put the equation : 7 sin^2(x)- (4sin2(x))/(cos(x)) = -1 into a standard quadratic trigonometric equation. Can I use some identites so make the equation moer neat?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (freckles):

why does sin(2) x mean?

OpenStudy (freckles):

is that suppose to be sin(2) times x or sin(2 times x)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Might be a typo

OpenStudy (freckles):

or sin^2(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two times x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the image i attached

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

sin(2) * x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

typo its supposed to be twice the angle

OpenStudy (freckles):

I am looking at the image l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its supposed to be the image times two*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angle times two*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

double angle

OpenStudy (freckles):

do you know the double angle identity for sin(2x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sinxcosx

OpenStudy (freckles):

right guess what happens when you have cos(x)/cos(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[7 \sin^2(x)-4 \cdot 2\sin(x)+1=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I geti tinoq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a million

OpenStudy (freckles):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant multiply out the 4 * 2 sin x to make it 8 sinx right?
