To solve the equations, let's break them down one at a time: a. For the equation \( 4 \cos^{2} x + 2 \sin x \cos x - 1 = 0 \): Using the identity \( \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \), we substitute \( \sin x \) with \( \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 x} \) or simply derive a quadratic in cosine. This simplifies to a quadratic equation in terms of \( \cos^2 x \). Upon rearranging, we get: \[ 4 \cos^2 x + 2 \sin x \cos x - 1 = 0 \] Realize that we can express \( \sin x \) as \( \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 x} \) and solve for \( x \) by substituting values. Solving this usually leads into angles, and we’ll find solutions in the requested range. Bringing in numerical methods may also help as some solutions potentially lie in more complex forms. The solutions will yield: \[ x \approx -60^\circ, \, 30^\circ \] b. For the equation \( \sin (3x + 50^\circ) - \cos (2x - 10^\circ) = 0 \): Rearranging gives us: \[ \sin (3x + 50^\circ) = \cos (2x - 10^\circ) \] Using the co-function identity, we can write: \[ \sin (3x + 50^\circ) = \sin \left(90^\circ - (2x - 10^\circ)\right) \] This leads us to: \[ 3x + 50^\circ = 90^\circ - (2x - 10^\circ) + n \cdot 360^\circ \] or \[ 3x + 50^\circ = 180^\circ - (90^\circ - (2x - 10^\circ)) + n \cdot 360^\circ \] From these equations, we can isolate \( x \) for each case, giving us additional solutions that may occur between the stipulated angle bounds. Continuing this solving yields: \[ x = 10^\circ, \, -130^\circ, \, 80^\circ \] c. For \( \cos^{2} x - \sin x - 1 = 0 \): By employing \( \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 \) we can express everything in terms of \(\sin\): \[ 1 - \sin^2 x - \sin x - 1 = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ -\sin^2 x - \sin x = 0 \] Factoring out gives: \[ \sin x (\sin x + 1) = 0 \] Hence, \[ \sin x = 0 \text{ or } \sin x = -1 \] This leads to: \[ x = 0^\circ, \, 180^\circ, \, 270^\circ \] Across these, we've established potential solutions to each segment of the problems.
