cos(2x)-1=-sin(2x)

Solution

cos (2 x) - 1 = - sin (2 x)

Solution

x = πn, x = πn + \frac{π}{4}

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (2 x) - 1 = - sin (2 x)

Subtract

- sin (2 x)

from both sides

cos (2 x) - 1 + sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (2 x) - 1 + sin (2 x)

sin (2 x) + cos (2 x) = 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4})

sin (2 x) + cos (2 x)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (2 x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (2 x))

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (cos (\frac{π}{4}) sin (2 x) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (2 x))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4})

= - 1 + 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4})

- 1 + 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + 2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) = 1

2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (2 x + \frac{π}{4}) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( 2 x + \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}
