r^2=a^2(sin(x)+cos(x))

Solution

r^{2} = a^{2} (sin (x) + cos (x))

Solution

x = arcsin (\frac{r ^{2}}{2 a ^{2}}) + 2 πn - \frac{π}{4}, x = π + arcsin (- \frac{r ^{2}}{2 a ^{2}}) + 2 πn - \frac{π}{4}

Solution steps

r^{2} = a^{2} (sin (x) + cos (x))

Switch sides

a^{2} (sin (x) + cos (x)) = r^{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

a^{2} (sin (x) + cos (x))

sin (x) + cos (x) = 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

sin (x) + cos (x)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (x))

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (cos (\frac{π}{4}) sin (x) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (x))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

= a^{2} 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

a^{2} 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = r^{2}

Divide both sides by

a^{2} 2; a \neq = 0

a^{2} 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = r^{2}

Divide both sides by

a^{2} 2; a \neq = 0

\frac{a ^{2} 2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{a ^{2} 2} = \frac{r ^{2}}{a ^{2} 2}; a \neq = 0

Simplify

\frac{a ^{2} 2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{a ^{2} 2} = \frac{r ^{2}}{a ^{2} 2}

Simplify

\frac{a ^{2} 2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{a ^{2} 2} : sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

\frac{a ^{2} 2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{a ^{2} 2}

Cancel the common factor:

a^{2}

= \frac{2 sin ( x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

Simplify

\frac{r ^{2}}{a ^{2} 2} : \frac{2 r ^{2}}{2 a ^{2}}

\frac{r ^{2}}{a ^{2} 2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{r ^{2} 2}{a ^{2} 2 2}

a^{2} 22 = 2 a^{2}

a^{2} 22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2 a^{2}

= \frac{2 r ^{2}}{2 a ^{2}}

sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = \frac{2 r ^{2}}{2 a ^{2}}; a \neq = 0
