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

Solution

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

Solution

x = 0.71532 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2 π - 0.71532 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 40.98531 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 319.01468 \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)) : - 1 + cos^{2} (x)

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

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - 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
