Find all solutions in the interval [0, 2π). 4 sin2x - 4 sin x + 1 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi/6, 5pi/6 pi/6, 11pi/6 pi/3, 5pi/3 7pi/6, 11pi/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that 4sin(2x), or 4sin^2(x). If it is the sin squared, can you not let sin(x) = u, solve it like a quadratic, back sub in sin(x) for u, find the angles that correspond to those values, and then check that they fall within your given interval?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 sin^2 x - 4 sin x +1 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, yeah, so can you follow my suggestion or would you like to see some of it worked?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just need the answer like soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hrm, we better learn how to solve it then! Okay, so if we let sin(x) = u, what will your equation look like then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking 4u^2 - 4u + 1 = 0. How does that look?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, now we need to solve this quadratic. Let me know what you come up with.
