Question
Solve the following equations: $3\sin2\text{x}-5 \sin\text{x}\cos \text{x} + 8 \cos2\text{x = 2}$

Answer

$3\sin^2\text{x}-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+8\cos^2\text{x}=2$ $\Rightarrow3\sin^2\text{x}-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+3\cos^\text{x}2+5\cos^2\text{x}-2=0$ $\Rightarrow3(\sin^2\text{x}\cos^2\text{x})-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+5\cos^2\text{x}-2=0$ $\Rightarrow3-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+5\cos^2\text{x}-2=0$ $\Rightarrow5\cos^2\text{x}-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow5(1-\sin^2\text{x})-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow5-5\sin^2\text{x}-5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow5\sin^2\text{x}+5\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}-6=0$ Dividing by $\cos^2\text{x},\ $ we get $\Rightarrow5\tan^2\text{x}+5\tan\text{x}-6\sec^2\text{x}=0$ $\Rightarrow5\tan^2\text{x}+5\tan\text{x}-6-6\tan^2\text{x}=0$ $\Rightarrow-\tan^2\text{x}+5\tan\text{x}-6=0$ $\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}-5\tan\text{x}+6=0$ $\Rightarrow\tan^2\text{x}-3\tan\text{x}-2\tan\text{x}+6=0$ $\Rightarrow(\tan\text{x}-3)=0$ or $\tan\text{x}=2$ $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+\tan^{-1}3$ or $\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+\tan6{-1}2,\ \text{n}\in\text{Z}$
