5sin(2θ)-8sin(θ)=0

Solution

5 sin (2 θ) - 8 sin (θ) = 0

Solution

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn, θ = 0.64350 \dots + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - 0.64350 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 36.86989 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 323.13010 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

5 sin (2 θ) - 8 sin (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

5 sin (2 θ) - 8 sin (θ)

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= 5 \cdot 2 sin (θ) cos (θ) - 8 sin (θ)

Simplify

= 10 sin (θ) cos (θ) - 8 sin (θ)

- 8 sin (θ) + 10 cos (θ) sin (θ) = 0

Factor

- 8 sin (θ) + 10 cos (θ) sin (θ) : 2 sin (θ) (5 cos (θ) - 4)

- 8 sin (θ) + 10 cos (θ) sin (θ)

Rewrite

5 \cdot 2

Rewrite

- 8

4 \cdot 2

= 4 \cdot 2 sin (θ) + 5 \cdot 2 sin (θ) cos (θ)

Factor out common term

2 sin (θ)

= 2 sin (θ) (- 4 + 5 cos (θ))

2 sin (θ) (5 cos (θ) - 4) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (θ) = 0 or 5 cos (θ) - 4 = 0

sin (θ) = 0 : θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

sin (θ) = 0

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Solve

θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

5 cos (θ) - 4 = 0 : θ = arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn

5 cos (θ) - 4 = 0

Move

4

to the right side

5 cos (θ) - 4 = 0

Add

4

to both sides

5 cos (θ) - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4

Simplify

5 cos (θ) = 4

5 cos (θ) = 4

Divide both sides by

5

5 cos (θ) = 4

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 cos ( θ )}{5} = \frac{4}{5}

Simplify

cos (θ) = \frac{4}{5}

cos (θ) = \frac{4}{5}

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (θ) = \frac{4}{5}

General solutions for

cos (θ) = \frac{4}{5}

cos (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arccos (a) + 2 πn, x = 2 π - arccos (a) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn

θ = arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn, θ = arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn, θ = 2 π - arccos (\frac{4}{5}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form
