solve this question please:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya agreed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

id throw it in wolfram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not so much stumped as i am lazy

hartnn (hartnn):

use sin^2 x= 1-cos^2 x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did that but i can't simplify further

hartnn (hartnn):

then 16^(1-cos^2 x) = 16^1 / 16^{cos^2 x}

hartnn (hartnn):

then just put 16 ^{cos^2 x} = y

hartnn (hartnn):

and u get a quadratic in y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

hartnn (hartnn):

can u solve it now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, by exponential rules,x^mx^n = x^(m+n) so 16^(sin^2 x cos^2 x) = 10 natural log of both sides, pull out the exponent, divide by ln(16 sin^2 x times cos^2 x = ln10/ln16 sin^2cos^2 = (1/4)sin^2 (2x) (1/4)sin^2 (2x) = ln10/ln16 multiply both sides by 4, square root both sides, inverse sine, and divide by 2 hope its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice one @hartnn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[16^{\sin ^{2}x} = 2,8 \]?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

now expressing 16 and 8 as powers of 2 and comparing the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm... he went offline...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i got it x= 30,60,330,300 (degrees)

hartnn (hartnn):

those are correct values :)
