3sin(x)+cos^2(x)=2

Solution

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

Solution

x = 0.39192 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.39192 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 22.45551 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 157.54448 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

2

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 + cos^{2} (x) + 3 sin (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 2 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) + 3 sin (x)

Simplify

= 3 sin (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 1

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

- 1 - u^{2} + 3 u = 0 : u = \frac{3 - 5}{2}, u = \frac{3 + 5}{2}

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

Write in the standard form

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

- u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} + 3 u - 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = 3, c = - 1

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

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

3^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 1) = 5

3^{2} - 4 (- 1) (- 1)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 3^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

= 3^{2} - 4

3^{2} = 9

= 9 - 4

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 4 = 5

= 5

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- 3 + 5}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 3 + 5}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 3 + 5}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

- 3 + 5 = - (3 - 5)

= \frac{3 - 5}{2}

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

\frac{- 3 - 5}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 3 - 5}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

- 3 - 5 = - (3 + 5)

= \frac{3 + 5}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{3 - 5}{2}, u = \frac{3 + 5}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2}, sin (x) = \frac{3 + 5}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2}, sin (x) = \frac{3 + 5}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2} : x = arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2}

General solutions for

sin (x) = \frac{3 - 5}{2}

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

x = arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{3 - 5}{2}) + 2 πn
