sin(2x)=cos(40)

Solution

sin (2 x) = cos (4 0^{\circ})

Solution

x = \frac{90 0 ^{\circ} + 648 0 ^{\circ} n}{36}, x = \frac{234 0 ^{\circ} + 648 0 ^{\circ} n}{36}

Radians

x = \frac{5 π}{36} + \frac{36 π}{36} n, x = \frac{13 π}{36} + \frac{36 π}{36} n

Solution steps

sin (2 x) = cos (4 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (4 0^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

sin (9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ})

sin (2 x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ})

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (2 x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ})

sin (x) = sin (y) \Rightarrow x = y + 2 π n, x = π - y + 2 π n

2 x = 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, 2 x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ}) + 36 0^{\circ} n

2 x = 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, 2 x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ}) + 36 0^{\circ} n

2 x = 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = \frac{90 0 ^{\circ} + 648 0 ^{\circ} n}{36}

2 x = 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Divide both sides by

\frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{2} - \frac{4 0 ^{\circ}}{2} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{9 0 ^{\circ} - 4 0 ^{\circ} + 36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

Join

9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n : \frac{90 0 ^{\circ} + 648 0 ^{\circ} n}{18}

9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Convert element to fraction:

36 0^{\circ} n = \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{1}

= 9 0^{\circ} - 4 0^{\circ} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{1}
