-sin(x)-2sin(2x)=0

Solution

- sin (x) - 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = 1.82347 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 1.82347 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 104.47751 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 104.47751 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- sin (x) - 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- sin (x) - 2 sin (2 x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= - sin (x) - 2 \cdot 2 sin (x) cos (x)

Simplify

= - sin (x) - 4 sin (x) cos (x)

- sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

- sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x) : - sin (x) (4 cos (x) + 1)

- sin (x) - 4 cos (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

- sin (x)

= - sin (x) (1 + 4 cos (x))

- sin (x) (4 cos (x) + 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or 4 cos (x) + 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

4 cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

4 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

4 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

4 cos (x) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

4 cos (x) = - 1

4 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

4

4 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 cos ( x )}{4} = \frac{- 1}{4}

Simplify

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{4}

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{4}

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{4}

General solutions for

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{4}

cos (x) = - a \Rightarrow x = arccos (- a) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- a) + 2 πn

x = arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

x = arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn, x = - arccos (- \frac{1}{4}) + 2 πn

Show solutions in decimal form

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = 1.82347 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 1.82347 \dots + 2 πn
