3cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)-sin^2(x)=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = - 0.88607 \dots + πn, x = 0.88607 \dots + πn

Degrees

x = - 50.76847 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 50.76847 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Factor

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

3 cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x)

Add similar elements:

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

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

Rewrite

3 cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x)

(3 cos (x))^{2} - (2 sin (x))^{2}

3 cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

3 = (3)^{2}

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

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(3)^{2} cos^{2} (x) = (3 cos (x))^{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(2)^{2} sin^{2} (x) = (2 sin (x))^{2}

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

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

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

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

= (3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (3 cos (x) - 2 sin (x))

(3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (3 cos (x) - 2 sin (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0 or 3 cos (x) - 2 sin (x) = 0

3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0 : x = arctan (- \frac{3}{2}) + πn

3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

3 cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{3 cos ( x ) + 2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

3 + \frac{2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

3 + 2 tan (x) = 0

3 + 2 tan (x) = 0

Move

3

to the right side

3 + 2 tan (x) = 0

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 + 2 tan (x) - 3 = 0 - 3

Simplify

2 tan (x) = - 3

2 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

2

2 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by
