cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)-5sin(x)=3

Solution

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) = 3

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) = 3

Subtract

3

from both sides

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 3 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x)

Simplify

- 3 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) : - 2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x) - 2

- 3 + 1 - sin^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x)

Add similar elements:

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

= - 3 + 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 sin (x)

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 3 + 1 = - 2

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

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

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

- 2 - 2 u^{2} - 5 u = 0

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

- 2 - 2 u^{2} - 5 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u - 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 2 u^{2} - 5 u - 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 2, b = - 5, c = - 2

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) ( - 2 )}{2 ( - 2 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 ) ( - 2 )}{2 ( - 2 )}

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

(- 5)^{2} - 4 (- 2) (- 2)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 5)^{2} = 5^{2}

= 5^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 16

= 5^{2} - 16

5^{2} = 25

= 25 - 16

Subtract the numbers:

25 - 16 = 9

= 9

Factor the number:

9 = 3^{2}

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

3^{2} = 3

= 3

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Add the numbers:

5 + 3 = 8

= \frac{8}{- 2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{8}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{8}{4}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{4} = 2

= - 2

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

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

Remove parentheses:

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 3 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{- 4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

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

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

sin (x) = - 2 :

No Solution

sin (x) = - 2

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1
