cos(5x)-sin(2x)-cos(x)=0

Solution

cos (5 x) - sin (2 x) - cos (x) = 0

Solution

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn, x = \frac{7 π}{18} + \frac{2 πn}{3}, x = \frac{11 π}{18} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 11 0^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (5 x) - sin (2 x) - cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (5 x) - cos (x) - sin (2 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

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

= - sin (2 x) - 2 sin (\frac{5 x + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - x}{2})

2 sin (\frac{5 x + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - x}{2}) = 2 sin (3 x) sin (2 x)

2 sin (\frac{5 x + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - x}{2})

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

\frac{5 x + x}{2}

Add similar elements:

5 x + x = 6 x

= \frac{6 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{2} = 3

= 3 x

= 2 sin (3 x) sin (\frac{5 x - x}{2})

\frac{5 x - x}{2} = 2 x

\frac{5 x - x}{2}

Add similar elements:

5 x - x = 4 x

= \frac{4 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2 x

= 2 sin (3 x) sin (2 x)

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

- sin (2 x) - 2 sin (2 x) sin (3 x) = 0

Factor

- sin (2 x) - 2 sin (2 x) sin (3 x) : - sin (2 x) (2 sin (3 x) + 1)

- sin (2 x) - 2 sin (2 x) sin (3 x)

Factor out common term

- sin (2 x)

= - sin (2 x) (1 + 2 sin (3 x))

- sin (2 x) (2 sin (3 x) + 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (2 x) = 0 or 2 sin (3 x) + 1 = 0

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

sin (2 x) = 0

sin (2 x) = 0
