-sin(2θ)-cos(4θ)=0

Solution

- sin (2 θ) - cos (4 θ) = 0

Solution

θ = \frac{π + 4 πn}{4}, θ = \frac{7 π + 12 πn}{12}, θ = \frac{11 π + 12 πn}{12}

Degrees

θ = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 10 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 16 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- sin (2 θ) - cos (4 θ) = 0

Let:

u = 2 θ

- sin (u) - cos (2 u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (2 u) - sin (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= - (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) - sin (u)

- (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) : - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u)

- (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u))

Distribute parentheses

= - (1) - (- 2 sin^{2} (u))

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u)

= - 1 + 2 sin^{2} (u) - sin (u)

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (u) = u

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

- 1 - u + 2 u^{2} = 0 : u = 1, u = - \frac{1}{2}

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

Write in the standard form

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = - 1, c = - 1

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

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

(- 1)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 (- 1) = 3

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 8

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 8

= 8

= 1 + 8

Add the numbers:

1 + 8 = 9

= 9

Factor the number:

9 = 3^{2}

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

3^{2} = 3

= 3

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

Separate the solutions

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

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

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{1 + 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

1 + 3 = 4

= \frac{4}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 2} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 3 = - 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{- 2}{4}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= - \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 1, u = - \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (u)

sin (u) = 1, sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (u) = 1, sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (u) = 1 : u = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (u) = 1
