solution

117.72 sin (θ) - 35.316 cos (θ) - 12.5 = 0

Solution

θ = 0.39333 \dots + 2 πn, θ = π + 0.18957 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 22.53666 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 190.86182 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

117.72 sin (θ) - 35.316 cos (θ) - 12.5 = 0

Add

35.316 cos (θ)

to both sides

117.72 sin (θ) - 12.5 = 35.316 cos (θ)

Square both sides

(117.72 sin (θ) - 12.5)^{2} = (35.316 cos (θ))^{2}

Subtract

(35.316 cos (θ))^{2}

from both sides

(117.72 sin (θ) - 12.5)^{2} - 1247.219856 cos^{2} (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

(- 12.5 + 117.72 sin (θ))^{2} - 1247.219856 cos^{2} (θ)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= (- 12.5 + 117.72 sin (θ))^{2} - 1247.219856 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Simplify

(- 12.5 + 117.72 sin (θ))^{2} - 1247.219856 (1 - sin^{2} (θ)) : 15105.218256 sin^{2} (θ) - 2943 sin (θ) - 1090.969856

(- 12.5 + 117.72 sin (θ))^{2} - 1247.219856 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

(- 12.5 + 117.72 sin (θ))^{2} : 156.25 - 2943 sin (θ) + 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a + b)^{2} = a^{2} + 2 ab + b^{2}

a = - 12.5, b = 117.72 sin (θ)

= (- 12.5)^{2} + 2 (- 12.5) \cdot 117.72 sin (θ) + (117.72 sin (θ))^{2}

Simplify

(- 12.5)^{2} + 2 (- 12.5) \cdot 117.72 sin (θ) + (117.72 sin (θ))^{2} : 156.25 - 2943 sin (θ) + 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

(- 12.5)^{2} + 2 (- 12.5) \cdot 117.72 sin (θ) + (117.72 sin (θ))^{2}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= (- 12.5)^{2} - 2 \cdot 12.5 \cdot 117.72 sin (θ) + (117.72 sin (θ))^{2}

(- 12.5)^{2} = 156.25

(- 12.5)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 12.5)^{2} = 12. 5^{2}

= 12. 5^{2}

12. 5^{2} = 156.25

= 156.25

2 \cdot 12.5 \cdot 117.72 sin (θ) = 2943 sin (θ)

2 \cdot 12.5 \cdot 117.72 sin (θ)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 12.5 \cdot 117.72 = 2943

= 2943 sin (θ)

(117.72 sin (θ))^{2} = 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

(117.72 sin (θ))^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

= 117.7 2^{2} sin^{2} (θ)

117.7 2^{2} = 13857.9984

= 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

= 156.25 - 2943 sin (θ) + 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

= 156.25 - 2943 sin (θ) + 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ)

= 156.25 - 2943 sin (θ) + 13857.9984 sin^{2} (θ) - 1247.219856 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Expand

- 1247.219856 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 1247.219856, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (θ)

= - 1247.219856 \cdot 1 - (- 1247.219856) sin^{2} (θ)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 1 \cdot 1247.219856 + 1247.219856 sin^{2} (θ)

Multiply the numbers:
