Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). 4 sin2 x - 4 sin x + 1 = 0
Solution:
Using the Pythagoras theorem
x2 + y2 = r2
Here
cos2 a + sin2 a = 1
cot2 a + 1 = cosec2 a
1 + tan2 a = sec2 a
From the equation 4 sin2 x - 4 sin x + 1 = 0
We know that sin x = a
So the equation is
4a2 - 4a + 1 = 0
Divide the equation by 4
a2 - a + 1/4 = 0
(a - 1/2) (a - 1/2) = 0
a = 1/2
We get
sin x = 1/2
As the interval between 0 to 2π and positive sine values are in 1st and 2nd quadrants,
x values that meet are 30° and 150° or π/6 and 5/6 π
Therefore, the solutions are 30° and 150° or π/6 and 5/6 π.
Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). 4 sin2 x - 4 sin x + 1 = 0
Summary:
All solutions in the interval [0, 2π) for 4 sin2 x - 4 sin x + 1 = 0 are 30° and 150° or π/6 and 5/6 π.
