sin(2x+7)=cos(4x-7)

Solution

sin (2 x + 7) = cos (4 x - 7)

Solution

x = \frac{4 πn + π}{12}, x = - \frac{π + 4 πn - 28}{4}

Degrees

x = 1 5^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ} n, x = 356.07045 \dots^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (2 x + 7) = cos (4 x - 7)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (2 x + 7) = cos (4 x - 7)

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)

sin (2 x + 7) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7))

sin (2 x + 7) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7))

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (2 x + 7) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7))

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

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn, 2 x + 7 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7)) + 2 πn

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn, 2 x + 7 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7)) + 2 πn

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn : x = \frac{4 πn + π}{12}

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn

Expand

\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn : \frac{π}{2} - 4 x + 7 + 2 πn

\frac{π}{2} - (4 x - 7) + 2 πn

- (4 x - 7) : - 4 x + 7

- (4 x - 7)

Distribute parentheses

= - (4 x) - (- 7)

Apply minus-plus rules

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

= - 4 x + 7

= \frac{π}{2} - 4 x + 7 + 2 πn

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - 4 x + 7 + 2 πn

Move

7

to the right side

2 x + 7 = \frac{π}{2} - 4 x + 7 + 2 πn

Subtract
