sin(x)cos(x)=-(sqrt(2))/4

Solution

sin (x) cos (x) = - \frac{2}{4}

Solution

x = \frac{5 π}{8} + πn, x = \frac{7 π}{8} + πn

Degrees

x = 112. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 157. 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (x) cos (x) = - \frac{2}{4}

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (x) cos (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

2 sin (x) cos (x) = sin (2 x)

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

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

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = - \frac{2}{4}

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = - \frac{2}{4}

Multiply both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 2 (- \frac{2}{4})

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 2 (- \frac{2}{4})

Simplify

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

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

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= sin (2 x)

Simplify

2 (- \frac{2}{4}) : - \frac{2}{2}

2 (- \frac{2}{4})

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= - 2 \cdot \frac{2}{4}

Multiply fractions:

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

= - \frac{2 \cdot 2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{x ^{a}}{x ^{b}} = \frac{1}{x ^{b - a}}

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

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

Subtract the numbers:

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

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

Apply radical rule:

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

= - \frac{1}{2}

Rationalize

- \frac{1}{2} : - \frac{2}{2}

- \frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

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

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= - \frac{2}{2}

= - \frac{2}{2}

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

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

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