3sin^2(x)-7sin(x)+2=0

Solution

3 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 2 = 0

Solution

x = 0.33983 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.33983 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 19.47122 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 160.52877 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 2 = 0

Solve by substitution

3 sin^{2} (x) - 7 sin (x) + 2 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

3 u^{2} - 7 u + 2 = 0

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

3 u^{2} - 7 u + 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

3 u^{2} - 7 u + 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 3, b = - 7, c = 2

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm ( - 7 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm ( - 7 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 3}

(- 7)^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 = 5

(- 7)^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 7)^{2} = 7^{2}

= 7^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 = 24

= 7^{2} - 24

7^{2} = 49

= 49 - 24

Subtract the numbers:

49 - 24 = 25

= 25

Factor the number:

25 = 5^{2}

= 5^{2}

Apply radical rule:

5^{2} = 5

= 5

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) \pm 5}{2 \cdot 3}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 3}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 3}

u = \frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 3} : 2

\frac{- ( - 7 ) + 5}{2 \cdot 3}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{7 + 5}{2 \cdot 3}

Add the numbers:

7 + 5 = 12

= \frac{12}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{12}{6}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{12}{6} = 2

= 2

u = \frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 3} : \frac{1}{3}

\frac{- ( - 7 ) - 5}{2 \cdot 3}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{7 - 5}{2 \cdot 3}

Subtract the numbers:

7 - 5 = 2

= \frac{2}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{2}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{3}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 2, u = \frac{1}{3}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = 2, sin (x) = \frac{1}{3}

sin (x) = 2, sin (x) = \frac{1}{3}

sin (x) = 2 :

No Solution

sin (x) = 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (x) = \frac{1}{3} : x = arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn

sin (x) = \frac{1}{3}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = \frac{1}{3}

General solutions for

sin (x) = \frac{1}{3}

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

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{3}) + 2 πn
