5-7sin(x)=2cos^2(x)

Solution

5 - 7 sin (x) = 2 cos^{2} (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

5 - 7 sin (x) = 2 cos^{2} (x)

Subtract

2 cos^{2} (x)

from both sides

5 - 7 sin (x) - 2 cos^{2} (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

5 - 2 cos^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= 5 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 7 sin (x)

Simplify

5 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 7 sin (x) : 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 3

5 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) - 7 sin (x)

Expand

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

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= - 2 \cdot 1 - (- 2) sin^{2} (x)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 2 \cdot 1 + 2 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

= 5 - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x)

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 2 = 3

= 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 3

= 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 3

3 + 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

3 + 2 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

3 + 2 u^{2} - 7 u = 0

3 + 2 u^{2} - 7 u = 0 : u = 3, u = \frac{1}{2}

3 + 2 u^{2} - 7 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

2 u^{2} - 7 u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} - 7 u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = - 7, c = 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm ( - 7 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm ( - 7 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 2}

(- 7)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 5

(- 7)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 7)^{2} = 7^{2}

= 7^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 24

= 7^{2} - 24

7^{2} = 49

= 49 - 24

Subtract the numbers:

49 - 24 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 2} : 3

\frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{7 + 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

7 + 5 = 12

= \frac{12}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{12}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{12}{4} = 3

= 3

u = \frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{7 - 5}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

7 - 5 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 3, u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = 3, sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = 3, sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = 3 :

No Solution

sin (x) = 3

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn
