2cos^2(X)=1-sin(X)

Solution

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

Solution

X = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, X = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn, X = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

X = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, X = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, X = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

1 - sin (X)

from both sides

2 cos^{2} (X) - 1 + sin (X) = 0

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)) : sin (X) - 2 sin^{2} (X) + 1

- 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) : sin (X) - 2 sin^{2} (X) + 1

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

Group like terms

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 2 = 1

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

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

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

1 + sin (X) - 2 sin^{2} (X) = 0

Solve by substitution

1 + sin (X) - 2 sin^{2} (X) = 0

Let:

sin (X) = u

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

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

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

Write in the standard form

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

- 2 u^{2} + u + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} + u + 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

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

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 4 (- 2) \cdot 1

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 1 + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- 1 + 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 3 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

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

\frac{- 1 - 3}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Subtract the numbers:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (X)

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

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

sin (X) = - \frac{1}{2} : X = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, X = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

sin (X) = - \frac{1}{2}
