First, we'll use the double angle identity to re-write the
middle term.
sin 4x = sin 2(2x) = 2sin 2x*cos
2x
We'll re-write the
equation:
(sin 2x)^2 - 4 sin 2x*cos 2x + 3(cos 2x)^2 =
0
We'll divide by (cos 2x)^2 the
equation:
(tan 2x)^2 - 4 tan 2x + 3 =
0
We'll substitute tan 2x by
t.
We'll re-write the
equation:
t^2 - 4t + 3 =
0
We'll apply quadratic
formula:
t1 = [4+sqrt(16 -
12)]/2
t1 = (4+2)/2
t1 =
3
t2 = 1
We'll put tan 2x = t1
=> tan 2x = 1 => 2x = arctan1 + k*pi
2x =
pi/4 + k*pi
We'll divide by
2:
x = pi/8 + k*pi/2
Let tan
2x = t2 => tan 2x = 3 => 2x = arctan3 +
k*pi
x = [arctan(3)]/2 +
k*pi/2
The requested solutions of the
equation are: {pi/8 + k*pi/2 / k integer number}U{[arctan(3)]/2 + k*pi/2 / k integer
number}.
