sin^2(x)=2-sin(x)

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

u^{2} = 2 - u

u^{2} = 2 - u : u = 1, u = - 2

u^{2} = 2 - u

Move

u

to the left side

u^{2} = 2 - u

Add

u

to both sides

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

Simplify

u^{2} + u = 2

u^{2} + u = 2

Move

2

to the left side

u^{2} + u = 2

Subtract

2

from both sides

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

Simplify

u^{2} + u - 2 = 0

u^{2} + u - 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} + u - 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = 1, c = - 2

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

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

1^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (- 2) = 3

1^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (- 2)

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (- 2)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 1 + 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 8

= 1 + 8

Add the numbers:

1 + 8 = 9

= 9

Factor the number:

9 = 3^{2}

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

3^{2} = 3

= 3

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 1 + 3}{2 \cdot 1} : 1

\frac{- 1 + 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 3 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

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

\frac{- 1 - 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 3 = - 4

= \frac{- 4}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 4}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= - 2

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 1, u = - 2

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = 1, sin (x) = - 2

sin (x) = 1, sin (x) = - 2

sin (x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = 1
