First, distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation so you get 4a-26. Then add 26 to both sides so you have 7a+21 =4a. Subtract 7a and get 21 = -3a. Divide by -3 and your final answer is -7.

Sin^2(x/2)=sin^2x <br> Find the value of x

Veronika [31]

$\sin^2\dfrac x2=\sin^2x$
$\dfrac{1-\cos x}2=1-\cos^2x$
$1-\cos x=2-2\cos^2x$
$2\cos^2x-\cos x-1=0$
$(2\cos x+1)(\cos x-1)=0$
$\implies\begin{cases}2\cos x+1=0\\\cos x-1=0\end{cases}$ $\implies\begin{cases}\cos x=-\frac12\\\cos x=1\end{cases}$

The first case occurs in $0\le x$ for $x=\dfrac{2\pi}3$ and $x=\dfrac{4\pi}3$ . Extending the domain to account for all real $x$ , we have this happening for $x=\dfrac{2\pi}3+2n\pi$ and $\dfrac{4\pi}3+2n\pi$ , where $n\in\mathbb Z$ .

The second case occurs in $0\le x$ when $x=0$ , and extending to all reals we have $x=2n\pi$ for $n\in\mathbb Z$ , i.e. any even multiple of $\pi$ .
