cos(60-x)=sin(70-3x)

Solution

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (70 - 3 x)

Solution

x = - \frac{216 0 ^{\circ} n + 18 0 ^{\circ} - 420}{24}, x = - \frac{90 0 ^{\circ} + 216 0 ^{\circ} n - 420}{12}

Radians

x = - \frac{π}{24} + \frac{35}{2} - \frac{12 π}{24} n, x = 35 - \frac{5 π}{12} - \frac{12 π}{12} n

Solution steps

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (70 - 3 x)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (70 - 3 x)

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x))

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x))

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (6 0^{\circ} - x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x))

sin (x) = sin (y) \Rightarrow x = y + 2 π n, x = π - y + 2 π n

70 - 3 x = 9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n, 70 - 3 x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x)) + 36 0^{\circ} n

70 - 3 x = 9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n, 70 - 3 x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x)) + 36 0^{\circ} n

70 - 3 x = 9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = - \frac{216 0 ^{\circ} n + 18 0 ^{\circ} - 420}{24}

70 - 3 x = 9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n

Expand

9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n : x + 36 0^{\circ} n + 3 0^{\circ}

9 0^{\circ} - (6 0^{\circ} - x) + 36 0^{\circ} n

- (6 0^{\circ} - x) : - 6 0^{\circ} + x

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

Distribute parentheses

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

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - 6 0^{\circ} + x

= 9 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} + x + 36 0^{\circ} n

Simplify

9 0^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} + x + 36 0^{\circ} n : x + 36 0^{\circ} n + 3 0^{\circ}
