cos^2(x)=sin^2(x)-(sqrt(2))/2

Solution

cos^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (x) - \frac{2}{2}

Solution

x = 1.17809 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 1.17809 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 1.17809 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 1.17809 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 67. 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 112. 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 67. 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 247. 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (x) - \frac{2}{2}

Subtract

sin^{2} (x) - \frac{2}{2}

from both sides

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1}{2} = 0

Simplify

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1}{2} : \frac{2 cos ^{2} ( x ) - 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) + 1}{2}

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) + \frac{1}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

cos^{2} (x) = \frac{cos ^{2} ( x ) 2}{2}, sin^{2} (x) = \frac{sin ^{2} ( x ) 2}{2}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

\frac{2 cos ^{2} ( x ) - 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) + 1}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

1 + (1 - sin^{2} (x)) 2 - sin^{2} (x) 2 : 1 + 2 - 22 sin^{2} (x)

1 + (1 - sin^{2} (x)) 2 - sin^{2} (x) 2

Expand

2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : 2 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= 2 \cdot 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 1 \cdot 2 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

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

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

Add similar elements:

- 2 sin^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) = - 22 sin^{2} (x)

= 1 + 2 - 22 sin^{2} (x)

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

1 + 2 - 2 u^{2} 2 = 0 : u = \frac{2 + 2}{2}, u = - \frac{2 + 2}{2}

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

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

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

2 - 2 u^{2} 2 = - 1

2 - 2 u^{2} 2 = - 1

Move

2

to the right side

2 - 2 u^{2} 2 = - 1

Subtract

2

from both sides

2 - 2 u^{2} 2 - 2 = - 1 - 2

Simplify

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