2sin^2X=4sinX+6
\[2 \sin 2x = 4 \sin x + 6\]
it looks like this, isn't it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is 2sin to the power of 2 x = 4sinx+6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahhh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2 (\sin x )^2 = 4 \sin x + 6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like this ?

we assume sin x to be Y
so we have
\[2 Y^2 = 4Y + 6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
get it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2Y^2 = 4Y + 6\]
\[2Y^2 - 4Y - 6 = 0\]
\[y^2 - 2Y - 3 = 0\]
\[(Y+1) (Y-3) = 0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2\sin ^{2}x=4sinx+6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
get it ?

it is like this \[2\sin ^{2}x=4sinx+6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yess then we assume sin x to be Y like what i said before
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[Y = -1\]
because of Y equal to sin x, then
\[\sin x = -1\]
x = \[x = \sin^{-1} (-1) = -\frac{ \pi }{ 2 } \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
let us prove it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We have
\[X = -\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }\]
substitute this X to
\[2 \sin^{2}x = 4 \sin x + 6\]
then we have
\[2 \sin^{2}(-\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }) = 4 \sin (-\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }) + 6\]
2 (-1)^2 = 4 (-1) + 6
2 = -4 + 6
2 = 2
Of course we have proved it! :)
