3sin^2(x)=-7sin(x)-4,0<= x<= 2pi

Solution

3 sin^{2} (x) = - 7 sin (x) - 4, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2}

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ}

Solution steps

3 sin^{2} (x) = - 7 sin (x) - 4, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solve by substitution

3 sin^{2} (x) = - 7 sin (x) - 4

Let:

sin (x) = u

3 u^{2} = - 7 u - 4

3 u^{2} = - 7 u - 4 : u = - 1, u = - \frac{4}{3}

3 u^{2} = - 7 u - 4

Move

4

to the left side

3 u^{2} = - 7 u - 4

Add

4

to both sides

3 u^{2} + 4 = - 7 u - 4 + 4

Simplify

3 u^{2} + 4 = - 7 u

3 u^{2} + 4 = - 7 u

Move

7 u

to the left side

3 u^{2} + 4 = - 7 u

Add

7 u

to both sides

3 u^{2} + 4 + 7 u = - 7 u + 7 u

Simplify

3 u^{2} + 4 + 7 u = 0

3 u^{2} + 4 + 7 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

3 u^{2} + 7 u + 4 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

3 u^{2} + 7 u + 4 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 3, b = 7, c = 4

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 7 \pm 7 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot 3}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 7 \pm 7 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot 3}

7^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 1

7^{2} - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 = 48

= 7^{2} - 48

7^{2} = 49

= 49 - 48

Subtract the numbers:

49 - 48 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 7 \pm 1}{2 \cdot 3}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 7 + 1}{2 \cdot 3}, u_{2} = \frac{- 7 - 1}{2 \cdot 3}

u = \frac{- 7 + 1}{2 \cdot 3} : - 1

\frac{- 7 + 1}{2 \cdot 3}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 7 + 1 = - 6

= \frac{- 6}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{- 6}{6}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{6}{6}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

u = \frac{- 7 - 1}{2 \cdot 3} : - \frac{4}{3}

\frac{- 7 - 1}{2 \cdot 3}

Subtract the numbers:

- 7 - 1 = - 8

= \frac{- 8}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{- 8}{6}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{8}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{4}{3}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 1, u = - \frac{4}{3}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3}

sin (x) = - 1, sin (x) = - \frac{4}{3}

sin (x) = - 1, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π : x = \frac{3 π}{2}

sin (x) = - 1, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π
