sin(3x)=sin(5x)

Solution

sin (3 x) = sin (5 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 22. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 67. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (3 x) = sin (5 x)

Subtract

sin (5 x)

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x) - sin (5 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

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

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

Simplify

2 sin (\frac{3 x - 5 x}{2}) cos (\frac{3 x + 5 x}{2}) : - 2 cos (4 x) sin (x)

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

\frac{3 x - 5 x}{2} = - x

\frac{3 x - 5 x}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 x - 5 x = - 2 x

= \frac{- 2 x}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{2 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= - x

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

Use the negative angle identity:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

\frac{3 x + 5 x}{2} = 4 x

\frac{3 x + 5 x}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 x + 5 x = 8 x

= \frac{8 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{2} = 4

= 4 x

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

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

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

Solving each part separately

cos (4 x) = 0 or sin (x) = 0

cos (4 x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

cos (4 x) = 0

cos (4 x) = 0
