Find all solutions of the equation 2sin2x−cosx=1 in the interval [0,2π), what is x?
1 answer:
This is a little it hard... I am wondering if others have a better way to solve it.
=============================
2sin2x−cosx=1
4sinxcosx = 1 + cosx
16sin^2xcos^2x = 1 + 2cosx + cos^2x
16(1 - cos^2x)cos^2x = 1 + 2cosx + cos^2x
16cos^2x - 16cos^4x = 1 + 2cosx + cos^2x
16cos^4x - 15cos^2x + 2cosx + 1 = 0
let cosx = Y
16Y^4 - 15Y^2 + 2Y + 1 = 0
(Y + 1)(16Y^3 - 16Y^2 + Y + 1) = 0
there are four values for Y, -1, -0.2, 0.367, 0.836.
Then you solve for Y.
For example, Y = -1 means cosx = -1, x = π.

Answer:
Q1: 77°, Q2: 103°, Q3: 257°, Q4: 283°
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: Q1 = Quadrant 1
Q1: 77°
Q2: 180° - 77° = 103°
Q3: 180° + 77° = 257°
Q4: 360° - 77° = 283°
