Solve sin² x = sin x.

The answer is

x = 0 or π/2 or π.

Here's how you can find this result:

Let s = sin x.

Then, we have,

s² - s = 0; whence,

s(s - 1) = 0.

Now, when the product of two numbers is zero, then one or other of them must equal zero.

Hence, either,

s = 0

OR

s - 1 = 0; that is,

sin x = 1 or 0.

For 0 ≤ x < 360°,

x = 0° or 90° or 180°;

those being the only angles whose sine equals either 1 or 0.

In term of radian measure, x = 0 or π/2 or π.

How do you solve 2 sin squared x?

Do sin(x), square it, and then multiply it by two.


How do you solve sin x multiplied to Sin squared x is equal to 1?

sin(x)*sin2(x) = 1 so sin3(x) = 1 so that sin(x) = cuberoot(1) = 1 then x = pi/2 + n*pi where n is an integer.


What does 1 - cos squared equal?

Note that an angle should always be specified - for example, 1 - cos square x. Due to the Pythagorean formula, this can be simplified as sin square x. Note that sin square x is a shortcut of (sin x) squared.


Does cos squared x over sin squared x equal cot squared x?

Yes. Except where sin x = 0, because then you would be dividing by zero so the quotient is undefined.


What does cos squared x - Sin squared x equal?

2 x cosine squared x -1 which also equals cos (2x)

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).


What is sin squared x minus cos squared x?

Sin squared, cos squared...you removed the x in the equation.


What is sin squared x equal to?

sin x times sin x. or 1/cosec2(x) or 1 - cos2(x) or tan2(x)*cos2(x) etc, etc.


Does sin squared x plus cos squared x equal 1?

Yes. 'sin2x + cos2x = 1' is one of the most basic identities in trigonometry.


What does Sin squared x - Cos squared x equal?

1 - 2cos2(x) and also 2sin2(x) - 1 Take your choice. Use whichever one is more convenient.
