sin^2(x)-sin(x)+2cos^2(x)=1

Solution

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

Solution

x = 0.66623 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.66623 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 38.17270 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 141.82729 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Group like terms

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

Add similar elements:

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

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 2 = 1

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

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

1 - u - u^{2} = 0

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

1 - u - u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- u^{2} - u + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} - u + 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = - 1, c = 1

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

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

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 1) \cdot 1 = 5

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

= 4

= 1 + 4

Add the numbers:

1 + 4 = 5

= 5

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 5}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{1 + 5}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{1 + 5}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{1 + 5}{2}

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 5}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{1 - 5}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{1 - 5}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

1 - 5 = - (5 - 1)

= \frac{5 - 1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{1 + 5}{2}, u = \frac{5 - 1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - \frac{1 + 5}{2}, sin (x) = \frac{5 - 1}{2}

sin (x) = - \frac{1 + 5}{2}, sin (x) = \frac{5 - 1}{2}

sin (x) = - \frac{1 + 5}{2} :
