Capitolo 3, Problema 65
In Exercises 63–84, use an identity to solve each equation on the interval [0, 2𝝅). sin² x - 2 cos x - 2 = 0
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Start by recalling the Pythagorean identity: \(\sin^{2} x = 1 - \cos^{2} x\). This allows us to rewrite the equation in terms of \(\cos x\) only.
Substitute \(\sin^{2} x\) with \(1 - \cos^{2} x\) in the equation: \(1 - \cos^{2} x - 2 \cos x - 2 = 0\).
Simplify the equation by combining like terms: \(-\cos^{2} x - 2 \cos x + (1 - 2) = 0\), which simplifies to \(-\cos^{2} x - 2 \cos x - 1 = 0\).
Multiply the entire equation by \(-1\) to make the quadratic term positive: \(\cos^{2} x + 2 \cos x + 1 = 0\).
Recognize this as a quadratic equation in \(\cos x\). Solve for \(\cos x\) using factoring or the quadratic formula, then find all \(x\) in \([0, 2\pi)\) that satisfy the solutions for \(\cos x\).
