sin(3x)=sin(6x)

Solution

sin (3 x) = sin (6 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{4 πn}{9}, x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{4 πn}{9}, x = \frac{4 πn}{3}, x = \frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{4 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 2 0^{\circ} + 8 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 8 0^{\circ} n, x = 0^{\circ} + 24 0^{\circ} n, x = 12 0^{\circ} + 24 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (3 x) = sin (6 x)

Subtract

sin (6 x)

from both sides

sin (3 x) - sin (6 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 x) - sin (6 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{3 x - 6 x}{2}) cos (\frac{3 x + 6 x}{2})

Simplify

2 sin (\frac{3 x - 6 x}{2}) cos (\frac{3 x + 6 x}{2}) : - 2 cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) sin (\frac{3 x}{2})

2 sin (\frac{3 x - 6 x}{2}) cos (\frac{3 x + 6 x}{2})

\frac{3 x - 6 x}{2} = - \frac{3 x}{2}

\frac{3 x - 6 x}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 x - 6 x = - 3 x

= \frac{- 3 x}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{3 x}{2}

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

Use the negative angle identity:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

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

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

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

Add similar elements:

3 x + 6 x = 9 x

= - 2 cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) sin (\frac{3 x}{2})

= - 2 cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) sin (\frac{3 x}{2})

- 2 cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) sin (\frac{3 x}{2}) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) = 0 or sin (\frac{3 x}{2}) = 0

cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{9} + \frac{4 πn}{9}, x = \frac{π}{3} + \frac{4 πn}{9}

cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) = 0

cos (\frac{9 x}{2}) = 0
