sin^2(x)-sin(x)cos(x)=0

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Factor

sin^{2} (x) - sin (x) cos (x) : sin (x) (sin (x) - cos (x))

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

sin^{2} (x) = sin (x) sin (x)

= sin (x) sin (x) - sin (x) cos (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

= sin (x) (sin (x) - cos (x))

sin (x) (sin (x) - cos (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{sin ( x ) - cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 1 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) - 1 = 0

tan (x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

tan (x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

tan (x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

tan (x) = 1

tan (x) = 1

tan (x) = 1
