2sin^3(x/2)cos(x/2)=cos^2(x/2)sin(x)

Solution

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

Solution

x = π + 4 πn, x = 3 π + 4 πn, x = 4 πn, x = 2 π + 4 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 18 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 54 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 36 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 27 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

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

from both sides

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

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

2 sin^{3} (u) cos (u) - cos^{2} (u) sin (2 u) = 0

Factor

2 sin^{3} (u) cos (u) - cos^{2} (u) sin (2 u) : cos (u) (2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u))

2 sin^{3} (u) cos (u) - cos^{2} (u) sin (2 u)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

cos^{2} (u) = cos (u) cos (u)

= 2 sin^{3} (u) cos (u) - cos (u) cos (u) sin (2 u)

Factor out common term

cos (u)

= cos (u) (2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u))

cos (u) (2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u)) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (u) = 0 or 2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u) = 0

cos (u) = 0 : u = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, u = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) sin (2 u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= 2 sin^{3} (u) - cos (u) \cdot 2 sin (u) cos (u)

cos (u) \cdot 2 sin (u) cos (u) = 2 cos^{2} (u) sin (u)

cos (u) \cdot 2 sin (u) cos (u)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

cos (u) cos (u) = cos^{1 + 1} (u)

= 2 sin (u) cos^{1 + 1} (u)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2 sin (u) cos^{2} (u)

= 2 sin^{3} (u) - 2 cos^{2} (u) sin (u)

2 sin^{3} (u) - 2 cos^{2} (u) sin (u) = 0

Factor

2 sin^{3} (u) - 2 cos^{2} (u) sin (u) : 2 sin (u) (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u))

2 sin^{3} (u) - 2 cos^{2} (u) sin (u)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

sin^{3} (u) = sin (u) sin^{2} (u)

= 2 sin (u) sin^{2} (u) - 2 sin (u) cos^{2} (u)

Factor out common term

2 sin (u)

= 2 sin (u) (sin^{2} (u) - cos^{2} (u))

Factor

sin^{2} (u) - cos^{2} (u) : (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u))

sin^{2} (u) - cos^{2} (u)

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

sin^{2} (u) - cos^{2} (u) = (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u))

= (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u))

= 2 sin (u) (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u))

2 sin (u) (sin (u) + cos (u)) (sin (u) - cos (u)) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (u) = 0 or sin (u) + cos (u) = 0 or sin (u) - cos (u) = 0

sin (u) = 0 : u = 2 πn, u = π + 2 πn
