(sin(x))^{(sin(x))}= 1/(sqrt(2))

Solution

(sin (x))^{(s i n (x))} = \frac{1}{2}

Solution

x = 0.25268 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.25268 \dots + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 14.47751 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 165.52248 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

(sin (x))^{(s i n (x))} = \frac{1}{2}

Subtract

\frac{1}{2}

from both sides

sin^{s i n (x)} (x) - \frac{1}{2} = 0

Simplify

sin^{s i n (x)} (x) - \frac{1}{2} : \frac{2 sin ^{s i n (x)} ( x ) - 1}{2}

sin^{s i n (x)} (x) - \frac{1}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

sin^{s i n (x)} (x) = \frac{sin ^{s i n (x)} ( x ) 2}{2}

= \frac{sin ^{s i n (x)} ( x ) 2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{sin ^{s i n (x)} ( x ) 2 - 1}{2}

\frac{2 sin ^{s i n (x)} ( x ) - 1}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

2 sin^{s i n (x)} (x) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + sin^{s i n (x)} (x) 2

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sin (x) = \frac{1}{csc ( x )}

= - 1 + (\frac{1}{csc ( x )})^{\frac{1}{c s c ( x )}} 2

- 1 + (\frac{1}{csc ( x )})^{\frac{1}{c s c ( x )}} 2 = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 + (\frac{1}{csc ( x )})^{\frac{1}{c s c ( x )}} 2 = 0

Let:

csc (x) = u

- 1 + (\frac{1}{u})^{\frac{1}{u}} 2 = 0

- 1 + (\frac{1}{u})^{\frac{1}{u}} 2 = 0 : u = 4, u = 2

- 1 + (\frac{1}{u})^{\frac{1}{u}} 2 = 0

Apply exponent rules

- 1 + (\frac{1}{u})^{\frac{1}{u}} 2 = 0

Apply exponent rule:

f (x)^{g (x)} = e^{g (x) l n (f (x))}

(\frac{1}{u})^{\frac{1}{u}} = e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})}

- 1 + e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} 2 = 0

- 1 + e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} 2 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} 2 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 e ^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = \frac{1}{2}

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = \frac{2}{2}

Apply exponent rules

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = \frac{2}{2}

Convert to base

2 : e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = 2^{\frac{- 1}{2}}

Simplify

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = 2^{\frac{- 1}{2}}

e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})} = 2^{\frac{- 1}{2}}

f (x) = g (x)

, then

ln (f (x)) = ln (g (x))

ln (e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})}) = ln (2^{\frac{- 1}{2}})

Apply log rule:

ln (e^{a}) = a

ln (e^{\frac{1}{u} l n (\frac{1}{u})}) = \frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u})

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = ln (2^{\frac{- 1}{2}})

Apply log rule:

ln (x^{a}) = a \cdot ln (x)

ln (2^{\frac{- 1}{2}}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2)

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2)

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2)

Solve

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2) : u = 4, u = 2

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2)

Multiply both sides by

u

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2)

Multiply both sides by

u

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) u = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2) u

Simplify

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) u = \frac{- 1}{2} ln (2) u

Simplify

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) u : ln (\frac{1}{u})

\frac{1}{u} ln (\frac{1}{u}) u

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot ln ( \frac{1}{u} ) u}{u}

Cancel the common factor:

u

= 1 \cdot ln (\frac{1}{u})

Multiply:

1 \cdot ln (\frac{1}{u}) = ln (\frac{1}{u})

= ln (\frac{1}{u})

Simplify

\frac{- 1}{2} ln (2) u : - \frac{1}{2} u ln (2)

\frac{- 1}{2} ln (2) u

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{1}{2} u ln (2)

ln (\frac{1}{u}) = - \frac{1}{2} u ln (2)

ln (\frac{1}{u}) = - \frac{1}{2} u ln (2)

ln (\frac{1}{u}) = - \frac{1}{2} u ln (2)

f (x) = g (x),

then

a^{f (x)} = a^{g (x)}

e^{l n (\frac{1}{u})} = e^{- \frac{1}{2} u l n (2)}

Simplify

e^{l n (\frac{1}{u})} : \frac{1}{u}

e^{l n (\frac{1}{u})}

Apply log rule:

a^{l o g_{a} (b)} = b

= \frac{1}{u}

Simplify

e^{- \frac{1}{2} u l n (2)} : 2^{- \frac{1}{2} u}

e^{- \frac{1}{2} u l n (2)}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b c} = (a^{b})^{c}

= (e^{l n (2)})^{- \frac{1}{2} u}

Apply log rule:

a^{l o g_{a} (b)} = b

e^{l n (2)} = 2

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

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

Multiply both sides by

u

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

Simplify

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

Solve

1 = 2^{- \frac{1}{2} u} u : u = 4, u = 2

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

Prepare

Apply exponent rules

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

Convert to base

e : 1 = e^{l n (2) (- \frac{1}{2} u)} u

Apply exponent rule:

a = b^{l o g_{b} (a)}

2^{- \frac{1}{2} u} = (e^{l n (2)})^{- \frac{1}{2} u}

1 = (e^{l n (2)})^{- \frac{1}{2} u} u

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

(e^{l n (2)})^{- \frac{1}{2} u} = e^{l n (2) (- \frac{1}{2} u)}

1 = e^{l n (2) (- \frac{1}{2} u)} u

1 = e^{l n (2) (- \frac{1}{2} u)} u

Simplify

1 = e^{- \frac{1}{2} l n (2) u} u

1 = e^{- \frac{1}{2} l n (2) u} u

Rewrite the equation with

- \frac{1}{2} u ln (2) = v

and

u = - \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )}

1 = e^{v} (- \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )})

Rewrite

1 = e^{v} (- \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )})

in Lambert form:

e^{v} v = - \frac{ln ( 2 )}{2}

1 = e^{v} (- \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )})

x e^{x} = a

is equation in Lambert form

Switch sides

e^{v} (- \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )}) = 1

Multiply both sides by

ln (2)

e^{v} (- \frac{2 v}{ln ( 2 )}) ln (2) = 1 \cdot ln (2)

Simplify

- 2 e^{v} v = ln (2)

Divide both sides by

- 2

\frac{- 2 e ^{v} v}{- 2} = \frac{ln ( 2 )}{- 2}

Simplify

e^{v} v = - \frac{ln ( 2 )}{2}

Solve

e^{v} v = - \frac{ln ( 2 )}{2} : v = - 2 ln (2), v = - ln (2)
