Amanita, let's carefully solve the equation given in the green rectangle:
2cos2x+5sinx=4,0≤x≤2π
Here’s the step-by-step plan:
Step 1: Express everything in terms of sinx
We know that cos2x=1−sin2x. This substitution will help us turn the equation into a quadratic in terms of sinx.
Step 2: Substitute and simplify
Replace cos2x with 1−sin2x in the equation and simplify to get a standard quadratic equation in sinx.
Step 3: Solve the quadratic equation
Let y=sinx. Solve the quadratic equation for y.
Step 4: Find the values of x
For each solution y, find all x in the interval 0≤x≤2π such that sinx=y.
Step 5: State the final solutions
List all values of x that satisfy the original equation in the given interval.
Let's begin with Step 1 and Step 2.
Substitute cos2x=1−sin2x into the equation:
2(1−sin2x)+5sinx=4
Now, let's expand and simplify:
2−2sin2x+5sinx=4
−2sin2x+5sinx+2−4=0
−2sin2x+5sinx−2=0
Multiply both sides by −1 to make the quadratic standard:
2sin2x−5sinx+2=0
Let y=sinx:
2y2−5y+2=0
Now, let's solve this quadratic equation for y.
Amanita, the solutions to the quadratic equation are:
y=21andy=2
Recall that y=sinx. However, the sine function only takes values between −1 and 1. So, sinx=2 is not possible.
Now, let's focus on the valid solution:
sinx=21
Next, let's find all values of x in the interval 0≤x≤2π such that sinx=21.
The general solution for sinx=21 is:
x=arcsin(21)orx=π−arcsin(21)
Let's calculate these values.
Amanita, let's clarify the values:
The value of arcsin(21) is 6π.
So, the two solutions for x in the interval 0≤x≤2π are:
x1=6π
x2=π−6π=65π
Therefore, the solutions to the equation 2cos2x+5sinx=4 for 0≤x≤2π are:
x=6π,x=65π
