4sin(x/2)+4cos(x)=0

Solution

4 sin (\frac{x}{2}) + 4 cos (x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{7 π}{3} + 4 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{3} + 4 πn, x = π + 4 πn

Degrees

x = 42 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 66 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 sin (\frac{x}{2}) + 4 cos (x) = 0

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

4 sin (u) + 4 cos (2 u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

4 cos (2 u) + 4 sin (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (u) = u

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

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 4 + 4 u = 0 : u = - \frac{1}{2}, u = 1

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

Expand

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 4 + 4 u : 4 - 8 u^{2} + 4 u

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 4 + 4 u

= 4 (1 - 2 u^{2}) + 4 u

Expand

4 (1 - 2 u^{2}) : 4 - 8 u^{2}

4 (1 - 2 u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 4, b = 1, c = 2 u^{2}

= 4 \cdot 1 - 4 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Simplify

4 \cdot 1 - 4 \cdot 2 u^{2} : 4 - 8 u^{2}

4 \cdot 1 - 4 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 = 4

= 4 - 4 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 = 8

= 4 - 8 u^{2}

= 4 - 8 u^{2}

= 4 - 8 u^{2} + 4 u

4 - 8 u^{2} + 4 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 8 u^{2} + 4 u + 4 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 8 u^{2} + 4 u + 4 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 8, b = 4, c = 4

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 4 \pm 4 ^{2} - 4 ( - 8 ) \cdot 4}{2 ( - 8 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 4 \pm 4 ^{2} - 4 ( - 8 ) \cdot 4}{2 ( - 8 )}

4^{2} - 4 (- 8) \cdot 4 = 12

4^{2} - 4 (- 8) \cdot 4

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 4^{2} + 4 \cdot 8 \cdot 4

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 8 \cdot 4 = 128

= 4^{2} + 128

4^{2} = 16

= 16 + 128

Add the numbers:

16 + 128 = 144

= 144

Factor the number:

144 = 1 2^{2}

= 1 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

1 2^{2} = 12

= 12

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 4 \pm 12}{2 ( - 8 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 4 + 12}{2 ( - 8 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- 4 - 12}{2 ( - 8 )}

u = \frac{- 4 + 12}{2 ( - 8 )} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 4 + 12}{2 ( - 8 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 4 + 12}{- 2 \cdot 8}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 4 + 12 = 8

= \frac{8}{- 2 \cdot 8}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 8 = 16

= \frac{8}{- 16}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{8}{16}

Cancel the common factor:

8

= - \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 4 - 12}{2 ( - 8 )} : 1

\frac{- 4 - 12}{2 ( - 8 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 4 - 12}{- 2 \cdot 8}

Subtract the numbers:

- 4 - 12 = - 16

= \frac{- 16}{- 2 \cdot 8}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 8 = 16

= \frac{- 16}{- 16}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{16}{16}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (u)

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 1

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 1

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2} : u = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, u = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

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