3sin(2x)=5cos^2(2x)-1

Solution

3 sin (2 x) = 5 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1

Solution

x = \frac{0.69892 \dots}{2} + πn, x = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{0.69892 \dots}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 20.02283 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 69.97716 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 sin (2 x) = 5 cos^{2} (2 x) - 1

Subtract

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

from both sides

3 sin (2 x) - 5 cos^{2} (2 x) + 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 cos^{2} (2 x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= 1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Simplify

1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) : 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 3 sin (2 x) - 4

1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Expand

- 5 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) : - 5 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x)

- 5 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 5, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (2 x)

= - 5 \cdot 1 - (- 5) sin^{2} (2 x)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 5 \cdot 1 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x)

Multiply the numbers:

5 \cdot 1 = 5

= - 5 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x)

= 1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x)

Simplify

1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x) : 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 3 sin (2 x) - 4

1 + 3 sin (2 x) - 5 + 5 sin^{2} (2 x)

Group like terms

= 3 sin (2 x) + 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 1 - 5

Add/Subtract the numbers:

1 - 5 = - 4

= 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 3 sin (2 x) - 4

= 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 3 sin (2 x) - 4

= 5 sin^{2} (2 x) + 3 sin (2 x) - 4

- 4 + 3 sin (2 x) + 5 sin^{2} (2 x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 4 + 3 sin (2 x) + 5 sin^{2} (2 x) = 0

Let:

sin (2 x) = u

- 4 + 3 u + 5 u^{2} = 0

- 4 + 3 u + 5 u^{2} = 0 : u = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}, u = \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

- 4 + 3 u + 5 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

5 u^{2} + 3 u - 4 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

5 u^{2} + 3 u - 4 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 5, b = 3, c = - 4

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 5 ( - 4 )}{2 \cdot 5}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 5 ( - 4 )}{2 \cdot 5}

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 5 (- 4) = 89

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 5 (- 4)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 3^{2} + 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 4

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 = 80

= 3^{2} + 80

3^{2} = 9

= 9 + 80

Add the numbers:

9 + 80 = 89

= 89

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 89}{2 \cdot 5}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 3 + 89}{2 \cdot 5}, u_{2} = \frac{- 3 - 89}{2 \cdot 5}

u = \frac{- 3 + 89}{2 \cdot 5} : \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}

\frac{- 3 + 89}{2 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 5 = 10

= \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}

u = \frac{- 3 - 89}{2 \cdot 5} : \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

\frac{- 3 - 89}{2 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 5 = 10

= \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}, u = \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

Substitute back

u = sin (2 x)

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}, sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}, sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 - 89}{10}

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10} : x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 3 + 89}{10} )}{2} + πn, x = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 3 + 89}{10} )}{2} + πn

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}

General solutions for

sin (2 x) = \frac{- 3 + 89}{10}

sin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (a) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn

2 x = arcsin (\frac{- 3 + 89}{10}) + 2 πn, 2 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 3 + 89}{10}) + 2 πn

2 x = arcsin (\frac{- 3 + 89}{10}) + 2 πn, 2 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 3 + 89}{10}) + 2 πn

x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 3 + 89}{10} )}{2} + πn

Solve

2 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 3 + 89}{10}) + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 3 + 89}{10} )}{2} + πn
