cos^2(x)+5sin^2(x)=2

Solution

cos^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x) = 2

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x) = 2

Subtract

2

from both sides

cos^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x) - 2 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 2 + cos^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 2 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x)

Simplify

- 2 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x) : 4 sin^{2} (x) - 1

- 2 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x)

Add similar elements:

- sin^{2} (x) + 5 sin^{2} (x) = 4 sin^{2} (x)

= - 2 + 1 + 4 sin^{2} (x)

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 2 + 1 = - 1

= 4 sin^{2} (x) - 1

= 4 sin^{2} (x) - 1

- 1 + 4 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 + 4 sin^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

- 1 + 4 u^{2} = 0

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

- 1 + 4 u^{2} = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + 4 u^{2} = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + 4 u^{2} + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

4 u^{2} = 1

4 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

4

4 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 u ^{2}}{4} = \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{1}{4}, u = - \frac{1}{4}

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

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{1}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule

1 = 1

= \frac{1}{2}

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

- \frac{1}{4}

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{1}{4}

Apply radical rule:

assuming

a \geq 0, b \geq 0

= \frac{1}{4}

4 = 2

4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{1}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - \frac{1}{2}

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

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