cos(5x)=cos(5+x)

Solution

cos (5 x) = cos (5 + x)

Solution

x = πn + \frac{5}{4}, x = \frac{5}{4} + \frac{π}{2} + πn, x = \frac{2 πn}{3} - \frac{5}{6}, x = - \frac{5}{6} + \frac{π}{3} + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 71.61972 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 161.61972 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = - 47.74648 \dots^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 12.25351 \dots^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (5 x) = cos (5 + x)

Subtract

cos (5 + x)

from both sides

cos (5 x) - cos (5 + x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (5 + x) + cos (5 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

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

= - 2 sin (\frac{5 x + 5 + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - ( 5 + x )}{2})

Simplify

- 2 sin (\frac{5 x + 5 + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - ( 5 + x )}{2}) : - 2 sin (\frac{6 x + 5}{2}) sin (\frac{4 x - 5}{2})

- 2 sin (\frac{5 x + 5 + x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - ( 5 + x )}{2})

5 x + 5 + x = 6 x + 5

5 x + 5 + x

Group like terms

= 5 x + x + 5

Add similar elements:

5 x + x = 6 x

= 6 x + 5

= - 2 sin (\frac{6 x + 5}{2}) sin (\frac{5 x - ( x + 5 )}{2})

Expand

5 x - (5 + x) : 4 x - 5

5 x - (5 + x)

- (5 + x) : - 5 - x

- (5 + x)

Distribute parentheses

= - (5) - (x)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 5 - x

= 5 x - 5 - x

Simplify

5 x - 5 - x : 4 x - 5

5 x - 5 - x

Group like terms

= 5 x - x - 5

Add similar elements:

5 x - x = 4 x

= 4 x - 5

= 4 x - 5

= - 2 sin (\frac{6 x + 5}{2}) sin (\frac{4 x - 5}{2})

= - 2 sin (\frac{6 x + 5}{2}) sin (\frac{4 x - 5}{2})

- 2 sin (\frac{- 5 + 4 x}{2}) sin (\frac{5 + 6 x}{2}) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (\frac{- 5 + 4 x}{2}) = 0 or sin (\frac{5 + 6 x}{2}) = 0

sin (\frac{- 5 + 4 x}{2}) = 0 : x = πn + \frac{5}{4}, x = \frac{5}{4} + \frac{π}{2} + πn

sin (\frac{- 5 + 4 x}{2}) = 0
