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

Solution

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

Solution

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

2 sin (2 x)

from both sides

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

2 sin (2 x) = \frac{2 sin ( 2 x ) 2}{2}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} - \frac{2 sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) - 2 sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 2}{2}

sin (2 x) - 2 sin (2 x) \cdot 2 = - 3 sin (2 x)

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= sin (2 x) - 4 sin (2 x)

Add similar elements:

sin (2 x) - 4 sin (2 x) = - 3 sin (2 x)

= - 3 sin (2 x)

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

Apply the fraction rule:

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

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

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

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

Multiply both sides by

2

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

Multiply both sides by

2

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

Simplify

- 3 sin (2 x) = 0

- 3 sin (2 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 3

- 3 sin (2 x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 3

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

Simplify

sin (2 x) = 0

sin (2 x) = 0

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

Solve

2 x = 0 + 2 πn : x = πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = πn

x = πn

Solve

2 x = π + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn
