sin(x)=-sin(x)cos(x)

sin (x) = - sin (x) cos (x)

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (x) = - sin (x) cos (x)

Subtract

- sin (x) cos (x)

from both sides

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

Factor

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

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

Factor out common term

sin (x)

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

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

Solving each part separately

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

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

General solutions for

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

cos (x) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 1

General solutions for

cos (x) = - 1

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

x = π + 2 πn

x = π + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

tan^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) = 1

cos (x) + sin^{2} (x) - cos^{2} (x) = 0

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

sin (x + \frac{π}{2}) = \frac{3}{2}

3 tan (2 x) = - 1
