step by step please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
convert cos^2 x into sin^2 x then take sin x =t solve the quad then substitue t =sin x AND get ur soln
AM NOT GIVING OUT THE WHOLE SOLUTION
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[1-\sin ^{2}x - 5 \sin x + 5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u r going r8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then, \[-\sin ^2 x -5 sinx +6\]

then, \[-(sinx - 1)(\sin x+6)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you solve sin x =-1 and sin x=6 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which would be 2pi and pi?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right and sinx cant be 6 implies sinx to be 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im lost there

why does it do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
coz sin graph is confined between -1 and 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, so if it is 6 i thought it was undefined...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yess u did that good
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then why would sin x =6 be 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin x could be 1 or 6......
we cant choose 6 as it solution coz sin has range of [-1,1] so the only soln left is sin x=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now u get it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be Pi/2 +2npi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but at the beginning of it you have -(sin x-1)(sin x +6) what do u do with the negative in the front?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
general soln is diff from this

OpenStudy (anonymous):
because sin x can't equal 6 so that would be thrown out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk what you mean
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no prob of negative sign coz of zero on other side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when we write soln in term of n... then its called the general soln and that is diff from urs

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so??? it would be what? just +npi? or just pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = nπ + (-1)ⁿ.pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why would it be a negative pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont get that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what you are saying

OpenStudy (anonymous):
it looks to me what you just sent me it is -1pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or is it just pi/2+npi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its n (pi) + (-1)^n pi/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and n is a whole no.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so yes or no your answer is pi/2+npi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ques clear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my answer is already stated above
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what do u say?
