sin^2(x)cos(x)= 2/(3pi)

Solution

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) = \frac{2}{3 π}

Solution

x = 1.34554 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2 π - 1.34554 \dots + 2 πn, x = 0.51672 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2 π - 0.51672 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 77.09423 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 282.90576 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 29.60626 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 330.39373 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) = \frac{2}{3 π}

Subtract

\frac{2}{3 π}

from both sides

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) - \frac{2}{3 π} = 0

Simplify

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) - \frac{2}{3 π} : \frac{3 π sin ^{2} ( x ) cos ( x ) - 2}{3 π}

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) - \frac{2}{3 π}

Convert element to fraction:

sin^{2} (x) cos (x) = \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) cos ( x ) 3 π}{3 π}

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) cos ( x ) \cdot 3 π}{3 π} - \frac{2}{3 π}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) cos ( x ) \cdot 3 π - 2}{3 π}

\frac{3 π sin ^{2} ( x ) cos ( x ) - 2}{3 π} = 0

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

3 π sin^{2} (x) cos (x) - 2 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 + 3 cos (x) sin^{2} (x) π

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 2 + 3 cos (x) (1 - cos^{2} (x)) π

- 2 + (1 - cos^{2} (x)) \cdot 3 cos (x) π = 0

Solve by substitution

- 2 + (1 - cos^{2} (x)) \cdot 3 cos (x) π = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

- 2 + (1 - u^{2}) \cdot 3 u π = 0

- 2 + (1 - u^{2}) \cdot 3 u π = 0 : u \approx 0.22334 \dots, u \approx 0.86944 \dots, u \approx - 1.09278 \dots

- 2 + (1 - u^{2}) \cdot 3 u π = 0

Expand

- 2 + (1 - u^{2}) \cdot 3 u π : - 2 + 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

- 2 + (1 - u^{2}) \cdot 3 u π

= - 2 + 3 π u (1 - u^{2})

Expand

3 u π (1 - u^{2}) : 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

3 u π (1 - u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 3 u π, b = 1, c = u^{2}

= 3 u π 1 - 3 u π u^{2}

= 3 \cdot 1 π u - 3 π u^{2} u

Simplify

3 \cdot 1 π u - 3 π u^{2} u : 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

3 \cdot 1 π u - 3 π u^{2} u

3 \cdot 1 π u = 3 π u

3 \cdot 1 π u

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= 3 π u

3 π u^{2} u = 3 π u^{3}

3 π u^{2} u

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

u^{2} u = u^{2 + 1}

= 3 π u^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers:

2 + 1 = 3

= 3 π u^{3}

= 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

= 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

= - 2 + 3 π u - 3 π u^{3}

- 2 + 3 π u - 3 π u^{3} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 3 π u^{3} + 3 π u - 2 = 0
