sin(4x)-cos(2x)=0

Solution

sin (4 x) - cos (2 x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π + 4 πn}{4}, x = \frac{3 π + 4 πn}{4}, x = \frac{π + 12 πn}{12}, x = \frac{5 π + 12 πn}{12}

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 1 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (4 x) - cos (2 x) = 0

Let:

u = 2 x

sin (2 u) - cos (u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (u) + sin (2 u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

= - cos (u) + 2 sin (u) cos (u)

- cos (u) + 2 cos (u) sin (u) = 0

Factor

- cos (u) + 2 cos (u) sin (u) : cos (u) (2 sin (u) - 1)

- cos (u) + 2 cos (u) sin (u)

Factor out common term

cos (u)

= cos (u) (- 1 + 2 sin (u))

cos (u) (2 sin (u) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (u) = 0 or 2 sin (u) - 1 = 0

cos (u) = 0 : u = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, u = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (u) = 0
