sin(x+30)=cos(x+60)

Solution

sin (x + 3 0^{\circ}) = cos (x + 6 0^{\circ})

Solution

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

Radians

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solution steps

sin (x + 3 0^{\circ}) = cos (x + 6 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x + 3 0^{\circ}) = cos (x + 6 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (x)

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= cos (x) cos (6 0^{\circ}) - sin (x) sin (6 0^{\circ})

Simplify

cos (x) cos (6 0^{\circ}) - sin (x) sin (6 0^{\circ}) : \frac{1}{2} cos (x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (x)

cos (x) cos (6 0^{\circ}) - sin (x) sin (6 0^{\circ})

= \frac{3}{2}

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

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

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

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

Subtract

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

from both sides

3 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

3

3 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = 0

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

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

Solve

x = 0 + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = 36 0^{\circ} n

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

0 + 36 0^{\circ} n = 36 0^{\circ} n

x = 36 0^{\circ} n

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