sin^2(x)+8sin(x)-1=0

Solution

sin^{2} (x) + 8 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Solution

x = 0.12341 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.12341 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 7.07137 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 172.92862 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin^{2} (x) + 8 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

sin^{2} (x) + 8 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

u^{2} + 8 u - 1 = 0

u^{2} + 8 u - 1 = 0 : u = - 4 + 17, u = - 4 - 17

u^{2} + 8 u - 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} + 8 u - 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = 8, c = - 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 8 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot ( - 1 )}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 8 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot ( - 1 )}{2 \cdot 1}

8^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (- 1) = 217

8^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (- 1)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 8^{2} + 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

= 8^{2} + 4

8^{2} = 64

= 64 + 4

Add the numbers:

64 + 4 = 68

= 68

Prime factorization of

68 : 2^{2} \cdot 17

68

68

divides by

268 = 34 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 34

34

divides by

234 = 17 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 17

2, 17

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 17

= 2^{2} \cdot 17

= 2^{2} \cdot 17

Apply radical rule:

= 17 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 217

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 8 \pm 2 17}{2 \cdot 1}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 8 + 2 17}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- 8 - 2 17}{2 \cdot 1}

u = \frac{- 8 + 2 17}{2 \cdot 1} : - 4 + 17

\frac{- 8 + 2 17}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 8 + 2 17}{2}

Factor

- 8 + 217 : 2 (- 4 + 17)

- 8 + 217

Rewrite as

= - 2 \cdot 4 + 217

Factor out common term

2

= 2 (- 4 + 17)

= \frac{2 ( - 4 + 17 )}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= - 4 + 17

u = \frac{- 8 - 2 17}{2 \cdot 1} : - 4 - 17

\frac{- 8 - 2 17}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 8 - 2 17}{2}

Factor

- 8 - 217 : - 2 (4 + 17)

- 8 - 217

Rewrite as

= - 2 \cdot 4 - 217

Factor out common term

2

= - 2 (4 + 17)

= - \frac{2 ( 4 + 17 )}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= - (4 + 17)

Negate

- (4 + 17) = - 4 - 17

= - 4 - 17

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 4 + 17, u = - 4 - 17

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 4 + 17, sin (x) = - 4 - 17

sin (x) = - 4 + 17, sin (x) = - 4 - 17

sin (x) = - 4 + 17 : x = arcsin (- 4 + 17) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (- 4 + 17) + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 4 + 17

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = - 4 + 17
