cos^2(t)-2sin(t)-1=0

Solution

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

Solution

t = 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn

Degrees

t = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, t = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (t) = u

- u^{2} - 2 u = 0

- u^{2} - 2 u = 0 : u = - 2, u = 0

- u^{2} - 2 u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} - 2 u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = - 2, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 2 ) \pm ( - 2 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 1 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 2 ) \pm ( - 2 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 0}{2 ( - 1 )}

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

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

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

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 2^{2} + 0

2^{2} + 0 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0

= 2

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Add the numbers:

2 + 2 = 4

= \frac{4}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{4}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= - 2

u = \frac{- ( - 2 ) - 2}{2 ( - 1 )} : 0

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 2 = 0

= \frac{0}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= - 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 2, u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (t)

sin (t) = - 2, sin (t) = 0

sin (t) = - 2, sin (t) = 0

sin (t) = - 2 :

No Solution

sin (t) = - 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution

sin (t) = 0 : t = 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn

sin (t) = 0

t = 0 + 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn

t = 0 + 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn

Solve

t = 0 + 2 πn : t = 2 πn

t = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

t = 2 πn

t = 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

t = 2 πn, t = π + 2 πn
