x=9∘+36∘n,x=11.25∘+45∘n
Solution steps
sin(9x)−cos(x)=0
Add cos(x) to both sidessin(9x)=cos(x)
Rewrite using trig identities
sin(9x)=cos(x)
Use the following identity: cos(x)=sin(2π​−x)sin(9x)=sin(2π​−x)
sin(9x)=sin(2π​−x)
Apply trig inverse properties
sin(9x)=sin(2π​−x)
sin(x)=sin(y)⇒x=y+2πn,x=π−y+2πn9x=2π​−x+2πn,9x=π−(2π​−x)+2πn
9x=2π​−x+2πn,9x=π−(2π​−x)+2πn
9x=2π​−x+2πn:x=20π+4πn​
9x=2π​−x+2πn
Move xto the left side
9x=2π​−x+2πn
Add x to both sides9x+x=2π​−x+2πn+x
Simplify10x=2π​+2πn
