2cos^2(θ)+sin(θ)=2

Solution

2 cos^{2} (θ) + sin (θ) = 2

Solution

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

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos^{2} (θ) + sin (θ) = 2

Subtract

2

from both sides

2 cos^{2} (θ) + sin (θ) - 2 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 + sin (θ) + 2 cos^{2} (θ)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 2 + sin (θ) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Simplify

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

- 2 + sin (θ) + 2 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Expand

2 (1 - sin^{2} (θ)) : 2 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

2 (1 - sin^{2} (θ))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (θ)

= 2 \cdot 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 2 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

= - 2 + sin (θ) + 2 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Simplify

- 2 + sin (θ) + 2 - 2 sin^{2} (θ) : sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

- 2 + sin (θ) + 2 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Group like terms

= sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ) - 2 + 2

- 2 + 2 = 0

= sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

= sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

= sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ) = 0

Solve by substitution

sin (θ) - 2 sin^{2} (θ) = 0

Let:

sin (θ) = u

u - 2 u^{2} = 0

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

u - 2 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 2 u^{2} + u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} + u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = 1, c = 0

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

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

1^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 0 = 1

1^{2} - 4 (- 2) \cdot 0

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 4 (- 2) \cdot 0

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 1 + 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 1 + 0

Add the numbers:

1 + 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 1 + 1}{2 ( - 2 )} : 0

\frac{- 1 + 1}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 1 = 0

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{0}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{0}{4}

Apply rule

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

= - 0

= 0

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

\frac{- 1 - 1}{2 ( - 2 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 1 = - 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 0, u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (θ)

sin (θ) = 0, sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (θ) = 0, sin (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (θ) = 0 : θ = 2 πn, θ = π + 2 πn

sin (θ) = 0
