1+sin(θ)=2-sin(θ)

Solution

1 + sin (θ) = 2 - sin (θ)

Solution

θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

1 + sin (θ) = 2 - sin (θ)

Solve by substitution

1 + sin (θ) = 2 - sin (θ)

Let:

sin (θ) = u

1 + u = 2 - u

1 + u = 2 - u : u = \frac{1}{2}

1 + u = 2 - u

Move

1

to the right side

1 + u = 2 - u

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 + u - 1 = 2 - u - 1

Simplify

u = - u + 1

u = - u + 1

Move

u

to the left side

u = - u + 1

Add

u

to both sides

u + u = - u + 1 + u

Simplify

2 u = 1

2 u = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u = 1

Divide both sides by

2

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

Simplify

u = \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (θ)

sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2} : θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn
