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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

1 - sin (x) + 3 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : - 3 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 4

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

Expand

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

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 3, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

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

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

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

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

Simplify

1 - sin (x) + 3 - 3 sin^{2} (x) : - 3 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 4

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

Group like terms

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

Add the numbers:

1 + 3 = 4

= - 3 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 4

= - 3 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 4

= - 3 sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) + 4

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

4 - u - 3 u^{2} = 0

4 - u - 3 u^{2} = 0 : u = - \frac{4}{3}, u = 1

4 - u - 3 u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 3, b = - 1, c = 4

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

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

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 3) \cdot 4 = 7

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 1)^{2} + 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 48

4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 48

= 48

= 1 + 48

Add the numbers:

1 + 48 = 49

= 49

Factor the number:

49 = 7^{2}

= 7^{2}

Apply radical rule:

7^{2} = 7

= 7

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) + 7}{2 ( - 3 )} : - \frac{4}{3}

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 7}{2 ( - 3 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{1 + 7}{- 2 \cdot 3}

Add the numbers:

1 + 7 = 8

= \frac{8}{- 2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{8}{- 6}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{8}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{4}{3}

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 7}{2 ( - 3 )}

Remove parentheses:

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

= \frac{1 - 7}{- 2 \cdot 3}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 7 = - 6

= \frac{- 6}{- 2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{- 6}{- 6}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{6}{6}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{4}{3}, u = 1

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3}, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3}, sin (x) = 1

sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3} :

No Solution

sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3}

- 1 \leq sin (x) \leq 1

No Solution
