sin^2(x)= 1/8

Solution

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{8}

Solution

x = 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 20.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 159.29518 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 20.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 200.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{8}

Solve by substitution

sin^{2} (x) = \frac{1}{8}

Let:

sin (x) = u

u^{2} = \frac{1}{8}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{8} : u = \frac{2}{4}, u = - \frac{2}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{8}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = \frac{1}{8}, u = - \frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{4}
