-2sin^2(x)-5sin(x)=-3

Solution

- 2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) = - 3

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- 2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) = - 3

Solve by substitution

- 2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) = - 3

Let:

sin (x) = u

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u = - 3

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u = - 3 : u = - 3, u = \frac{1}{2}

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u = - 3

Move

3

to the left side

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u = - 3

Add

3

to both sides

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u + 3 = - 3 + 3

Simplify

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u + 3 = 0

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 5, c = 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

(- 5)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 3 = 7

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 5)^{2} = 5^{2}

= 5^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 24

= 5^{2} + 24

5^{2} = 25

= 25 + 24

Add the numbers:

25 + 24 = 49

= 49

Factor the number:

49 = 7^{2}

= 7^{2}

Apply radical rule:

7^{2} = 7

= 7

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm 7}{2 ( - 2 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 7}{2 ( - 2 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 7}{2 ( - 2 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 7}{2 ( - 2 )} : - 3

\frac{- ( - 5 ) + 7}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{5 + 7}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

5 + 7 = 12

= \frac{12}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{12}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{12}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{12}{4} = 3

= - 3

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 7}{2 ( - 2 )} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 5 ) - 7}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{5 - 7}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 7 = - 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 3, u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 3, sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = - 3, sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = - 3 :

No Solution

sin (x) = - 3

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn
