(1+4cos(θ))^2=(sqrt(3)sin(θ))

Solution

(1 + 4 cos (θ))^{2} = (3 sin (θ))

Solution

θ = 1.49220 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2.15388 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 85.49705 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 123.40880 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

(1 + 4 cos (θ))^{2} = (3 sin (θ))

Square both sides

((1 + 4 cos (θ))^{2})^{2} = (3 sin (θ))^{2}

Subtract

(3 sin (θ))^{2}

from both sides

(1 + 4 cos (θ))^{4} - 3 sin^{2} (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

(1 + 4 cos (θ))^{4} - 3 sin^{2} (θ)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= (1 + 4 cos (θ))^{4} - 3 (1 - cos^{2} (θ))

Simplify

(1 + 4 cos (θ))^{4} - 3 (1 - cos^{2} (θ)) : 256 cos^{4} (θ) + 256 cos^{3} (θ) + 99 cos^{2} (θ) + 16 cos (θ) - 2
