  1. 3sin^2=cos^2x

    3sin^2 x - cos^2 x = 0

    but,

    sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1

    cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x

    3sin^2 x - (1 - sin^2 x) = 0

    3sin^2 x - 1 + sin^2 x = 0

    4sin^2 x =  1

    sin^2 x =  1/4

    sin x = sqrt(1/4)

    sin x = 1/2

    x = arcsin (1/2)

    x =30 degrees


  2. 3 sin ² x - cos ² x = 0

    3 sin ² x - (1 - sin ² x) = 0

    4 sin ² x - 1 = 0

    sin ² x = 1 / 4

    sin x = ± 1/2

    x = 30° , 150° , 210° , 330°

  3. 3sin² x = cos² x

    => tan² x = 1/3

    => tan x = ± 1/√3 = tan( ± π/6 )

    => x = kπ ± π/6,   ( k ∈ Z).

  4. 3sin^2=1-sin^2

    4sin^2=1

    sin^2=1/4

    sin=sqrt(1/4)

    x=arcsin(sqrt(1/4))

    x=pi/6 or 30degrees

    make it a good day
