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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

- 2 u^{2} = 3 u + 1 : u = - 1, u = - \frac{1}{2}

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

Move

1

to the left side

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

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

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

Move

3 u

to the left side

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

Subtract

3 u

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

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

Write in the standard form

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 3, c = - 1

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

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

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) (- 1) = 1

(- 3)^{2} - 4 (- 2) (- 1)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

= 3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 8

= 3^{2} - 8

3^{2} = 9

= 9 - 8

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 8 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 ( - 2 )} : - 1

\frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{3 + 1}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

3 + 1 = 4

= \frac{4}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{4}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 ( - 2 )} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 1 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1
