Solution

cos (2 x) > sin^{2} (x) - 2

Solution

πn \leq x < 0.61547 \dots + πn or - 0.61547 \dots + π + πn < x \leq π + πn

Interval Notation

[πn, 0.61547 \dots + πn) \cup (- 0.61547 \dots + π + πn, π + πn]

Decimal

πn \leq x < 0.61547 \dots + πn or 2.52611 \dots + πn < x \leq 3.14159 \dots + πn

Solution steps

cos (2 x) > sin^{2} (x) - 2

Move

sin^{2} (x)

to the left side

cos (2 x) > sin^{2} (x) - 2

Subtract

sin^{2} (x)

from both sides

cos (2 x) - sin^{2} (x) > sin^{2} (x) - 2 - sin^{2} (x)

cos (2 x) - sin^{2} (x) > - 2

cos (2 x) - sin^{2} (x) > - 2

Use the following identity:

cos (2 x) = cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x)

cos^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) - sin^{2} (x) > - 2

Simplify

cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x) > - 2

cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Rewrite

cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x)

cos^{2} (x) - (2 sin (x))^{2}

cos^{2} (x) - 2 sin^{2} (x)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (2)^{2} sin^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(2)^{2} sin^{2} (x) = (2 sin (x))^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (2 sin (x))^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - (2 sin (x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

= (cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 2 sin (x))

(cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 2 sin (x)) > - 2

To find the zeroes, set the inequality to zero

(cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 2 sin (x)) = 0

Solve

(cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 2 sin (x)) = 0

for

0 \leq x < π

(cos (x) + 2 sin (x)) (cos (x) - 2 sin (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0 : x = - 0.61547 \dots + π

cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0, 0 \leq x < π

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by
