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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

sin^{2} (x)

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

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

cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

u + u^{2} = 0

u + u^{2} = 0 : u = 0, u = - 1

u + u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

u^{2} + u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} + u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = 1, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 1 \pm 1 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 1 \pm 1 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

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

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

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 1 - 0

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 0 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

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

Separate the solutions

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

u = \frac{- 1 + 1}{2 \cdot 1} : 0

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

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 1 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= 0

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 1 = - 2

= \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

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 0, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = cos (x)

cos (x) = 0, cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = 0, cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (x) = 0
