Trigonometry question
|dw:1453717974377:dw|
ok, lets start. know the formula for \(a^3 + b^3\) ? apply it for \(\Large (\sin^2x)^3 + (\cos^2 x)^3\) where a = sin^2 x , b = cos^2 x
note: \(A^6 = (A^2)^3\)
why didnt u use formula \((a^2+b^2)^3\)
the K is in the form of a^3 + b^3 and not (a+b)^3 .. .
the final aim here is to represent K in the form of only one trigonometric function...like just sin2x..
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \sin^{6} x+\cos^{6} x=(1)(\sin^{4}x-\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
good! now we use \(a^2 + b^2 = (a+b)^2 - 2ab\)
a, b same
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \sin^{6} x+\cos^{6} x=(1)(\sin^{4}x-\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & =(1-3\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
excellent! we're very close now :) recollect the double angle formula, \(2\sin A \cos A = \sin 2A\)
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \sin^{6} x+\cos^{6} x=(1)(\sin^{4}x-\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x+\cos^{4}x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & =(1-3\sin^{2}x\cos^{2}x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & =(1-\dfrac{3}{4}\sin^{2}2x) \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
now whats the range of sin^2 A ?
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & 0\leq \sin^{2}2x\leq 1 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
1. multiply both sides by -3/4 2. add 1 on both sides
**all sides :P
-3/4 its negative, so signs will flip
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & 0\leq \sin^{2}2x\leq 1 \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ & 1\geq -\dfrac{3\sin^{2}2x}{4}+1\geq \dfrac{1}{4} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)
\(\huge \checkmark \)
any doubts?
strange way to teach
didn't like it ?
joker likes it , cheers!
becuz joker is estrange.
lol joker jokes a joke :P
why so serious ?
