2sin(2x)=cos(2x+30)

Solution

2 sin (2 x) = cos (2 x + 3 0^{\circ})

Solution

x = \frac{0.33347 \dots}{2} + \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

Radians

x = \frac{0.33347 \dots}{2} + \frac{π}{2} n

Solution steps

2 sin (2 x) = cos (2 x + 3 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities

2 sin (2 x) = cos (2 x + 3 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (2 x + 3 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s + t) = cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t)

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

Simplify

cos (2 x) cos (3 0^{\circ}) - sin (2 x) sin (3 0^{\circ}) : \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

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

Simplify

cos (3 0^{\circ}) : \frac{3}{2}

cos (3 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

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

Simplify

sin (3 0^{\circ}) : \frac{1}{2}

sin (3 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (x)

= \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

= \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

2 sin (2 x) = \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

2 sin (2 x) = \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

Subtract

\frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) - \frac{1}{2} sin (2 x)

from both sides

\frac{5}{2} sin (2 x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{5}{2} sin (2 x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x) : \frac{5 sin ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ( 2 x )}{2}

\frac{5}{2} sin (2 x) - \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x)

Multiply

\frac{5}{2} sin (2 x) : \frac{5 sin ( 2 x )}{2}

\frac{5}{2} sin (2 x)

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{5 sin ( 2 x )}{2}

= \frac{5 sin ( 2 x )}{2} - \frac{3}{2} cos (2 x)

Multiply

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

\frac{3}{2} cos (2 x)

Multiply fractions:

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

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

= \frac{5 sin ( 2 x )}{2} - \frac{3 cos ( 2 x )}{2}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{5 sin ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ( 2 x )}{2}

\frac{5 sin ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ( 2 x )}{2} = 0

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

5 sin (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

5 sin (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

cos (2 x), cos (2 x) \neq = 0

\frac{5 sin ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} = \frac{0}{cos ( 2 x )}

Simplify

\frac{5 sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} - 3 = 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

5 tan (2 x) - 3 = 0

5 tan (2 x) - 3 = 0

Move

3

to the right side

5 tan (2 x) - 3 = 0

Add

3

to both sides

5 tan (2 x) - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3

Simplify

5 tan (2 x) = 3

5 tan (2 x) = 3

Divide both sides by

5

5 tan (2 x) = 3

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 tan ( 2 x )}{5} = \frac{3}{5}

Simplify

tan (2 x) = \frac{3}{5}

tan (2 x) = \frac{3}{5}

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (2 x) = \frac{3}{5}

General solutions for

tan (2 x) = \frac{3}{5}

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + 18 0^{\circ} n

2 x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

2 x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solve

2 x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n : x = \frac{arctan ( \frac{3}{5} )}{2} + \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

2 x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = arctan (\frac{3}{5}) + 18 0^{\circ} n

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{arctan ( \frac{3}{5} )}{2} + \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

Simplify

x = \frac{arctan ( \frac{3}{5} )}{2} + \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

x = \frac{arctan ( \frac{3}{5} )}{2} + \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}
