sin^2(x)-9cos(x)-9=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

- 9 + sin^{2} (x) - 9 cos (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 9 + 1 - cos^{2} (x) - 9 cos (x)

Simplify

= - cos^{2} (x) - 9 cos (x) - 8

- 8 - cos^{2} (x) - 9 cos (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 8 - cos^{2} (x) - 9 cos (x) = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

- 8 - u^{2} - 9 u = 0

- 8 - u^{2} - 9 u = 0 : u = - 8, u = - 1

- 8 - u^{2} - 9 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- u^{2} - 9 u - 8 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} - 9 u - 8 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = - 9, c = - 8

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 9 ) \pm ( - 9 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) ( - 8 )}{2 ( - 1 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 9 ) \pm ( - 9 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) ( - 8 )}{2 ( - 1 )}

(- 9)^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 8) = 7

(- 9)^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 8)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 9)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 8

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 9)^{2} = 9^{2}

= 9^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 8

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 8 = 32

= 9^{2} - 32

9^{2} = 81

= 81 - 32

Subtract the numbers:

81 - 32 = 49

= 49

Factor the number:

49 = 7^{2}

= 7^{2}

Apply radical rule:

7^{2} = 7

= 7

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 9 ) \pm 7}{2 ( - 1 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 9 ) + 7}{2 ( - 1 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 9 ) - 7}{2 ( - 1 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 9 ) + 7}{2 ( - 1 )} : - 8

\frac{- ( - 9 ) + 7}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{9 + 7}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

9 + 7 = 16

= \frac{16}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{16}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{16}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{16}{2} = 8

= - 8

u = \frac{- ( - 9 ) - 7}{2 ( - 1 )} : - 1

\frac{- ( - 9 ) - 7}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{9 - 7}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 7 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 8, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) = - 8, cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 8, cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 8 :

No Solution

cos (x) = - 8

- 1 \leq cos (x) \leq 1

No Solution

cos (x) = - 1 : x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) = - 1
