sin(4x)-sin(2x)=cos(3x)

Solution

sin (4 x) - sin (2 x) = cos (3 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (4 x) - sin (2 x) = cos (3 x)

Subtract

cos (3 x)

from both sides

sin (4 x) - sin (2 x) - cos (3 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (3 x) - sin (2 x) + sin (4 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) - sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s - t}{2}) cos (\frac{s + t}{2})

= - cos (3 x) + 2 sin (\frac{4 x - 2 x}{2}) cos (\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2})

2 sin (\frac{4 x - 2 x}{2}) cos (\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2}) = 2 sin (x) cos (3 x)

2 sin (\frac{4 x - 2 x}{2}) cos (\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2})

\frac{4 x - 2 x}{2} = x

\frac{4 x - 2 x}{2}

Add similar elements:

4 x - 2 x = 2 x

= \frac{2 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= x

= 2 sin (x) cos (\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2})

\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2} = 3 x

\frac{4 x + 2 x}{2}

Add similar elements:

4 x + 2 x = 6 x

= \frac{6 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{2} = 3

= 3 x

= 2 sin (x) cos (3 x)

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

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

Factor

- cos (3 x) + 2 cos (3 x) sin (x) : cos (3 x) (2 sin (x) - 1)

- cos (3 x) + 2 cos (3 x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

cos (3 x)

= cos (3 x) (- 1 + 2 sin (x))

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

Solving each part separately

cos (3 x) = 0 or 2 sin (x) - 1 = 0

cos (3 x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

cos (3 x) = 0
