sin^2(x)+2sin(x)=-1

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (x) = u

u^{2} + 2 u = - 1

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

u^{2} + 2 u = - 1

Move

1

to the left side

u^{2} + 2 u = - 1

Add

1

to both sides

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

Simplify

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

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

Solve with the quadratic formula

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

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = 2, c = 1

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

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

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 0

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

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 4

= 2^{2} - 4

2^{2} = 4

= 4 - 4

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 4 = 0

= 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 0}{2 \cdot 1}

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

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 2}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

u = - 1

The solution to the quadratic equation is:

u = - 1

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = - 1

sin (x) = - 1

sin (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = - 1
