Answer :

The solution of the trigononometric equation is x = sin⁻¹(-1) = -π/2

How to solve the trigonometric equation?

Since cos²x - sin²x = sinx ; -π < x ≤ π

Solving the trigonometric equation, we have

cos²x - sin²x = sinx

Using  sin²x +  cos²x = 1 ⇒  cos²x  = 1 -  sin²x

Substituting this into the equation, we have

cos²x - sin²x = sinx

1 -  sin²x  - sin²x = sinx

1 -  2sin²x = sinx

1 -  2sin²x - sinx = 0

- 2sin²x - sinx + 1  = 0

Dividing through by -1, we have

- 2sin²x/-1  - sinx/-1  + 1/-1  = 0/-1

2sin²x + sinx - 1  = 0

Let y = sinx

2y² + y - 1  = 0

Factorizing, we have

2y² + 2y - y - 1  = 0

2y(y + 1) - (y + 1) = 0

(2y - 1)(y + 1) = 0

2y - 1 = 0 or y + 1 = 0

2y = 1 or y = -1

y = 1/2 or y = - 1

sinx = 1/2 or sinx = -1

x = sin⁻¹(1/2) = π/6 or x = sin⁻¹(-1) = -π/2

For the interval -π < x ≤ π, the solution is x = sin⁻¹(1/2) = π/6 or x = sin⁻¹(-1) = -π/2

So, the solution of the trigononometric equation is x = sin⁻¹(1/2) = π/6 or x = sin⁻¹(-1) = -π/2
