For 0 ≤ θ < 2 π what are the solutions to sin^2(θ) =2sin^2(θ/2)

Recall the half-angle identity for sine,

sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos(x))/2

Then the given equation is identical to

sin²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1

Then we rewrite the equation as

1 - cos²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Factoring the left side, we have

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) = 1 - cos(θ)

and so

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) - (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

and we factor this further as

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ) - 1) = 0

which gives

cos(θ) (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

Then either

cos(θ) = 0   or   1 - cos(θ) = 0

cos(θ) = 0   or   cos(θ) = 1

[θ = arccos(0) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(0) + 2nπ]

…   or   [θ = arccos(1) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(1) + 2nπ]

(where n is any integer)

[θ = π/2 + 2nπ   or   θ = -π/2 + 2nπ]   or   [θ = 0 + 2nπ]

In the interval 0 ≤ θ < 2π, we get three solutions:

• first solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = π/2

• second solution set with n = 1   ⇒   θ = 3π/2

• third solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = 0

So, the first choice is correct.

What is the value of (4-2)^3-3X4
Mazyrski [523]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

3 x^{4}-8=0

<h2>Given: </h2>

(4-2)^{3}-3 x^{4}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this problem, we need to find the value of the given expression for which we need to simplify the given expression.

\Rightarrow(4-2)^{3}-3 x^{4}=0

We need to solve the numbers within the parentheses.

\Rightarrow(2)^{3}-3 x^{4}=0

We can bring the constant one side and variables another side.

\Rightarrow 8=3 x^{4}

Taking fourth root for ‘8’ and ‘3’ will give numbers which are very tough to solve further.

Since, we cannot solve the above equation further. The value of the given equation remains,

\therefore 3 x^{4}-8=0

How did I get this????
hjlf
Basically get the total before discount and multiply it by the percentage so 12•0.15=1.8
which means you save 1.8, so then you subtract 12-1.8 and you receive 10.2
