2cos^2(x)-sin(x)+1=0,0<= x<= 180

Solution

2 cos^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 1 = 0, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ}

Solution

x = 9 0^{\circ}

Radians

x = \frac{π}{2}

Solution steps

2 cos^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 1 = 0, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ}

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

1 - sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : - 2 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 3

1 - sin (x) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Expand

2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : 2 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= 2 \cdot 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

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

Simplify

1 - sin (x) + 2 - 2 sin^{2} (x) : - 2 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 3

1 - sin (x) + 2 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Group like terms

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

Add the numbers:

1 + 2 = 3

= - 2 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 3

= - 2 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 3

= - 2 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 3

3 - sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

3 - sin (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

3 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0

3 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0 : u = - \frac{3}{2}, u = 1

3 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 2 u^{2} - u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} - u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 1, c = 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) \cdot 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 3 = 5

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 24

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 24

= 24

= 1 + 24

Add the numbers:

1 + 24 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{1 + 5}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

1 + 5 = 6

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{6}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{6}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{3}{2}

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 5}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{1 - 5}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 5 = - 4

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 4}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{3}{2}, u = 1

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ} :

No Solution

sin (x) = - \frac{3}{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ}

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (x) = 1, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ} : x = 9 0^{\circ}

sin (x) = 1, 0 \leq x \leq 18 0^{\circ}
