−12cos(2x)+12sin(x)>0
Use the following identity: cos(2x)=1−2sin2(x)−12(1−2sin2(x))+12sin(x)>0
Let: u=sin(x)−12(1−2u2)+12u>0
−12(1−2u2)+12u>0:u<−1oru>21​
−12(1−2u2)+12u>0
Rewrite in standard form
−12(1−2u2)+12u>0
Expand −12(1−2u2)+12u:−12+24u2+12u
−12(1−2u2)+12u
Expand −12(1−2u2):−12+24u2
−12(1−2u2)
Apply the distributive law: a(b−c)=ab−aca=−12,b=1,c=2u2=−12⋅1−(−12)⋅2u2
Apply minus-plus rules−(−a)=a=−12⋅1+12⋅2u2
Simplify −12⋅1+12⋅2u2:−12+24u2
−12⋅1+12⋅2u2
Multiply the numbers: 12⋅1=12=−12+12⋅2u2
Multiply the numbers: 12⋅2=24=−12+24u2
=−12+24u2
=−12+24u2+12u
−12+24u2+12u>0
Divide both sides by 12−1212​+1224u2​+1212u​>120​
