4sin^2(x)+2sin(x)-2=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 4, b = 2, c = - 2

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

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

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 4 (- 2) = 6

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 2^{2} + 4 \cdot 4 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 4 \cdot 2 = 32

= 2^{2} + 32

2^{2} = 4

= 4 + 32

Add the numbers:

4 + 32 = 36

= 36

Factor the number:

36 = 6^{2}

= 6^{2}

Apply radical rule:

n a^{n} = a

6^{2} = 6

= 6

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 6}{2 \cdot 4}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 2 + 6}{2 \cdot 4}, u_{2} = \frac{- 2 - 6}{2 \cdot 4}

u = \frac{- 2 + 6}{2 \cdot 4} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 2 + 6}{2 \cdot 4}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 2 + 6 = 4

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{4}{8}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 2 - 6}{2 \cdot 4} : - 1

\frac{- 2 - 6}{2 \cdot 4}

Subtract the numbers:

- 2 - 6 = - 8

= \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 4}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 4 = 8

= \frac{- 8}{8}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{8}{8}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

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