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

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

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

Factor

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

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

Factor out common term

sin (x)

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

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

Solving each part separately

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

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

3 - 2 cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

3 - 2 cos (x) = 0

Move

3

to the right side

3 - 2 cos (x) = 0

Subtract

3

from both sides

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

Simplify

- 2 cos (x) = - 3

- 2 cos (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 cos (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 2

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

Simplify

cos (x) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{3}{2}

cos (x) = \frac{3}{2}
