cos(30+x)-sin(x)=0

Solution

cos (3 0^{\circ} + x) - sin (x) = 0

Solution

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = \frac{π}{6} + πn

Solution steps

cos (3 0^{\circ} + x) - sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (3 0^{\circ} + x) - sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (3 0^{\circ} + x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (3 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - sin (3 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

cos (3 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - sin (3 0^{\circ}) sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x)

cos (3 0^{\circ}) cos (x) - sin (3 0^{\circ}) sin (x)

Simplify

cos (3 0^{\circ}) : \frac{3}{2}

cos (3 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

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

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

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - sin (x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - sin (x) : \frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (x)

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

Add similar elements:

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

- \frac{1}{2} sin (x) - sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

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

- \frac{1}{2} - 1 = - \frac{3}{2}

- \frac{1}{2} - 1

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

= - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 - 1 \cdot 2}{2}

- 1 - 1 \cdot 2 = - 3

- 1 - 1 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= - 1 - 2

Subtract the numbers:

- 1 - 2 = - 3

= - 3

= \frac{- 3}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{3}{2}

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

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

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (x) = 0

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (x) = 0

Simplify

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

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

Multiply

\frac{3}{2} cos (x) : \frac{3 cos ( x )}{2}

\frac{3}{2} cos (x)

Multiply fractions:

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

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

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

Multiply

\frac{3}{2} sin (x) : \frac{3 sin ( x )}{2}

\frac{3}{2} sin (x)

Multiply fractions:

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

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

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

Apply rule

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

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

\frac{3 cos ( x ) - 3 sin ( x )}{2} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Divide both sides by

cos (x), cos (x) \neq = 0

\frac{3 cos ( x ) - 3 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

3 - \frac{3 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = tan (x)

3 - 3 tan (x) = 0

3 - 3 tan (x) = 0

Move

3

to the right side

3 - 3 tan (x) = 0

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 - 3 tan (x) - 3 = 0 - 3

Simplify

- 3 tan (x) = - 3

- 3 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 3

- 3 tan (x) = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 3

\frac{- 3 tan ( x )}{- 3} = \frac{- 3}{- 3}

Simplify

tan (x) = \frac{3}{3}

tan (x) = \frac{3}{3}
