2sin^2(A)=5sin(A)-2

Solution

2 sin^{2} (A) = 5 sin (A) - 2

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

2 sin^{2} (A) = 5 sin (A) - 2

Solve by substitution

2 sin^{2} (A) = 5 sin (A) - 2

Let:

sin (A) = u

2 u^{2} = 5 u - 2

2 u^{2} = 5 u - 2 : u = 2, u = \frac{1}{2}

2 u^{2} = 5 u - 2

Move

2

to the left side

2 u^{2} = 5 u - 2

Add

2

to both sides

2 u^{2} + 2 = 5 u - 2 + 2

Simplify

2 u^{2} + 2 = 5 u

2 u^{2} + 2 = 5 u

Move

5 u

to the left side

2 u^{2} + 2 = 5 u

Subtract

5 u

from both sides

2 u^{2} + 2 - 5 u = 5 u - 5 u

Simplify

2 u^{2} + 2 - 5 u = 0

2 u^{2} + 2 - 5 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

2 u^{2} - 5 u + 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} - 5 u + 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = - 5, c = 2

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2}

(- 5)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 3

(- 5)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 5)^{2} = 5^{2}

= 5^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 5^{2} - 16

5^{2} = 25

= 25 - 16

Subtract the numbers:

25 - 16 = 9

= 9

Factor the number:

9 = 3^{2}

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

3^{2} = 3

= 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 3}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 3}{2 \cdot 2} : 2

\frac{- ( - 5 ) + 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{5 + 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

5 + 3 = 8

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{8}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{4} = 2

= 2

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 5 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{5 - 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 3 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (A)

sin (A) = 2, sin (A) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (A) = 2, sin (A) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (A) = 2 :

No Solution

sin (A) = 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

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

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

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

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

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