2sin^2(θ)+3sin(θ)=0

Solution

2 sin^{2} (θ) + 3 sin (θ) = 0

Solution

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Degrees

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

Solution steps

2 sin^{2} (θ) + 3 sin (θ) = 0

Solve by substitution

2 sin^{2} (θ) + 3 sin (θ) = 0

Let:

sin (θ) = u

2 u^{2} + 3 u = 0

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

2 u^{2} + 3 u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} + 3 u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = 3, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 2}

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0 = 3

3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 3^{2} - 0

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

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0

= 3

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 3 + 3}{2 \cdot 2} : 0

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 3 = 0

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{0}{4}

Apply rule

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

= 0

u = \frac{- 3 - 3}{2 \cdot 2} : - \frac{3}{2}

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

Subtract the numbers:

- 3 - 3 = - 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}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 0, u = - \frac{3}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (θ)

sin (θ) = 0, sin (θ) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (θ) = 0, sin (θ) = - \frac{3}{2}

sin (θ) = 0 : θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

sin (θ) = 0

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

Solve

θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = 2 πn

θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn

θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn
