sin(60-x)=2sin(x)

Solution

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) = 2 sin (x)

Solution

x = 0.33347 \dots + 18 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = 0.33347 \dots + πn

Solution steps

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) = 2 sin (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) = 2 sin (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

sin (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{3}{2}

sin (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

cos (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) = 2 sin (x)

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) = 2 sin (x)

Subtract

2 sin (x)

from both sides

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{5}{2} sin (x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{5}{2} sin (x) : \frac{3 cos ( x ) - 5 sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{5}{2} sin (x)

Multiply

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

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

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

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

= \frac{3 cos ( x )}{2} - \frac{5}{2} sin (x)

Multiply

\frac{5}{2} sin (x) : \frac{5 sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{5}{2} sin (x)

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{5 sin ( x )}{2}

= \frac{3 cos ( x )}{2} - \frac{5 sin ( x )}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{3 cos ( x ) - 5 sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{3 cos ( x ) - 5 sin ( x )}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

3 cos (x) - 5 sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

3 cos (x) - 5 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

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

\frac{3 cos ( x ) - 5 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

3 - \frac{5 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

3 - 5 tan (x) = 0

3 - 5 tan (x) = 0

Move

3

to the right side

3 - 5 tan (x) = 0

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 - 5 tan (x) - 3 = 0 - 3

Simplify

- 5 tan (x) = - 3

- 5 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 5

- 5 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 5

\frac{- 5 tan ( x )}{- 5} = \frac{- 3}{- 5}

Simplify

tan (x) = \frac{3}{5}

tan (x) = \frac{3}{5}

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = \frac{3}{5}

General solutions for

tan (x) = \frac{3}{5}

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

Show solutions in decimal form

x = 0.33347 \dots + 18 0^{\circ} n
