12cos^2(x)-6sin(x)-6=0[360]

Solution

12 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) - 6 = 0 [360]

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

12 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) - 6 = 0 \cdot [360]

Subtract

0 [360]

from both sides

12 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) - 6 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 6 + 12 cos^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 6 + 12 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 6 sin (x)

Simplify

- 6 + 12 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 6 sin (x) : - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) + 6

- 6 + 12 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 6 sin (x)

Expand

12 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : 12 - 12 sin^{2} (x)

12 (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 12, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= 12 \cdot 1 - 12 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

12 \cdot 1 = 12

= 12 - 12 sin^{2} (x)

= - 6 + 12 - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x)

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 6 + 12 = 6

= - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) + 6

= - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) + 6

6 - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

6 - 12 sin^{2} (x) - 6 sin (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

6 - 12 u^{2} - 6 u = 0

6 - 12 u^{2} - 6 u = 0 : u = - 1, u = \frac{1}{2}

6 - 12 u^{2} - 6 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 12 u^{2} - 6 u + 6 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 12 u^{2} - 6 u + 6 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 12, b = - 6, c = 6

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) \pm ( - 6 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 12 ) \cdot 6}{2 ( - 12 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) \pm ( - 6 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 12 ) \cdot 6}{2 ( - 12 )}

(- 6)^{2} - 4 (- 12) \cdot 6 = 18

(- 6)^{2} - 4 (- 12) \cdot 6

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 6)^{2} + 4 \cdot 12 \cdot 6

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 6)^{2} = 6^{2}

= 6^{2} + 4 \cdot 12 \cdot 6

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 12 \cdot 6 = 288

= 6^{2} + 288

6^{2} = 36

= 36 + 288

Add the numbers:

36 + 288 = 324

= 324

Factor the number:

324 = 1 8^{2}

= 1 8^{2}

Apply radical rule:

1 8^{2} = 18

= 18

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) \pm 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) + 18}{2 ( - 12 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 6 ) - 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 6 ) + 18}{2 ( - 12 )} : - 1

\frac{- ( - 6 ) + 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{6 + 18}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Add the numbers:

6 + 18 = 24

= \frac{24}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 12 = 24

= \frac{24}{- 24}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{24}{24}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

u = \frac{- ( - 6 ) - 18}{2 ( - 12 )} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 6 ) - 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{6 - 18}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Subtract the numbers:

6 - 18 = - 12

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 12 = 24

= \frac{- 12}{- 24}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{12}{24}

Cancel the common factor:

12

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1
