sin^2(x)+4sin(x)+3=0

Solution

sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin (x) + 3 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

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

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin (x) + 3 = 0

Solve by substitution

sin^{2} (x) + 4 sin (x) + 3 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

u^{2} + 4 u + 3 = 0

u^{2} + 4 u + 3 = 0 : u = - 1, u = - 3

u^{2} + 4 u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} + 4 u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = 4, c = 3

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

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

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 12

= 4^{2} - 12

4^{2} = 16

= 16 - 12

Subtract the numbers:

16 - 12 = 4

= 4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

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

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 4 + 2}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- 4 - 2}{2 \cdot 1}

u = \frac{- 4 + 2}{2 \cdot 1} : - 1

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 4 + 2 = - 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{- 4 - 2}{2 \cdot 1} : - 3

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

Subtract the numbers:

- 4 - 2 = - 6

= \frac{- 6}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 6}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{6}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{2} = 3

= - 3

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 1, u = - 3

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - 3

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - 3

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

sin (x) = - 1
