8sin^2(x)+2sin(x)-3=0

Solution

8 sin^{2} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = - 0.84806 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.84806 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 48.59037 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 228.59037 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

8 sin^{2} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Solve by substitution

8 sin^{2} (x) + 2 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

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

8 u^{2} + 2 u - 3 = 0 : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{3}{4}

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 8, b = 2, c = - 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 8 ( - 3 )}{2 \cdot 8}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 8 ( - 3 )}{2 \cdot 8}

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 8 (- 3) = 10

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 8 (- 3)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 2^{2} + 4 \cdot 8 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 8 \cdot 3 = 96

= 2^{2} + 96

2^{2} = 4

= 4 + 96

Add the numbers:

4 + 96 = 100

= 100

Factor the number:

100 = 1 0^{2}

= 1 0^{2}

Apply radical rule:

1 0^{2} = 10

= 10

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 10}{2 \cdot 8}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 2 + 10}{2 \cdot 8}, u_{2} = \frac{- 2 - 10}{2 \cdot 8}

u = \frac{- 2 + 10}{2 \cdot 8} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 2 + 10}{2 \cdot 8}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 2 + 10 = 8

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 8 = 16

= \frac{8}{16}

Cancel the common factor:

8

= \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 2 - 10}{2 \cdot 8} : - \frac{3}{4}

\frac{- 2 - 10}{2 \cdot 8}

Subtract the numbers:

- 2 - 10 = - 12

= \frac{- 12}{2 \cdot 8}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 8 = 16

= \frac{- 12}{16}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{12}{16}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= - \frac{3}{4}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

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

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - \frac{3}{4}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - \frac{3}{4}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2} : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn

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

Apply trig inverse properties

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

General solutions for

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

sin (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (- a) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (a) + 2 πn
