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

Solution

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

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

- sin (3 x)

from both sides

sin (x) + 2 cos (x) + sin (3 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x) + sin (x) + 2 cos (x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) + sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

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

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

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

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

\frac{3 x + x}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 x + x = 4 x

= \frac{4 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2 x

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

\frac{3 x - x}{2} = x

\frac{3 x - x}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 x - x = 2 x

= \frac{2 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= x

= 2 sin (2 x) cos (x)

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

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

Factor

2 cos (x) + 2 cos (x) sin (2 x) : 2 cos (x) (sin (2 x) + 1)

2 cos (x) + 2 cos (x) sin (2 x)

Factor out common term

2 cos (x)

= 2 cos (x) (1 + sin (2 x))

2 cos (x) (sin (2 x) + 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) = 0 or sin (2 x) + 1 = 0

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

cos (x) = 0

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

2 x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

Simplify

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2} : \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

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

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{2} = \frac{3 π}{4}

\frac{\frac{3 π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{3 π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{3 π}{4}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn
