cos(2x)=sin(70+x)

Solution

cos (2 x) = sin (7 0^{\circ} + x)

Solution

x = \frac{324 0 ^{\circ} n + 18 0 ^{\circ}}{27}, x = - \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} + 324 0 ^{\circ} n}{9}

Radians

x = \frac{π}{27} + \frac{18 π}{27} n, x = - \frac{π}{9} - \frac{18 π}{9} n

Solution steps

cos (2 x) = sin (7 0^{\circ} + x)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (2 x) = sin (7 0^{\circ} + x)

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

cos (2 x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - 2 x)

cos (2 x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - 2 x)

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (2 x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - 2 x)

sin (x) = sin (y) \Rightarrow x = y + 2 π n, x = π - y + 2 π n

7 0^{\circ} + x = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n, 7 0^{\circ} + x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - 2 x) + 36 0^{\circ} n

7 0^{\circ} + x = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n, 7 0^{\circ} + x = 18 0^{\circ} - (9 0^{\circ} - 2 x) + 36 0^{\circ} n

7 0^{\circ} + x = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n : x = \frac{324 0 ^{\circ} n + 18 0 ^{\circ}}{27}

7 0^{\circ} + x = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n

Move

7 0^{\circ}

to the right side

7 0^{\circ} + x = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n

Subtract

7 0^{\circ}

from both sides

7 0^{\circ} + x - 7 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n - 7 0^{\circ}

Simplify

7 0^{\circ} + x - 7 0^{\circ} = 9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n - 7 0^{\circ}

Simplify

7 0^{\circ} + x - 7 0^{\circ} : x

7 0^{\circ} + x - 7 0^{\circ}

Add similar elements:

7 0^{\circ} - 7 0^{\circ} = 0

= x

Simplify

9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n - 7 0^{\circ} : - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n + 2 0^{\circ}

9 0^{\circ} - 2 x + 36 0^{\circ} n - 7 0^{\circ}

For

9 0^{\circ} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

9

9 0^{\circ} = \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 9}{2 \cdot 9} = 9 0^{\circ}

= 9 0^{\circ} - 7 0^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} 9 - 126 0 ^{\circ}}{18}

Add similar elements:
