To solve the equation 5 - 4sin^2(x) = 4cos(x), we can use the Pythagorean identity sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1.
Rearrange the given equation to have everything in terms of sin(x) or cos(x): 5 - 4sin^2(x) = 4cos(x) 4cos(x) = 5 - 4sin^2(x)
Replace sin^2(x) with 1 - cos^2(x) using the Pythagorean identity: 4cos(x) = 5 - 4(1 - cos^2(x)) 4cos(x) = 5 - 4 + 4cos^2(x) 4cos(x) = 1 + 4cos^2(x)
Rearrange the equation in standard quadratic form: 4cos^2(x) - 4cos(x) + 1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation in terms of cos(x). We can solve it by using the quadratic formula: cos(x) = [-(-4) ± √((-4)^2 - 4(4)(1))]/(2(4)) cos(x) = [4 ± √(16 - 16)]/(8) cos(x) = [4 ± 0]/8 cos(x) = 1/2 or 1/2
Since cos(x) = 1/2, the possible values for x are x = π/3 or x = 5π/3.
Therefore, the solutions to the equation 5 - 4sin^2(x) = 4cos(x) are x = π/3 and x = 5π/3.
