Solve the following equation: 4 ^ 2 x-8 +1=0 - Vidyadip

Question

Solve the following equation:
$4\sin^{2}\text{x}-8\cos\text{x}+1=0$

✓

Answer

We have, $4\sin^{2}\text{x}-8\cos\text{x}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow4(1-\cos^{2}\text{x})-8\cos\text{x}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow4\cos^{2}\text{x}+8\cos\text{x}-5=0$ factorise it,we get, $\Rightarrow4\cos^{2}\text{x}+10\cos\text{x}-2\cos\text{x}-5=0$ $\Rightarrow2\cos\text{x}(2\cos\text{x}+5)-1(2\cos\text{x}+5)=0$ $\Rightarrow(2\cos\text{x}-1)(2\cos\text{x}+5)=0$Either $2\cos\text{x}-1=0$ or $2\cos\text{x}+5=0$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$ or $\cos\text{x}=-\frac{5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\cos\text{x}=\cos\frac{\pi}{3}$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}=2\text{n}\pi\pm\frac{\pi}{3},\text{n}\in\text{z}$
