2 sin(x)2 - sin(x) - 1 = 0

Let Y=sin(x) then the equation is 2*Y2 - Y - 1 =0

Delta = (-1 * -1) - 4 * 2 * -1 = 9

Y = (1 + sqrt(9)) / 4 or Y = (1 - sqrt(9)) / 4

Y = 1 or Y = -1/2

Then x = Arcsin(Y) and (in radians) x = Arcsin(1) = Pi/2 +2*k*Pi or x=Arcsin(-1/2) = -Pi/6 + 2*k*Pi

where k is an integer

How do you solve 1 minus cosx divided by sinx plus sinx divided by 1 minus cosx to get 2cscx?

(1-cosx)/sinx + sinx/(1- cosx) = [(1 - cosx)*(1 - cosx) + sinx*sinx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [1 - 2cosx + cos2x + sin2x]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2 - 2cosx]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = [2*(1-cosx)]/[sinx*(1-cosx)] = 2/sinx = 2cosecx


Solve 6sinx equals 1 plus 9sinx algebraically over the domain 0 is greater than or equal to x is less than 2pi?

6*sinx = 1 + 9*sinx => 3*sinx = -1 => sinx = -1/3Let f(x) = sinx + 1/3then the solution to sinx = -1/3 is the zero of f(x)f'(x) = cosxUsing Newton-Raphson, the solutions are x = 3.4814 and 5.9480It would have been simpler to solve it using trigonometry, but the question specified an algebraic solution.

How do you express the term 1-csc squared x all over sin x cot x to cos x?

(1 - csc2x)/(sinx*cotx) = -cot2x/sinxcotx = -cotx/sinx = -(cosx/sinx)/sinx = -cosx/sin2x = -cosx/(1-cos2x) = cosx/(cos2x - 1)


Why is 2 cosx sinx 2 sinx?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. Also use ^ to indicate powers (eg x-squared = x^2).

What is sine squared?

Answer 1 Put simply, sine squared is sinX x sinX. However, sine is a function, so the real question must be 'what is sinx squared' or 'what is sin squared x': 'Sin(x) squared' would be sin(x^2), i.e. the 'x' is squared before performing the function sin. 'Sin squared x' would be sin^2(x) i.e. sin squared times sin squared: sin(x) x sin(x). This can also be written as (sinx)^2 but means exactly the same. Answer 2 Sine squared is sin^2(x). If the power was placed like this sin(x)^2, then the X is what is being squared. If it's sin^2(x) it's telling you they want sin(x) times sin(x).

How do you solve csc x-sin x equals cos x cot x?

cscx-sinx=(cosx)(cotx) 1/sinx-sinx=(cosx)(cosx/sinx) (1/sinx)-(sin^2x/sinx)=cos^2x/sinx cos^2x/sinx=cos^2x/sinx Therefore LS=RS You have to remember some trig identities when answering these questions. In this case, you need to recall that sin^2x+cos^2x=1. Also, always switch tanx cotx cscx secx in terms of sinx and cosx.
