cos(7a)=sin(a-6)

Solution

cos (7 a) = sin (a - 6)

Solution

a = \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}, a = - \frac{π + 4 πn + 12}{12}

Degrees

a = 54.22183 \dots^{\circ} + 4 5^{\circ} n, a = - 72.29577 \dots^{\circ} - 6 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (7 a) = sin (a - 6)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (7 a) = sin (a - 6)

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)

cos (7 a) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a)

cos (7 a) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a)

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (7 a) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a)

sin (x) = sin (y) \Rightarrow x = y + 2 π n, x = π - y + 2 π n

a - 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn, a - 6 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a) + 2 πn

a - 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn, a - 6 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a) + 2 πn

a - 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn : a = \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}

a - 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn

Move

6

to the right side

a - 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn

Add

6

to both sides

a - 6 + 6 = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn + 6

Simplify

a = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn + 6

a = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn + 6

Move

7 a

to the left side

a = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn + 6

Add

7 a

to both sides

a + 7 a = \frac{π}{2} - 7 a + 2 πn + 6 + 7 a

Simplify

8 a = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + 6

8 a = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + 6

Divide both sides by

8

8 a = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn + 6

Divide both sides by

8

\frac{8 a}{8} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{8} + \frac{2 πn}{8} + \frac{6}{8}

Simplify

\frac{8 a}{8} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{8} + \frac{2 πn}{8} + \frac{6}{8}

Simplify

\frac{8 a}{8} : a

\frac{8 a}{8}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{8}{8} = 1

= a

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{8} + \frac{2 πn}{8} + \frac{6}{8} : \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{8} + \frac{2 πn}{8} + \frac{6}{8}

Group like terms

= \frac{6}{8} + \frac{2 πn}{8} + \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{8}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{6 + 2 πn + \frac{π}{2}}{8}

Join

6 + 2 πn + \frac{π}{2} : \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{2}

6 + 2 πn + \frac{π}{2}

Convert element to fraction:

6 = \frac{6 \cdot 2}{2}, 2 πn = \frac{2 πn 2}{2}

= \frac{6 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{2 πn \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{π}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{6 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2 + π}{2}

6 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2 + π = 12 + 4 πn + π

6 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2 + π

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 2 = 12

= 12 + 2 \cdot 2 πn + π

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 12 + 4 πn + π

= \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{2}

= \frac{\frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{2}}{8}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{2 \cdot 8}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 8 = 16

= \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}

a = \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}

a = \frac{12 + 4 πn + π}{16}

a - 6 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a) + 2 πn : a = - \frac{π + 4 πn + 12}{12}

a - 6 = π - (\frac{π}{2} - 7 a) + 2 πn

Expand

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - \frac{π}{2} + 7 a

= π - \frac{π}{2} + 7 a + 2 πn

a - 6 = π - \frac{π}{2} + 7 a + 2 πn

Move
