Combine the fractions

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

3 sin (x) \cdot 2 - 3 cos (x) - 3 sin (x) = 3 sin (x) - 3 cos (x)

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Divide both sides by

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

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

Simplify

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

3 tan (x) - 3 = 0

3 tan (x) - 3 = 0

Move

3

to the right side

3 tan (x) - 3 = 0

Add

3

to both sides

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

\frac{3}{3}

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

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

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

Apply radical rule:

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

= 3
