Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related TRIG.100 Solve equations by converting between sine and cosine using the Pythagorean identity skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
On 0 ≤ x < 2π, solve cos²(x) = −2sin(x) − ½. Use sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1 to convert the equation to one involving only sin(x). Which option shows the correct converted equation and the resulting solution set?
Asin²(x) − 2sin(x) + ½ = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((2 − √10)⁄2), π − arcsin((2 − √10)⁄2) }
Bsin²(x) − 2sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((2 − √10)⁄2) }
Csin²(x) − 2sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arccos((2 − √10)⁄2), 2π − arccos((2 − √10)⁄2) }
Dsin²(x) − 2sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((2 − √10)⁄2), π − arcsin((2 − √10)⁄2) }
Solution & Explanation:Substitute cos²(x) = 1 − sin²(x) into cos²(x) = −2sin(x) − ½: 1 − sin²(x) = −2sin(x) − ½. Rearrange to get sin²(x) − 2sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0. Solve the quadratic for sin(x) to find the valid sine value(s). Then use arcsin to list the angle(s) in 0 ≤ x < 2π, including the second angle π − arcsin(value) when needed.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Solve on 0 ≤ x < 2π: cos²(x) = −sin(x) − ½. Rewrite using the Pythagorean identity and select the correct converted equation and solution set.
Asin²(x) − 1sin(x) + ½ = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((1 − √7)⁄2), π − arcsin((1 − √7)⁄2) }
Bsin²(x) − 1sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((1 − √7)⁄2) }
Csin²(x) − 1sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arccos((1 − √7)⁄2), 2π − arccos((1 − √7)⁄2) }
Dsin²(x) − 1sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((1 − √7)⁄2), π − arcsin((1 − √7)⁄2) }
Solution & Explanation:Substitute cos²(x) = 1 − sin²(x) into cos²(x) = −sin(x) − ½: 1 − sin²(x) = −sin(x) − ½. Rearrange to get sin²(x) − 1sin(x) − 3⁄2 = 0. Solve the quadratic for sin(x) to find the valid sine value(s). Then use arcsin to list the angle(s) in 0 ≤ x < 2π, including the second angle π − arcsin(value) when needed.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Solve on 0 ≤ x < 2π: cos²(x) = -3.000sin(x). Rewrite using the Pythagorean identity and select the correct converted equation and solution set.
Asin²(x) + -3.000sin(x) + 1 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2), π − arcsin((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2) }
Bsin²(x) + -3.000sin(x) − 1 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2), π − arcsin((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2) }
Csin²(x) + -3.000sin(x) − 1 = 0; x ∈ { arcsin((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2) }
Dsin²(x) + -3.000sin(x) − 1 = 0; x ∈ { arccos((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2), 2π − arccos((−-3.000 − √13)⁄2) }
Solution & Explanation:Substitute cos²(x) = 1 − sin²(x) into cos²(x) = -3.000sin(x): 1 − sin²(x) = -3.000sin(x). Rearrange to get sin²(x) + -3.000sin(x) − 1 = 0. Solve the quadratic for sin(x) to find the valid sine value(s). Then use arcsin to list the angle(s) in 0 ≤ x < 2π, including the second angle π − arcsin(value) when needed.
