2 sin2 x + sin x = 1.

Letting s = sin x, we have:

2s2 + s - 1 = (2s - 1)(s + 1) = 0; whence,

sin x = ½ or -1, and

x = 30° or 150° or 270°.

Or, if you prefer,

x = π/6 or 5π/6 or 3π/2.

If a cos theta plus b sin theta equals 8 and a sin theta - b cos theta equals 5 show that a squared plus b squared equals 89?

There is a hint to how to solve this in what is required to be shown: a and b are both squared.Ifa cos θ + b sin θ = 8a sin θ - b cos θ = 5then square both sides of each to get:a² cos² θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ + b² sin² θ = 64a² sin² θ - 2ab sin θ cos θ + b² cos² θ = 25Now add the two together:a² cos² θ + a² sin² θ + b² sin² θ + b² cos² θ = 89→ a²(cos² θ + sin² θ) + b² (sin² θ + cos² θ) = 89using cos² θ + sin² θ = 1→ a² + b² = 89

How do you prove that the sin over one minus the cosine minus one plus the cosine over the sine equals zero?

Multiply both sides by sin(1-cos) and you lose the denominators and get (sin squared) minus 1+cos times 1-cos. Then multiply out (i.e. expand) 1+cos times 1-cos, which will of course give the difference of two squares: 1 - (cos squared). (because the cross terms cancel out.) (This is diff of 2 squares because 1 is the square of 1.) And so you get (sin squared) - (1 - (cos squared)) = (sin squared) + (cos squared) - 1. Then from basic trig we know that (sin squared) + (cos squared) = 1, so this is 0.
