2sin^2(x)+9sin(x)-5=0

Solution

2 sin^{2} (x) + 9 sin (x) - 5 = 0

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

2 sin^{2} (x) + 9 sin (x) - 5 = 0

Solve by substitution

2 sin^{2} (x) + 9 sin (x) - 5 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

2 u^{2} + 9 u - 5 = 0

2 u^{2} + 9 u - 5 = 0 : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - 5

2 u^{2} + 9 u - 5 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} + 9 u - 5 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = 9, c = - 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 9 \pm 9 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 ( - 5 )}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 9 \pm 9 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 ( - 5 )}{2 \cdot 2}

9^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 5) = 11

9^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 5)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 9^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 5

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 = 40

= 9^{2} + 40

9^{2} = 81

= 81 + 40

Add the numbers:

81 + 40 = 121

= 121

Factor the number:

121 = 1 1^{2}

= 1 1^{2}

Apply radical rule:

1 1^{2} = 11

= 11

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 9 \pm 11}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 9 + 11}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- 9 - 11}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- 9 + 11}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 9 + 11}{2 \cdot 2}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 9 + 11 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 9 - 11}{2 \cdot 2} : - 5

\frac{- 9 - 11}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

- 9 - 11 = - 20

= \frac{- 20}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 20}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{20}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{20}{4} = 5

= - 5

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - 5

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - 5

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

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