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

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = - 0.33983 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.33983 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 19.47122 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 199.47122 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

3 cos^{2} (x)

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Expand

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

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 3, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

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

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Group like terms

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

3 - 3 = 0

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

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

u + 3 u^{2} = 0

u + 3 u^{2} = 0 : u = 0, u = - \frac{1}{3}

u + 3 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

3 u^{2} + u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

3 u^{2} + u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 3, b = 1, c = 0

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

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

1^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 0 = 1

1^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 0

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 1 - 0

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 1 + 1}{2 \cdot 3} : 0

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 1 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{0}{6}

Apply rule

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

= 0

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 1 = - 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{- 2}{6}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{3}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 0, u = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = 0, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{3}

sin (x) = 0, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{3}

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0
