sin(x+60)=2cos(x)

Solution

sin (x + 6 0^{\circ}) = 2 cos (x)

Solution

x = 1.15551 \dots + 18 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = 1.15551 \dots + πn

Solution steps

sin (x + 6 0^{\circ}) = 2 cos (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x + 6 0^{\circ}) = 2 cos (x)

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x + 6 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

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

Simplify

sin (x) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (x) sin (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

sin (x) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (x) sin (6 0^{\circ})

Simplify

cos (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (x)

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (x)

Simplify

sin (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{3}{2}

sin (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

= \frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x)

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x) = 2 cos (x)

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3}{2} cos (x) = 2 cos (x)

Subtract

2 cos (x)

from both sides

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3 - 4}{2} cos (x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3 - 4}{2} cos (x) : \frac{sin ( x ) + ( 3 - 4 ) cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{3 - 4}{2} cos (x)

\frac{1}{2} sin (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{1}{2} sin (x)

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot sin ( x )}{2}

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (x) = sin (x)

= \frac{sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{3 - 4}{2} cos (x) = \frac{( 3 - 4 ) cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{3 - 4}{2} cos (x)

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( 3 - 4 ) cos ( x )}{2}

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

Apply rule

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

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

\frac{sin ( x ) + ( 3 - 4 ) cos ( x )}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

sin (x) + (3 - 4) cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) + (3 - 4) cos (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{sin ( x ) + ( 3 - 4 ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 3 - 4 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

tan (x) + 3 - 4 = 0

tan (x) + 3 - 4 = 0

Move

3

to the right side

tan (x) + 3 - 4 = 0

Subtract

3

from both sides

tan (x) + 3 - 4 - 3 = 0 - 3

Simplify

tan (x) - 4 = - 3

tan (x) - 4 = - 3

Move

4

to the right side

tan (x) - 4 = - 3

Add

4

to both sides

tan (x) - 4 + 4 = - 3 + 4

Simplify

tan (x) = - 3 + 4

tan (x) = - 3 + 4

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = - 3 + 4

General solutions for

tan (x) = - 3 + 4

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (- 3 + 4) + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = arctan (- 3 + 4) + 18 0^{\circ} n
