2csc^2(x)+3csc(x)-2=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

csc (x) = u

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

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

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

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 2) = 5

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 3^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 3^{2} + 16

3^{2} = 9

= 9 + 16

Add the numbers:

9 + 16 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

n a^{n} = a

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 3 + 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 5 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2} : - 2

\frac{- 3 - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 3 - 5 = - 8

= \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 8}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{8}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{4} = 2

= - 2

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - 2

Substitute back

u = csc (x)

csc (x) = \frac{1}{2}, csc (x) = - 2

csc (x) = \frac{1}{2}, csc (x) = - 2

csc (x) = \frac{1}{2} :

No Solution

csc (x) = \frac{1}{2}

csc (x) \leq - 1 or csc (x) \geq 1

No Solution

csc (x) = - 2 : x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

csc (x) = - 2

x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn
