3cos(4x)-2= 3/2 sin(8x)-2

Solution

3 cos (4 x) - 2 = \frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) - 2

Solution

x = \frac{π + 4 πn}{8}, x = \frac{3 π + 4 πn}{8}

Degrees

x = 22. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 67. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 cos (4 x) - 2 = \frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) - 2

Subtract

\frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) - 2

from both sides

3 cos (4 x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) = 0

Simplify

3 cos (4 x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) : \frac{6 cos ( 4 x ) - 3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

3 cos (4 x) - \frac{3}{2} sin (8 x)

Multiply

\frac{3}{2} sin (8 x) : \frac{3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

\frac{3}{2} sin (8 x)

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

= 3 cos (4 x) - \frac{3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

3 cos (4 x) = \frac{3 cos ( 4 x ) 2}{2}

= \frac{3 cos ( 4 x ) \cdot 2}{2} - \frac{3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{3 cos ( 4 x ) \cdot 2 - 3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 2 = 6

= \frac{6 cos ( 4 x ) - 3 sin ( 8 x )}{2}

\frac{6 cos ( 4 x ) - 3 sin ( 8 x )}{2} = 0

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

6 cos (4 x) - 3 sin (8 x) = 0

Let:

u = 4 x

6 cos (u) - 3 sin (2 u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 3 sin (2 u) + 6 cos (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= - 3 \cdot 2 sin (u) cos (u) + 6 cos (u)

Simplify

= - 6 sin (u) cos (u) + 6 cos (u)

6 cos (u) - 6 cos (u) sin (u) = 0

Factor

6 cos (u) - 6 cos (u) sin (u) : - 6 cos (u) (sin (u) - 1)

6 cos (u) - 6 cos (u) sin (u)

Factor out common term

- 6 cos (u)

= - 6 cos (u) (- 1 + sin (u))

- 6 cos (u) (sin (u) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (u) = 0 or sin (u) - 1 = 0

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

cos (u) = 0
