sin(60-x)-sin(60+x)=(sqrt(3))/2

Solution

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) - sin (6 0^{\circ} + x) = \frac{3}{2}

Solution

x = - 6 0^{\circ} - 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 12 0^{\circ} - 36 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = - \frac{π}{3} - 2 πn, x = - \frac{2 π}{3} - 2 πn

Solution steps

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) - sin (6 0^{\circ} + x) = \frac{3}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (6 0^{\circ} - x) - sin (6 0^{\circ} + x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) - sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s - t}{2}) cos (\frac{s + t}{2})

= 2 sin (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x )}{2}) cos (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x + 6 0 ^{\circ} + x}{2})

Simplify

2 sin (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x )}{2}) cos (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x + 6 0 ^{\circ} + x}{2}) : sin (- x)

2 sin (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x )}{2}) cos (\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x + 6 0 ^{\circ} + x}{2})

\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x )}{2} = - x

\frac{6 0 ^{\circ} - x - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x )}{2}

Join

6 0^{\circ} - x - (6 0^{\circ} + x) : - 2 x

6 0^{\circ} - x - (6 0^{\circ} + x)

Convert element to fraction:

x = \frac{x 3}{3}, (x + 6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x ) 3}{3}

= 6 0^{\circ} - \frac{x \cdot 3}{3} - \frac{( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x ) \cdot 3}{3}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} - x \cdot 3 - ( 6 0 ^{\circ} + x ) \cdot 3}{3}

Expand

18 0^{\circ} - x \cdot 3 - (6 0^{\circ} + x) \cdot 3 : - 6 x

18 0^{\circ} - x \cdot 3 - (6 0^{\circ} + x) \cdot 3

= 18 0^{\circ} - 3 x - 3 (6 0^{\circ} + x)

Expand

- 3 (6 0^{\circ} + x) : - 18 0^{\circ} - 3 x

- 3 (6 0^{\circ} + x)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

a = - 3, b = 6 0^{\circ}, c = x

= - 3 \cdot 6 0^{\circ} + (- 3) x

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 3 \cdot 6 0^{\circ} - 3 x

3 \cdot 6 0^{\circ} = 18 0^{\circ}

3 \cdot 6 0^{\circ}

Multiply fractions:
