cos^5(x)-sin(x)=0

Solution

cos^{5} (x) - sin (x) = 0

Solution

x = 0.51794 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 2.62364 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 29.67623 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 150.32376 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{5} (x) - sin (x) = 0

Add

sin (x)

to both sides

cos^{5} (x) = sin (x)

Square both sides

(cos^{5} (x))^{2} = sin^{2} (x)

Subtract

sin^{2} (x)

from both sides

cos^{10} (x) - sin^{2} (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos^{10} (x) - sin^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= cos^{10} (x) - (1 - cos^{2} (x))

- (1 - cos^{2} (x)) : - 1 + cos^{2} (x)

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

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

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

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

= cos^{10} (x) - 1 + cos^{2} (x)

- 1 + cos^{10} (x) + cos^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 + cos^{10} (x) + cos^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

- 1 + u^{10} + u^{2} = 0

- 1 + u^{10} + u^{2} = 0 : u = 0.75487 \dots, u = - 0.75487 \dots

- 1 + u^{10} + u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

a_{n} x^{n} + \dots + a_{1} x + a_{0} = 0

u^{10} + u^{2} - 1 = 0

Rewrite the equation with

v = u^{2}

and

v^{5} = u^{10}

v^{5} + v - 1 = 0

Solve

v^{5} + v - 1 = 0 : v \approx 0.75487 \dots

v^{5} + v - 1 = 0

cos^{5} (- arccos (- 0.75487 \dots) + 2 π 1) - sin (- arccos (- 0.75487 \dots) + 2 π 1) = 0

Refine

0 = 0

\Rightarrow True

x = arccos (0.75487 \dots) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- 0.75487 \dots) + 2 πn
