cos(x)cos(2x)-sin(x)sin(2x)=0

Solution

cos (x) cos (2 x) - sin (x) sin (2 x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (x) cos (2 x) - sin (x) sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x) cos (2 x) - sin (x) sin (2 x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (x + 2 x)

cos (x + 2 x) = 0

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

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

Solve

x + 2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x + 2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Add similar elements:

x + 2 x = 3 x

3 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{6}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Solve

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

x + 2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Add similar elements:

x + 2 x = 3 x

3 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

3 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3} : \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3} = \frac{π}{2}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{3 π}{2 \cdot 3}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= \frac{3 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

x = \frac{π}{6} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{3}
