cos^2(x)=sin^2(x/2)

Solution

cos^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

Solution

x = - \frac{π}{3} - \frac{8 πn}{3}, x = - \frac{5 π}{3} - \frac{8 πn}{3}, x = \frac{8 πn}{3} + \frac{π}{3}, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + \frac{8 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = - 6 0^{\circ} - 48 0^{\circ} n, x = - 30 0^{\circ} - 48 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 48 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 48 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) = sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

Subtract

sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (\frac{x}{2})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (\frac{π}{2} - x)

= cos^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (\frac{π}{2} - \frac{x}{2})

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= cos^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (\frac{π - x}{2})

- cos^{2} (\frac{- x + π}{2}) + cos^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

- cos^{2} (\frac{- x + π}{2}) + cos^{2} (x) : (cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2})) (cos (x) - cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}))

- cos^{2} (\frac{- x + π}{2}) + cos^{2} (x)

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

cos^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (\frac{- x + π}{2}) = (cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2})) (cos (x) - cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}))

= (cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2})) (cos (x) - cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}))

(cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2})) (cos (x) - cos (\frac{- x + π}{2})) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}) = 0 or cos (x) - cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}) = 0

cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}) = 0 : x = - \frac{π}{3} - \frac{8 πn}{3}, x = - \frac{5 π}{3} - \frac{8 πn}{3}

cos (x) + cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (\frac{- x + π}{2}) + cos (x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

cos (s) + cos (t) = 2 cos (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

= 2 cos (\frac{\frac{- x + π}{2} + x}{2}) cos (\frac{\frac{- x + π}{2} - x}{2})

Simplify

2 cos (\frac{\frac{- x + π}{2} + x}{2}) cos (\frac{\frac{- x + π}{2} - x}{2}) : 2 cos (\frac{x + π}{4}) cos (\frac{- 3 x + π}{4})

\frac{- x + π}{2} + x

Convert element to fraction:

x = \frac{x 2}{2}

= \frac{- x + π}{2} + \frac{x \cdot 2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- x + π + x \cdot 2}{2}

- x + π + x \cdot 2 = x + π

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = 8 πn + π

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{8 πn}{3} + \frac{π}{3}

Simplify

x = \frac{8 πn}{3} + \frac{π}{3}

Solve

\frac{- π + 3 x}{4} = π + 2 πn : x = \frac{5 π}{3} + \frac{8 πn}{3}

\frac{- π + 3 x}{4} = π + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

4

\frac{- π + 3 x}{4} = π + 2 πn

Multiply both sides by

4

\frac{4 ( - π + 3 x )}{4} = 4 π + 4 \cdot 2 πn

Simplify

- π + 3 x = 4 π + 8 πn

- π + 3 x = 4 π + 8 πn

Move

π

to the right side

- π + 3 x = 4 π + 8 πn

Add

π

to both sides

- π + 3 x + π = 4 π + 8 πn + π

Simplify

3 x = 5 π + 8 πn

3 x = 5 π + 8 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = 5 π + 8 πn

Divide both sides by
