cos(2t)-sin(t)=0.5,0<t<2pi

Solution

cos (2 t) - sin (t) = 0.5, 0 < t < 2 π

Solution

t = π + 0.94247 \dots, t = - 0.94247 \dots + 2 π, t = 0.31415 \dots, t = π - 0.31415 \dots

Degrees

t = 23 4^{\circ}, t = 30 6^{\circ}, t = 1 8^{\circ}, t = 16 2^{\circ}

Solution steps

cos (2 t) - sin (t) = 0.5, 0 < t < 2 π

Subtract

0.5

from both sides

cos (2 t) - sin (t) - 0.5 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 0.5 + cos (2 t) - sin (t)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= - 0.5 + 1 - 2 sin^{2} (t) - sin (t)

Simplify

= - 2 sin^{2} (t) - sin (t) + 0.5

0.5 - sin (t) - 2 sin^{2} (t) = 0

Solve by substitution

0.5 - sin (t) - 2 sin^{2} (t) = 0

Let:

sin (t) = u

0.5 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0

0.5 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0 : u = - \frac{1 + 5}{4}, u = \frac{5 - 1}{4}

0.5 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0

Multiply both sides by

10

0.5 - u - 2 u^{2} = 0

To eliminate decimal points, multiply by 10 for every digit after the decimal pointThere is one digit to the right of the decimal point, therefore multiply by

10

0.5 \cdot 10 - u \cdot 10 - 2 u^{2} \cdot 10 = 0 \cdot 10

Refine

5 - 10 u - 20 u^{2} = 0

5 - 10 u - 20 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 20 u^{2} - 10 u + 5 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 20 u^{2} - 10 u + 5 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 20, b = - 10, c = 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 10 ) \pm ( - 10 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 20 ) \cdot 5}{2 ( - 20 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 10 ) \pm ( - 10 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 20 ) \cdot 5}{2 ( - 20 )}

(- 10)^{2} - 4 (- 20) \cdot 5 = 105

(- 10)^{2} - 4 (- 20) \cdot 5

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 10)^{2} + 4 \cdot 20 \cdot 5

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 10)^{2} = 1 0^{2}

= 1 0^{2} + 4 \cdot 20 \cdot 5

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 20 \cdot 5 = 400

= 1 0^{2} + 400

1 0^{2} = 100

= 100 + 400

Add the numbers:

100 + 400 = 500

= 500

Prime factorization of

500 : 2^{2} \cdot 5^{3}

500

500

divides by

2500 = 250 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 250

250

divides by

2250 = 125 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 125

125

divides by

5125 = 25 \cdot 5

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 25

25

divides by

525 = 5 \cdot 5

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5

2, 5

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5

= 2^{2} \cdot 5^{3}

= 5^{3} \cdot 2^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} \cdot a^{c}

= 2^{2} \cdot 5^{2} \cdot 5

Apply radical rule:

= 5 2^{2} 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 25 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 2 \cdot 55
