sin^2(x)= 1/4 ,0<= x<= 2pi

Solution

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{4}, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{4}, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solve by substitution

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{4}

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

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

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}

\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}

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}, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π : x = \frac{π}{6}, x = \frac{5 π}{6}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π
