`sin2x+cosx=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation:
`sin2x+cosx=0`,
or `2sinxcosx+cosx=0`,
or `cosx(2sinx+1)=0`
`rArr cosx=0` or `2sinx+1=0`
If `cosx=0` then `x=(2n+1)pi/2`, where `n in z`, and `2sinx+1=0, rArr sinx=-1/2=sin(pi+pi/6)`
`rArr sinx=sin(pi + pi/6)`
`rArr sinx=sin(7pi)/(6)`
`rArr x=npi+(-1)^(n)(7pi)/(6)`, where `n in Z`
Therefore, the general solution of given equation is
`x=npi+(-1)^(n)(7pi)/(6)` or `(2n+1)pi/2, n in Z` Ans.

Recall that sinx + cosx =u (say) and sin x cosx =v (say) are connected by (sinx +cosx)^(2) = sin^(2)x + cos^(2)x+2sin cosx rArr u^(2) = 1+2v rArr v=(u^(2)-1)/(2) It follows that any rational integral function of sinx + cosx , and sinx cosx i.e., R(sinx + cosx, sinx cosx) , or in our notation R(u,v) can be transformed to R(u, (u^(2)-1)/2) . Thus, to solve an equation of the form R(u,v)=0 , we form a polynomial equation in u and than look for solutions. The solution set of sinx + cosx -2sqrt(2) sin x cosx=0 is completely described by
