Find all solutions for the equation. Give exact solutions when possible. Use your calculator if necessary rounding to 3 decimal places.
Solution
2cos2x +sinx =1
since sin2x +cos2x =1 , we have cos2x =1-sin2x
2(1-sin2x ) +sinx =1
1-2sin2x +sinx =0
2sin2x -sinx -1=0
2sin2x -2sinx +sinx -1=0
2sinx(sinx-1)+1(sinx-1)=0
(sinx-1)(2sinx+1)=0
sinx =1 ,sinx =-1/2
sinx =1 =>x =2n(pi) +(pi/2)
sinx =-1/2 => x=2n(pi) -(5pi/6) ,x=2n(pi) -(pi/6) whre n is an integer
