x=30∘+120∘n,x=90∘+120∘n
Solution steps
csc(3x)=sin(3x)
Subtract sin(3x) from both sidescsc(3x)−sin(3x)=0
Rewrite using trig identities
csc(3x)−sin(3x)
Use the basic trigonometric identity: sin(x)=csc(x)1​=csc(3x)−csc(3x)1​
csc(3x)−csc(3x)1​=0
Solve by substitution
csc(3x)−csc(3x)1​=0
Let: csc(3x)=uu−u1​=0
u−u1​=0:u=1,u=−1
u−u1​=0
Multiply both sides by u
u−u1​=0
Multiply both sides by uuu−u1​u=0⋅u
Simplify
uu−u1​u=0⋅u
Simplify uu:u2

Apply exponent rule: ab⋅ac=ab+cuu=u1+1=u1+1
Add the numbers: 1+1=2=u2
Simplify −u1​u:−1

Multiply fractions: a⋅cb​=ca⋅b​=−u1⋅u​
Cancel the common factor: u=−1
Simplify 0⋅u:0
0⋅u
Apply rule 0⋅a=0=0
u2−1=0
u2−1=0
u2−1=0
Solve u2−1=0:u=1,u=−1
u2−1=0
Move 1to the right side
u2−1=0
Add 1 to both sidesu2−1+1=0+1
Simplifyu2=1
u2=1
For x2=f(a) the solutions are x=f(a)​,−f(a)​
