5sin(x)cos(x)=cos(x)

Solution

5 sin (x) cos (x) = cos (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = 0.20135 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.20135 \dots + 2 πn

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 11.53695 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 168.46304 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

5 sin (x) cos (x) = cos (x)

Subtract

cos (x)

from both sides

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

Factor

5 sin (x) cos (x) - cos (x) : cos (x) (5 sin (x) - 1)

5 sin (x) cos (x) - cos (x)

Factor out common term

cos (x)

= cos (x) (5 sin (x) - 1)

cos (x) (5 sin (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) = 0 or 5 sin (x) - 1 = 0

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

cos (x) = 0

5 sin (x) - 1 = 0 : x = arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn

5 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

5 sin (x) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

5 sin (x) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

5 sin (x) = 1

5 sin (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

5

5 sin (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 sin ( x )}{5} = \frac{1}{5}

Simplify

sin (x) = \frac{1}{5}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{5}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = \frac{1}{5}

General solutions for

sin (x) = \frac{1}{5}

sin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (a) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (a) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn, x = π - arcsin (\frac{1}{5}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = 0.20135 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.20135 \dots + 2 πn
