cos(2x)-sin(3x)=0

Solution

cos (2 x) - sin (3 x) = 0

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 0.94247 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.94247 \dots + 2 πn

Solution steps

cos (2 x) - sin (3 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - 2 sin^{2} (x) - 3 sin (x) + 4 sin^{3} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

sin (x) = 1, sin (x) = \frac{- 1 + 5}{4}, sin (x) = - \frac{1 + 5}{4}

sin (x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (x) = \frac{- 1 + 5}{4} : x = arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn

sin (x) = - \frac{1 + 5}{4} : x = arcsin (- \frac{1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (\frac{1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{- 1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn, x = arcsin (- \frac{1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (\frac{1 + 5}{4}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.31415 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 0.94247 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.94247 \dots + 2 πn

8 sin (θ) - 8 = 43 - 8

sec (θ) = 2 cos (θ)

2 sin^{2} (x) + 3 sin (x) = 0

sin^{2} (x) = - sin (x)

arccos (x) + 2 arcsin (\frac{3}{2}) = π
