Degrees
x=103.94366…∘+72∘n,x=139.94366…∘+72∘n
Solution steps
sin(5x−15)=sin(5x)
Subtract sin(5x) from both sidessin(5x−15)−sin(5x)=0
Rewrite using trig identities
sin(5x−15)−sin(5x)
Use the Sum to Product identity: sin(s)−sin(t)=2sin(2s−t​)cos(2s+t​)=2sin(25x−15−5x​)cos(25x−15+5x​)
Simplify 2sin(25x−15−5x​)cos(25x−15+5x​):−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)
2sin(25x−15−5x​)cos(25x−15+5x​)
25x−15−5x​=−215​
25x−15−5x​
5x−15−5x=−15
5x−15−5x
Group like terms=5x−5x−15
Add similar elements: 5x−5x=0=−15
=2−15​
Apply the fraction rule: b−a​=−ba​=−215​
=2sin(−215​)cos(25x+5x−15​)
Simplify sin(−215​):−sin(215​)
sin(−215​)
Use the following property: sin(−x)=−sin(x)sin(−215​)=−sin(215​)=−sin(215​)
=2(−sin(215​))cos(25x+5x−15​)
5x−15+5x=10x−15
5x−15+5x
Group like terms=5x+5x−15
Add similar elements: 5x+5x=10x=10x−15
=2(−sin(215​))cos(210x−15​)
Remove parentheses: (−a)=−a=−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)
=−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)
−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)=0
Divide both sides by −2sin(215​)
−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)=0
Divide both sides by −2sin(215​)−2sin(215​)−2sin(215​)cos(210x−15​)​=−2sin(215​)0​
Simplifycos(210x−15​)=0
cos(210x−15​)=0
