(2-2sin(x))/a = 2/(sin(x))

Solution

\frac{2 - 2 sin ( x )}{a} = \frac{2}{sin ( x )}

Solution

x = arcsin (- \frac{- 1 + - 4 a + 1}{2}) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (\frac{- 1 + - 4 a + 1}{2}) + 2 πn, x = arcsin (\frac{- 4 a + 1 + 1}{2}) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- \frac{- 4 a + 1 + 1}{2}) + 2 πn

Solution steps

\frac{2 - 2 sin ( x )}{a} = \frac{2}{sin ( x )}

Solve by substitution

\frac{2 - 2 sin ( x )}{a} = \frac{2}{sin ( x )}

Let:

sin (x) = u

\frac{2 - 2 u}{a} = \frac{2}{u}

\frac{2 - 2 u}{a} = \frac{2}{u} : u = - \frac{- 1 + - 4 a + 1}{2}, u = \frac{- 4 a + 1 + 1}{2}; a \neq = 0

\frac{2 - 2 u}{a} = \frac{2}{u}

Cross multiply

\frac{2 - 2 u}{a} = \frac{2}{u}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

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

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

(2 - 2 u) u = a \cdot 2

(2 - 2 u) u = a \cdot 2

Solve

(2 - 2 u) u = a \cdot 2 : u = - \frac{- 1 + - 4 a + 1}{2}, u = \frac{- 4 a + 1 + 1}{2}

(2 - 2 u) u = a \cdot 2

Expand

(2 - 2 u) u : 2 u - 2 u^{2}

(2 - 2 u) u

= u (2 - 2 u)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = u, b = 2, c = 2 u

= u \cdot 2 - u \cdot 2 u

= 2 u - 2 uu

2 uu = 2 u^{2}

2 uu

Apply exponent rule:

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

uu = u^{1 + 1}

= 2 u^{1 + 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2 u^{2}

= 2 u - 2 u^{2}

2 u - 2 u^{2} = a \cdot 2

Move

a 2

to the left side

2 u - 2 u^{2} = a \cdot 2

Subtract

a 2

from both sides

2 u - 2 u^{2} - a \cdot 2 = a \cdot 2 - a \cdot 2

Simplify

2 u - 2 u^{2} - a \cdot 2 = 0

2 u - 2 u^{2} - a \cdot 2 = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 2 u^{2} + 2 u - a \cdot 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} + 2 u - a \cdot 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = 2, c = - a 2

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

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

Simplify

2^{2} - 4 (- 2) (- a \cdot 2) : 2 1 - 4 a

2^{2} - 4 (- 2) (- a \cdot 2)

Apply rule

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2 + 2 - 4 a + 1}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:
