Let's solve the equation
2sin2x = 4cos x – sinx+1
2sin2x = 4cos x – sinx+1,

4cos x(sin x – 1) + (sin x – 1) = 0,
(sin x – 1)(4cos x +1)=0,

A) Solve equation 2(\sin x-\cos x)=tgx-1.
b) \left[ \frac(3\pi )2;\,3\pi \right].
Show solutionSolution
A) Opening the brackets and moving all the terms to the left side, we get the equation 1+2 \sin x-2 \cos x-tg x=0. Considering that \cos x \neq 0, the term 2 \sin x can be replaced by 2 tan x \cos x, we obtain the equation 1+2 tg x \cos x-2 \cos x-tg x=0, which by grouping can be reduced to the form (1-tg x)(1-2 \cos x)=0.
1) 1-tg x=0, tan x=1, x=\frac\pi 4+\pi n, n \in \mathbb Z;
2) 1-2 \cos x=0, \cos x=\frac12, x=\pm \frac\pi 3+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb Z.
b) Using the number circle, select the roots belonging to the interval \left[ \frac(3\pi )2;\, 3\pi \right].

x_2=\frac\pi 3+2\pi =\frac(7\pi )3,
x_3=-\frac\pi 3+2\pi =\frac(5\pi )3.
Answer
A) \frac\pi 4+\pi n, \pm\frac\pi 3+2\pi n, n \in \mathbb Z;
b) \frac(5\pi )3, \frac(7\pi )3, \frac(9\pi )4.
Condition
A) Solve the equation (2\sin ^24x-3\cos 4x)\cdot \sqrt (tgx)=0.
b) Indicate the roots of this equation that belong to the interval \left(0;\,\frac(3\pi )2\right] ;
Show solutionSolution
A) ODZ: \begin(cases) tgx\geqslant 0\\x\neq \frac\pi 2+\pi k,k \in \mathbb Z. \end(cases)
The original equation on the ODZ is equivalent to a set of equations
\left[\!\!\begin(array)(l) 2 \sin ^2 4x-3 \cos 4x=0,\\tg x=0. \end(array)\right.
Let's solve the first equation. To do this we will make a replacement \cos 4x=t, t \in [-1; 1]. Then \sin^24x=1-t^2. We get:
2(1-t^2)-3t=0,
2t^2+3t-2=0,
t_1=\frac12, t_2=-2, t_2\notin [-1; 1].
\cos 4x=\frac12,
4x=\pm\frac\pi 3+2\pi n,
x=\pm \frac\pi (12)+\frac(\pi n)2, n \in \mathbb Z.
Let's solve the second equation.
tg x=0,\, x=\pi k, k \in \mathbb Z.
Using the unit circle, we find solutions that satisfy the ODZ.
The “+” sign marks the 1st and 3rd quarters, in which tg x>0.
We get: x=\pi k, k \in \mathbb Z; x=\frac\pi (12)+\pi n, n \in \mathbb Z; x=\frac(5\pi )(12)+\pi m, m \in \mathbb Z.
b) Let's find the roots belonging to the interval \left(0;\,\frac(3\pi )2\right].

Answer
A) \pi k, k \in \mathbb Z; \frac\pi (12)+\pi n, n \in \mathbb Z; \frac(5\pi )(12)+\pi m, m \in \mathbb Z.
b) \pi; \frac\pi (12); \frac(5\pi )(12); \frac(13\pi )(12); \frac(17\pi )(12).

Condition
A) Solve the equation: \cos ^2x+\cos ^2\frac\pi 6=\cos ^22x+\sin ^2\frac\pi 3;
b) List all roots belonging to the interval \left(\frac(7\pi )2;\,\frac(9\pi )2\right].
Show solutionSolution
A) Because \sin \frac\pi 3=\cos \frac\pi 6, That \sin ^2\frac\pi 3=\cos ^2\frac\pi 6, This means that the given equation is equivalent to the equation \cos^2x=\cos ^22x, which, in turn, is equivalent to the equation \cos^2x-\cos ^2 2x=0.
But \cos ^2x-\cos ^22x= (\cos x-\cos 2x)\cdot (\cos x+\cos 2x) And
\cos 2x=2 \cos ^2 x-1, so the equation becomes
(\cos x-(2 \cos ^2 x-1))\,\cdot(\cos x+(2 \cos ^2 x-1))=0,
(2 \cos ^2 x-\cos x-1)\,\cdot (2 \cos ^2 x+\cos x-1)=0.
Then either 2 \cos ^2 x-\cos x-1=0, or 2 \cos ^2 x+\cos x-1=0.
Solving the first equation as a quadratic equation for \cos x, we get:
(\cos x)_(1,2)=\frac(1\pm\sqrt 9)4=\frac(1\pm3)4. Therefore either \cos x=1 or \cos x=-\frac12. If \cos x=1, then x=2k\pi , k \in \mathbb Z. If \cos x=-\frac12, That x=\pm \frac(2\pi )3+2s\pi , s \in \mathbb Z.
Similarly, solving the second equation, we get either \cos x=-1 or \cos x=\frac12. If \cos x=-1, then the roots x=\pi +2m\pi , m \in \mathbb Z. If \cos x=\frac12, That x=\pm \frac\pi 3+2n\pi , n \in \mathbb Z.
Let's combine the solutions obtained:
x=m\pi , m \in \mathbb Z; x=\pm \frac\pi 3 +s\pi , s \in \mathbb Z.
b) Let's select the roots that fall within a given interval using a number circle.
We get: x_1 =\frac(11\pi )3, x_2=4\pi , x_3 =\frac(13\pi )3.
Answer
A) m\pi, m\in \mathbb Z; \pm \frac\pi 3 +s\pi , s \in \mathbb Z;
b) \frac(11\pi )3, 4\pi , \frac(13\pi )3.

Condition
A) Solve the equation 10\cos ^2\frac x2=\frac(11+5ctg\left(\dfrac(3\pi )2-x\right) )(1+tgx).
b) Indicate the roots of this equation that belong to the interval \left(-2\pi ; -\frac(3\pi )2\right).
Show solutionSolution
A) 1. According to the reduction formula, ctg\left(\frac(3\pi )2-x\right) =tgx. The domain of definition of the equation will be such values of x such that \cos x \neq 0 and tan x \neq -1. Let's transform the equation using the double angle cosine formula 2 \cos ^2 \frac x2=1+\cos x. We get the equation: 5(1+\cos x) =\frac(11+5tgx)(1+tgx).
notice, that \frac(11+5tgx)(1+tgx)= \frac(5(1+tgx)+6)(1+tgx)= 5+\frac(6)(1+tgx), so the equation becomes: 5+5 \cos x=5 +\frac(6)(1+tgx). From here \cos x =\frac(\dfrac65)(1+tgx), \cos x+\sin x =\frac65.
2. Transform \sin x+\cos x using the reduction formula and the sum of cosines formula: \sin x=\cos \left(\frac\pi 2-x\right), \cos x+\sin x= \cos x+\cos \left(\frac\pi 2-x\right)= 2\cos \frac\pi 4\cos \left(x-\frac\pi 4\right)= \sqrt 2\cos \left(x-\frac\pi 4\right) = \frac65.
From here \cos \left(x-\frac\pi 4\right) =\frac(3\sqrt 2)5. Means, x-\frac\pi 4= arc\cos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5+2\pi k, k \in \mathbb Z,
or x-\frac\pi 4= -arc\cos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5+2\pi t, t \in \mathbb Z.
That's why x=\frac\pi 4+arc\cos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5+2\pi k,k \in \mathbb Z,
or x =\frac\pi 4-arc\cos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5+2\pi t,t \in \mathbb Z.
The found values of x belong to the domain of definition.
b) Let us first find out where the roots of the equation fall at k=0 and t=0. These will be numbers accordingly a=\frac\pi 4+arccos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5 And b=\frac\pi 4-arccos \frac(3\sqrt 2)5.
1. Let us prove the auxiliary inequality:
\frac(\sqrt 2)(2)<\frac{3\sqrt 2}2<1.
Really, \frac(\sqrt 2)(2)=\frac(5\sqrt 2)(10)<\frac{6\sqrt2}{10}=\frac{3\sqrt2}{5}.
Note also that \left(\frac(3\sqrt 2)5\right) ^2=\frac(18)(25)<1^2=1, Means \frac(3\sqrt 2)5<1.
2. From inequalities (1) By the arc cosine property we get:
arccos 1 0 From here \frac\pi 4+0<\frac\pi 4+arc\cos \frac{3\sqrt 2}5<\frac\pi 4+\frac\pi 4,
0<\frac\pi 4+arccos \frac{3\sqrt 2}5<\frac\pi 2,
since kI Z, then k = 0, hence X= = From this inequality it is clear that there are no integer values of k. Conclusion: To select roots from a given interval when solving a trigonometric equation, you need to: Solve example No. 2 and No. 3 from homework using the resulting algorithm. Two students work at the board at the same time, followed by checking the work. In this article I will try to explain 2 ways selecting roots in a trigonometric equation: using inequalities and using the trigonometric circle. Let's move straight to an illustrative example and we'll figure out how things work. A) Solve the equation sqrt(2)cos^2x=sin(Pi/2+x) Let's solve point a. Let's use the reduction formula for sine sin(Pi/2+x) = cos(x) Sqrt(2)cos^2x = cosx Sqrt(2)cos^2x - cosx = 0 Cosx(sqrt(2)cosx - 1) = 0 X1 = Pi/2 + Pin, n ∈ Z Sqrt(2)cosx - 1 = 0 Cosx = 1/sqrt(2) Cosx = sqrt(2)/2 X2 = arccos(sqrt(2)/2) + 2Pin, n ∈ Z X2 = Pi/4 + 2Pin, n ∈ Z Let's solve point b. 1) Selection of roots using inequalities Here everything is done simply, we substitute the resulting roots into the interval given to us [-7Pi/2; -2Pi], find integer values for n. 7Pi/2 less than or equal to Pi/2 + Pin less than or equal to -2Pi We immediately divide everything by Pi 7/2 less than or equal to 1/2 + n less than or equal to -2 7/2 - 1/2 less than or equal to n less than or equal to -2 - 1/2 4 less than or equal to n less than or equal to -5/2 The integer n in this interval are -4 and -3. This means that the roots belonging to this interval will be Pi/2 + Pi(-4) = -7Pi/2, Pi/2 + Pi(-3) = -5Pi/2 Similarly we make two more inequalities 7Pi/2 less than or equal to Pi/4 + 2Pin less than or equal to -2Pi There are no whole n in this interval 7Pi/2 less than or equal to -Pi/4 + 2Pin less than or equal to -2Pi One integer n in this interval is -1. This means that the selected root on this interval is -Pi/4 + 2Pi*(-1) = -9Pi/4. So the answer in point b: -7Pi/2, -5Pi/2, -9Pi/4 2) Selection of roots using a trigonometric circle To use this method you need to understand how this circle works. I will try to explain in simple language how I understand this. I think in schools, during algebra lessons, this topic was explained many times with clever words from the teacher, in textbooks there were complex formulations. Personally, I understand this as a circle that can be walked around an infinite number of times, this is explained by the fact that the sine and cosine functions are periodic. Let's go around counterclockwise Let's go around 2 times counterclockwise Let's go around 1 time clockwise (the values will be negative) Let's return to our question, we need to select roots in the interval [-7Pi/2; -2Pi] To get to the numbers -7Pi/2 and -2Pi you need to go around the circle counterclockwise twice. In order to find the roots of the equation on this interval, you need to estimate and substitute. Consider x = Pi/2 + Pin. Approximately what should n be for x to be somewhere in this range? We substitute, let's say -2, we get Pi/2 - 2Pi = -3Pi/2, obviously this is not included in our interval, so we take less than -3, Pi/2 - 3Pi = -5Pi/2, this is suitable, let's try again -4 , Pi/2 - 4Pi = -7Pi/2, also suitable. Reasoning similarly for Pi/4 + 2Pin and -Pi/4 + 2Pin, we find another root -9Pi/4. Comparison of two methods. The first method (using inequalities) is much more reliable and much easier to understand, but if you really get serious about the trigonometric circle and the second selection method, then selecting roots will be much faster, you can save about 15 minutes on the exam.
3. Consolidation.
b) Find all the roots of this equation belonging to the interval [-7Pi/2; -2Pi]
x3 = -arccos(sqrt(2)/2) + 2Pin, n ∈ Z
x3 = -Pi/4 + 2Pin, n ∈ Z
-15/8 less than or equal to n less than or equal to -9/8
-13/8 less than or equal to n less than or equal to -7/8
