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

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2.42626 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 2.42626 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 139.01468 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 139.01468 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

cos (x) = u

1 - u^{2} + u^{3} = 0

1 - u^{2} + u^{3} = 0 : u \approx - 0.75487 \dots

1 - u^{2} + u^{3} = 0

Write in the standard form

a_{n} x^{n} + \dots + a_{1} x + a_{0} = 0

u^{3} - u^{2} + 1 = 0
