Solution steps
8sin2(w)+10sin(w)+3=0
Solve by substitution
8sin2(w)+10sin(w)+3=0
Let: sin(w)=u8u2+10u+3=0
8u2+10u+3=0:u=−21​,u=−43​
8u2+10u+3=0
Solve with the quadratic formula
8u2+10u+3=0
Quadratic Equation Formula:
For a=8,b=10,c=3u1,2​=2⋅8−10±102−4⋅8⋅3​​
u1,2​=2⋅8−10±102−4⋅8⋅3​​
102−4⋅8⋅3​=2
102−4⋅8⋅3​
Multiply the numbers: 4⋅8⋅3=96=102−96​
102=100=100−96​
Subtract the numbers: 100−96=4=4​
Factor the number: 4=22=22​
Apply radical rule: nan​=a22​=2=2
u1,2​=2⋅8−10±2​
Separate the solutionsu1​=2⋅8−10+2​,u2​=2⋅8−10−2​
u=2⋅8−10+2​:−21​
2⋅8−10+2​
Add/Subtract the numbers: −10+2=−8=2⋅8−8​
Multiply the numbers: 2⋅8=16=16−8​
Apply the fraction rule: b−a​=−ba​=−168​
Cancel the common factor: 8=−21​
u=2⋅8−10−2​:−43​
2⋅8−10−2​
Subtract the numbers: −10−2=−12=2⋅8−12​
Multiply the numbers: 2⋅8=16=16−12​
Apply the fraction rule: b−a​=−ba​=−1612​
Cancel the common factor: 4=−43​
The solutions to the quadratic equation are:u=−21​,u=−43​
Substitute back u=sin(w)sin(w)=−21​,sin(w)=−43​
sin(w)=−21​,sin(w)=−43​
sin(w)=−21​:w=67π​+2πn,w=611π​+2πn
sin(w)=−21​
