If x satisfies the equation 2^(sin^2 x )+5 * 2^(cos^2 x)=7 where -pie
@satellite73 help
sorry for the mistake plz look the question now
looks odd
2 to the power of (sin^...)?
it is sin^2 (x)
edit it looks confusing
is this really the equation?\[2^{\sin^2(x)}+5\times2^{\cos^2(x)}=7\]
unless that is right :)
yes @asnaseer u r correct
is this your equation? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+2%5E%28sin%5E2+x+%29%2B5+*+2%5E%28cos%5E2+x%29%3D1
yes
The answer should be 1 or 11
both timo and myself cannot be correct - which one has the correct equation?
he has ...=1 I have ...=7
=7
and you are 100% sure your question is correct?
yes
I copied the ops question directly to wolfram to show it in what humans will see it as.
ok, so we are given:\[2^{\sin^2(x)}+5\times2^{\cos^2(x)}=7\]now replace \(\cos^2(x)=1-\sin^2(x)\) to get:\[2^{\sin^2(x)}+5\times2^{1-\sin^2(x)}=7\]therefore:\[2^{\sin^2(x)}+5\times\frac{2^1}{2^{\sin^2(x)}}=7\]\[2^{\sin^2(x)}+\frac{10}{2^{\sin^2(x)}}=7\]
now multiply both sides by \(2^{\sin^2(x)}\) to get:\[2^{\sin^4(x)}+10=7\times2^{\sin^2(x)}\]
oops it is this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=+2%5E%28sin%5E2+x+%29%2B5+*+2%5E%28cos%5E2+x%29%3D7
ok.......then
let:\[y=\sin^2(x)\]so we get:\[y^2+10=7y\]\[y^2-7y+10=0\]\[(y-5)(y-2)=0\]so:\[y=5\]or\[y=2\]
therefore:\[\sin^2(x)=5\]or\[\sin^2(x)=2\]
we have to find this 2sin^2 x - 5sinx +4 =?
Try \[x = \pm \frac{\pi }{2} \]
but these solutions do not lead to real solutions as:\[-1\le\sin(x)\le1\]
did I make a mistake in the algebra above?
I think maybe. It is 2^ sin^2x that is equal to 5 isn't it?
so y =2^sin^2x
I did make a mistake, instead of:\[2^{\sin^4(x)}+10=7\times2^{\sin^2(x)}\]I should have written:\[2^{2\sin^2(x)}+10=7\times2^{\sin^2(x)}\]and the substitution should have been:\[y=2^{\sin^2(x)}\]as @Mertsj spotted
so we then get:\[2^{\sin^2(x)}=2\text{ or }5\]therefore:\[\sin^2(x)=1\text{ or }\log_2(5)\]
therefore only real solution is:\[\sin^2(x)=1\]therefore:\[2\sin^2(x) - 5\sin(x) +4=2-5+4=1\]
But just a minute. If sin^2x = 1 then sinx could also be -1 which would give 11 as the asker stated.
although we could also use:\[\sin(x)=-1\]
snap!
so solutions are 1 or 11
thx for your valuable help @Mertsj
Oh gees, asnaseer, you are the brains of the outfit. It would have taken me an hour to figure this out.
I don't think so :) we all play a valuable part on this site :)
True enough
sinx=+1 or-1. Put this value.|dw:1338167520642:dw|
