2sqrt(3)cos(x)sin(x)-cos(x)=2cos(x)

Solution

23 cos (x) sin (x) - cos (x) = 2 cos (x)

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

23 cos (x) sin (x) - cos (x) = 2 cos (x)

Subtract

2 cos (x)

from both sides

23 cos (x) sin (x) - 3 cos (x) = 0

Factor

23 cos (x) sin (x) - 3 cos (x) : cos (x) (23 sin (x) - 3)

23 cos (x) sin (x) - 3 cos (x)

Factor out common term

cos (x)

= cos (x) (23 sin (x) - 3)

cos (x) (23 sin (x) - 3) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) = 0 or 23 sin (x) - 3 = 0

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

cos (x) = 0

General solutions for

cos (x) = 0

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

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

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

23 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Move

3

to the right side

23 sin (x) - 3 = 0

Add

3

to both sides

23 sin (x) - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3

Simplify

23 sin (x) = 3

23 sin (x) = 3

Divide both sides by

23

23 sin (x) = 3

Divide both sides by

\frac{2 3 sin ( x )}{2 3} = \frac{3}{2 3}

Simplify

\frac{2 3 sin ( x )}{2 3} = \frac{3}{2 3}

Simplify

\frac{2 3 sin ( x )}{2 3} : sin (x)

\frac{2 3 sin ( x )}{2 3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= \frac{3 sin ( x )}{3}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= sin (x)

Simplify

\frac{3}{2 3} : \frac{3}{2}

\frac{3}{2 3}

Apply radical rule:

n a = a^{\frac{1}{n}}

3 = 3^{\frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{3}{2 \cdot 3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = x^{a - b}

\frac{3 ^{1}}{3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}} = 3^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}

= \frac{3 ^{1 - \frac{1}{2}}}{2}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3 ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2}

Apply radical rule:

a^{\frac{1}{n}} = n a

3^{\frac{1}{2}} = 3

= \frac{3}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{3}{2}
