8sin^2(x)=1

Solution

8 sin^{2} (x) = 1

Solution

x = 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.36136 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 20.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 159.29518 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 20.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 200.70481 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

8 sin^{2} (x) = 1

Solve by substitution

8 sin^{2} (x) = 1

Let:

sin (x) = u

8 u^{2} = 1

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

8 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

8

8 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

8

\frac{8 u ^{2}}{8} = \frac{1}{8}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{8}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{8}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = \frac{1}{8}, u = - \frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{4}
