Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution set of the given equation is $\{\frac{3 π}{2}\}$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

In the given problems we have to solve each equation on the interval $0 \leq θ \leq 2 π$

$4 (1 + \sin θ) = \cos^{2} θ$

Step 2. The equation in its present form contains a cosine and sine.

However, a form of the Pythagorean Identity, $\sin^{2} θ + \cos^{2} θ = 1$ , can be used to transform the equation into an equivalent one containing only sines.

$4 + 4 \sin θ = 1 - \sin^{2} θ$

Add 1 and subtract $\sin^{2} θ$ on both side

$4 + 4 \sin θ - 1 + \sin^{2} θ = 1 - \sin^{2} θ - 1 + \sin^{2} θ 3 + 4 \sin θ + \sin^{2} θ = 0 \sin^{2} θ + 4 \sin θ + 3 = 0$

Step 3. Now the equation is sin2θ+4sinθ+3=0

Factor the equation.

$\sin^{2} θ + (3 + 1) \sin θ + 3 = 0 \sin^{2} θ + 3 \sin θ + \sin θ + 3 = 0 \sin θ (\sin θ + 3) + 1 (\sin θ + 3) = 0 (\sin θ + 1) (\sin θ + 3) = 0$

Step 4. Use the Zero-Product Property.

$\sin θ + 1 = 0 or \sin θ + 3 = 0 \sin θ + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1 or \sin θ + 3 - 3 = 0 - 3 \sin θ = - 1 or \sin θ = - 3$

Step 5. Solving each equation in the interval [0,2π], we obtain

$θ = \frac{3 π}{2} or No solution$

The solution set is $\{\frac{3 π}{2}\}$ .
