cos(2x)-sqrt(3)sin(x)=1

Solution

cos (2 x) - 3 sin (x) = 1

Solution

x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (2 x) - 3 sin (x) = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

cos (2 x) - 3 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

- 2 u^{2} - u 3 = 0 : u = - \frac{3}{2}, u = 0

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

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 3, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 2 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 2 )}

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 0 = 3

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 0

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 3)^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0

(- 3)^{2} = 3

(- 3)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 3)^{2} = (3)^{2}

= (3)^{2}

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0 = 0

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= 3 + 0

Add the numbers:

3 + 0 = 3

= 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 3}{2 ( - 2 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 3}{2 ( - 2 )} : - \frac{3}{2}

\frac{- ( - 3 ) + 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{3 + 3}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add similar elements:

3 + 3 = 23

= \frac{2 3}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 3}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{2 3}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{3}{2}

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 ( - 2 )} : 0

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{3 - 3}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add similar elements:

3 - 3 = 0

= \frac{0}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{0}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{0}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= - 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{3}{2}, u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2} : x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}
