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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

sin (x) + 1

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

- u - u^{2} = 0

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

- u - u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- u^{2} - u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} - u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = - 1, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 1 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 1 )}

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 1) \cdot 0 = 1

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 1) \cdot 0

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 1)^{2} + 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

(- 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 1 \cdot 0 = 0

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= 1 + 0

Add the numbers:

1 + 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 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

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 1}{2 ( - 1 )} : 0

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 1 = 0

= \frac{0}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= - 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 1, u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1
