Degrees

x = 13.84342 \dots^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 31.15657 \dots^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- 2 cos^{2} (4 x) + 2 sin (4 x) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 - 2 cos^{2} (4 x) + 2 sin (4 x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 1 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (4 x)) + 2 sin (4 x)

Simplify

- 1 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (4 x)) + 2 sin (4 x) : 2 sin^{2} (4 x) + 2 sin (4 x) - 3

- 1 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (4 x)) + 2 sin (4 x)

Expand

- 2 (1 - sin^{2} (4 x)) : - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (4 x)

- 2 (1 - sin^{2} (4 x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (4 x)

= - 2 \cdot 1 - (- 2) sin^{2} (4 x)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 2 \cdot 1 + 2 sin^{2} (4 x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (4 x)

= - 1 - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (4 x) + 2 sin (4 x)

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 2 = - 3

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (4 x) = u

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

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

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

Write in the standard form

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

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

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 3) = 27

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 2^{2} + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 24

= 2^{2} + 24

2^{2} = 4

= 4 + 24

Add the numbers:

4 + 24 = 28

= 28

Prime factorization of

28 : 2^{2} \cdot 7

28

28

divides by

228 = 14 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 14

14

divides by

214 = 7 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 7

2, 7

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 7

= 2^{2} \cdot 7

= 2^{2} \cdot 7

Apply radical rule:

= 7 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 27

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 2 + 2 7}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{- 1 + 7}{2}

\frac{- 2 + 2 7}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2 + 2 7}{4}

Factor

- 2 + 27 : 2 (- 1 + 7)

- 2 + 27

Rewrite as

= - 2 \cdot 1 + 27

Factor out common term

u = \frac{- 2 - 2 7}{2 \cdot 2} : - \frac{1 + 7}{2}

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2 - 2 7}{4}

Factor

- 2 - 27 : - 2 (1 + 7)

- 2 - 27

Rewrite as

= - \frac{1 + 7}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{- 1 + 7}{2}, u = - \frac{1 + 7}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (4 x)

sin (4 x) = \frac{- 1 + 7}{2}, sin (4 x) = - \frac{1 + 7}{2}

sin (4 x) = \frac{- 1 + 7}{2}, sin (4 x) = - \frac{1 + 7}{2}

sin (4 x) = \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} : x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} )}{4} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{π}{4} - \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} )}{4} + \frac{πn}{2}

General solutions for

sin (4 x) = \frac{- 1 + 7}{2}

sin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (a) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn

4 x = arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn, 4 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn

4 x = arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn, 4 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn

Solve

4 x = arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn : x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} )}{4} + \frac{πn}{2}

x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} )}{4} + \frac{πn}{2}

Solve

4 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{4} - \frac{arcsin ( \frac{- 1 + 7}{2} )}{4} + \frac{πn}{2}

4 x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 7}{2}) + 2 πn

Divide both sides by
