2csc^2(x)=1+cos(x)

Solution

2 csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cos (x)

Solution

No Solution for x \in R

Solution steps

2 csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cos (x)

Subtract

1 + cos (x)

from both sides

2 csc^{2} (x) - 1 - cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 - cos (x) + 2 csc^{2} (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

csc (x) = \frac{1}{sin ( x )}

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

2 (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} = \frac{2}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

2 (\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2}

(\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2} = \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

(\frac{1}{sin ( x )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= \frac{2}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 1 - cos (x) + \frac{2}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

- 1 - cos (x) + \frac{2}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )} = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 - cos (x) + \frac{2}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )} = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

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

- 1 - u + \frac{2}{1 - u ^{2}} = 0 : u \approx - 1.83928 \dots

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

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

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

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

- 1 \cdot (1 - u^{2}) - u (1 - u^{2}) + \frac{2}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) = 0 \cdot (1 - u^{2})

Simplify

- 1 \cdot (1 - u^{2}) - u (1 - u^{2}) + \frac{2}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) = 0 \cdot (1 - u^{2})

Simplify

- 1 \cdot (1 - u^{2}) : - (1 - u^{2})

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

Multiply:

1 \cdot (1 - u^{2}) = (1 - u^{2})

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

Simplify

\frac{2}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) : 2

\frac{2}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2})

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{2 ( 1 - u ^{2} )}{1 - u ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

1 - u^{2}

= 2

Simplify

0 \cdot (1 - u^{2}) : 0

0 \cdot (1 - u^{2})

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

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

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

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

Solve

- (1 - u^{2}) - u (1 - u^{2}) + 2 = 0 : u \approx - 1.83928 \dots

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

Expand

- (1 - u^{2}) - u (1 - u^{2}) + 2 : u^{3} + u^{2} - u + 1

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

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

- (1 - u^{2})

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - 1 + u^{2}

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

Expand

- u (1 - u^{2}) : - u + u^{3}

- u (1 - u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - u, b = 1, c = u^{2}

= - u \cdot 1 - (- u) u^{2}

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 1 \cdot u + u^{2} u

Simplify

- 1 \cdot u + u^{2} u : - u + u^{3}

- 1 \cdot u + u^{2} u

1 \cdot u = u

1 \cdot u

Multiply:

1 \cdot u = u

= u

u^{2} u = u^{3}

u^{2} u

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

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

= u^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers:

2 + 1 = 3

= u^{3}

= - u + u^{3}

= - u + u^{3}

= - 1 + u^{2} - u + u^{3} + 2

Simplify

- 1 + u^{2} - u + u^{3} + 2 : u^{3} + u^{2} - u + 1

- 1 + u^{2} - u + u^{3} + 2

Group like terms

= u^{3} + u^{2} - u - 1 + 2

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 2 = 1

= u^{3} + u^{2} - u + 1

= u^{3} + u^{2} - u + 1

u^{3} + u^{2} - u + 1 = 0

to the right side

1 - u^{2} = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

- u^{2} = - 1

- u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

- u^{2} = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

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

Simplify

u^{2} = 1

u^{2} = 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = 1, u = - 1

1 = 1

Apply radical rule:

1 = 1

Apply radical rule:

1 = 1

1 = 1

= - 1

u = 1, u = - 1

The following points are undefined

u = 1, u = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

u \approx - 1.83928 \dots

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) \approx - 1.83928 \dots

cos (x) \approx - 1.83928 \dots

cos (x) = - 1.83928 \dots :

No Solution

cos (x) = - 1.83928 \dots

- 1 \leq cos (x) \leq 1

No Solution
