cos(4x)cos(x)-sin(4x)sin(x)= 1/2

Solution

cos (4 x) cos (x) - sin (4 x) sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

Solution

x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}, x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Degrees

x = 1 2^{\circ} + 7 2^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 7 2^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (4 x) cos (x) - sin (4 x) sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (4 x) cos (x) - sin (4 x) sin (x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (4 x + x)

cos (4 x + x) = \frac{1}{2}

4 x + x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, 4 x + x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

4 x + x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, 4 x + x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Solve

4 x + x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

4 x + x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Add similar elements:

4 x + x = 5 x

5 x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

5 x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} : x

\frac{5 x}{5}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{5}{5} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5} : \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5} = \frac{π}{15}

\frac{\frac{π}{3}}{5}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π}{3 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= \frac{π}{15}

= \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Solve

4 x + x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

4 x + x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Add similar elements:

4 x + x = 5 x

5 x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

5 x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} : x

\frac{5 x}{5}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{5}{5} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5} : \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5} = \frac{π}{3}

\frac{\frac{5 π}{3}}{5}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{5 π}{3 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= \frac{5 π}{15}

Cancel the common factor:

5

= \frac{π}{3}

= \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

x = \frac{π}{15} + \frac{2 πn}{5}, x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{5}
