solve this question please:
ya agreed
id throw it in wolfram
not so much stumped as i am lazy
use sin^2 x= 1-cos^2 x
i did that but i can't simplify further
then 16^(1-cos^2 x) = 16^1 / 16^{cos^2 x}
then just put 16 ^{cos^2 x} = y
and u get a quadratic in y
thank you!
can u solve it now ?
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
nice one @hartnn
\[16^{\sin ^{2}x} = 2,8 \]?
yes.
now expressing 16 and 8 as powers of 2 and comparing the exponents
hmm... he went offline...
yes i got it x= 30,60,330,300 (degrees)
those are correct values :)
