sin^2(x)=8cos^2(x)

Solution

sin^{2} (x) = 8 cos^{2} (x)

Solution

x = - 1.23095 \dots + πn, x = 1.23095 \dots + πn

Degrees

x = - 70.52877 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 70.52877 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) = 8 cos^{2} (x)

Subtract

8 cos^{2} (x)

from both sides

sin^{2} (x) - 8 cos^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

sin^{2} (x) - 8 cos^{2} (x) : (sin (x) + 22 cos (x)) (sin (x) - 22 cos (x))

sin^{2} (x) - 8 cos^{2} (x)

Rewrite

sin^{2} (x) - 8 cos^{2} (x)

sin^{2} (x) - (8 cos (x))^{2}

sin^{2} (x) - 8 cos^{2} (x)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

8 = (8)^{2}

= sin^{2} (x) - (8)^{2} cos^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(8)^{2} cos^{2} (x) = (8 cos (x))^{2}

= sin^{2} (x) - (8 cos (x))^{2}

= sin^{2} (x) - (8 cos (x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

sin^{2} (x) - (8 cos (x))^{2} = (sin (x) + 8 cos (x)) (sin (x) - 8 cos (x))

= (sin (x) + 8 cos (x)) (sin (x) - 8 cos (x))

Refine

= (sin (x) + 22 cos (x)) (sin (x) - 22 cos (x))

(sin (x) + 22 cos (x)) (sin (x) - 22 cos (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) + 22 cos (x) = 0 or sin (x) - 22 cos (x) = 0

sin (x) + 22 cos (x) = 0 : x = arctan (- 22) + πn

sin (x) + 22 cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + 22 cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

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

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 22 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) + 22 = 0

tan (x) + 22 = 0

Move

22

to the right side

tan (x) + 22 = 0

Subtract

22

from both sides

tan (x) + 22 - 22 = 0 - 22

Simplify

tan (x) = - 22

tan (x) = - 22

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = - 22

General solutions for

tan (x) = - 22

tan (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arctan (- a) + πn

x = arctan (- 22) + πn

x = arctan (- 22) + πn

sin (x) - 22 cos (x) = 0 : x = arctan (22) + πn

sin (x) - 22 cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) - 22 cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

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

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 22 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) - 22 = 0

tan (x) - 22 = 0

Move

22

to the right side

tan (x) - 22 = 0

Add

22

to both sides

tan (x) - 22 + 22 = 0 + 22

Simplify

tan (x) = 22

tan (x) = 22

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = 22

General solutions for

tan (x) = 22

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + πn
