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

Solution

3 sin^{2} (x) = 3 cos^{2} (x)

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

3 sin^{2} (x) = 3 cos^{2} (x)

Subtract

3 cos^{2} (x)

from both sides

3 sin^{2} (x) - 3 cos^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

3 sin^{2} (x) - 3 cos^{2} (x) : 3 (sin (x) + cos (x)) (sin (x) - cos (x))

3 sin^{2} (x) - 3 cos^{2} (x)

Factor out common term

3

= 3 (sin^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x))

Factor

sin^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x) : (sin (x) + cos (x)) (sin (x) - cos (x))

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

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

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

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

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

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

Solving each part separately

sin (x) + cos (x) = 0 or sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

sin (x) + cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

sin (x) + cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 1 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) + 1 = 0

tan (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

tan (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

tan (x) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

tan (x) = - 1

tan (x) = - 1

tan (x) = - 1

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) - cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{sin ( x ) - cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 1 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

tan (x) - 1 = 0

tan (x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

Add

1

to both sides

tan (x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

tan (x) = 1
