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

Solution

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

Solution

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Solve by substitution

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

Let:

sin (2 x) = u

2 u = u

2 u = u : u = 0

2 u = u

Move

u

to the left side

2 u = u

Subtract

u

from both sides

2 u - u = u - u

Simplify

u = 0

u = 0

Substitute back

u = sin (2 x)

sin (2 x) = 0

sin (2 x) = 0

sin (2 x) = 0 : x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

sin (2 x) = 0

General solutions for

sin (2 x) = 0

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

Solve

2 x = 0 + 2 πn : x = πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = πn

x = πn

Solve

2 x = π + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Combine all the solutions

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn
