Solving $4sin^2left(fracpi5(x-1)right)=3$ with $xin[0 , 2pi)$

$begingroup$



$$4sin^2left(fracpi5(x-1)right)=3qquad xin[0 , 2π)$$




My work:



$$sin^2[pi/5(x-1)] = 3/4$$



Let $p = pi/5(x-1)$



$$sin^2 p = 3/4$$



$$sin p = pm sqrt{3}/2$$



$$p = pi/3, 2pi/3, 4pi/3, 5pi/3$$



$$pi/5(x-1) = pi/3, 2pi/3, 4pi/3, 5pi/3$$



$$x = 8/3, 13/3, 23/3, 28/3$$



However, I'm not sure if these answers are correct or how many may be correct answers within the restricted range.



If, hypothetically, I wanted to set the range of $p$, what would it be without finding the correct $x$ values first?



Can you show how you would do the problem?

Since $xin[0,2pi)$, you must have
$$
p=frac{pi}{5}(x-1)in[a,b)
$$
for some $a$ and $b$. Find $a$ and $b$ and then find $p$ such that $pin[a,b)$ and
$$
sin p=pmfrac{sqrt{3}}{2}.
$$
Once you have the values of $p$ in $[a,b)$, use the relation
$$
p=frac{pi}{5}(x-1)
$$
to the values of $x$.

    For $sin^2y=sin^2Aiffcos^2y=cos^2Aifftan^2y=tan^2A$



    Method$#1:$ use Prove $ sin(A+B)sin(A-B)=sin^2A-sin^2B $



    $sin(ypm A)=0,y=mpimp A$



    Method$#2:$



    Use $cos2x=1-2sin^2x,$



    and $cos2x=cos2Aimplies2x=2npipm2A$

    When you get to $sin^2left({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={3over4}$,so using $sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1$,$cosleft({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={1over2}$,$left({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={piover3}+2pi n$. It is easy from here now.

              When you get to $sin^2left({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={3over4}$,so using $sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1$,$cosleft({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={1over2}$,$left({piover5}{(x-1)}right)={piover3}+2pi n$. It is easy from here now.

                      5 Does "Dominus providebit" mean "The Lord will provide" or "The Lord provides"? I once had a bit of an argument with a guy who studied Latin over that.
