sin(3θ)=cos(3θ)

sin (3 θ) = cos (3 θ)

θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

Degrees

θ = 1 5^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (3 θ) = cos (3 θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 θ) = cos (3 θ)

Divide both sides by

cos (3 θ), cos (3 θ) \neq = 0

\frac{sin ( 3 θ )}{cos ( 3 θ )} = \frac{cos ( 3 θ )}{cos ( 3 θ )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( 3 θ )}{cos ( 3 θ )} = 1

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

tan (3 θ) = 1

tan (3 θ) = 1

General solutions for

tan (3 θ) = 1

tan (x)

3 θ = \frac{π}{4} + πn

3 θ = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Solve

3 θ = \frac{π}{4} + πn : θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

3 θ = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 θ = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3} + \frac{πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} = \frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3} + \frac{πn}{3}

Simplify

\frac{3 θ}{3} : θ

\frac{3 θ}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= θ

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3} + \frac{πn}{3} : \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3} + \frac{πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3} = \frac{π}{12}

\frac{\frac{π}{4}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{4 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 3 = 12

= \frac{π}{12}

= \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}

θ = \frac{π}{12} + \frac{πn}{3}
