cos(2x+60)=sin(3x)

Solution

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (3 x)

Solution

x = \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}, x = π - \frac{π}{2} + 60 + 2 πn

Degrees

x = - 669.54935 \dots^{\circ} + 7 2^{\circ} n, x = 3527.74677 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (3 x)

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (3 x)

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - x)

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60))

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60))

Apply trig inverse properties

cos (2 x + 60) = sin (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60))

sin (x) = sin (y) \Rightarrow x = y + 2 π n, x = π - y + 2 π n

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn, 3 x = π - (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60)) + 2 πn

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn, 3 x = π - (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60)) + 2 πn

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn : x = \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn

Expand

\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn : \frac{π}{2} - 2 x - 60 + 2 πn

\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60) + 2 πn

- (2 x + 60) : - 2 x - 60

- (2 x + 60)

Distribute parentheses

= - (2 x) - (60)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 2 x - 60

= \frac{π}{2} - 2 x - 60 + 2 πn

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - 2 x - 60 + 2 πn

Move

2 x

to the left side

3 x = \frac{π}{2} - 2 x - 60 + 2 πn

Add

2 x

to both sides

3 x + 2 x = \frac{π}{2} - 2 x - 60 + 2 πn + 2 x

Simplify

5 x = \frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn

5 x = \frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

5 x = \frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

5

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{5} - \frac{60}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{5} - \frac{60}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Simplify

\frac{5 x}{5} : x

\frac{5 x}{5}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{5}{5} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{5} - \frac{60}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5} : \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{5} - \frac{60}{5} + \frac{2 πn}{5}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{\frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn}{5}

Join

\frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn : \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{2}

\frac{π}{2} - 60 + 2 πn

Convert element to fraction:

60 = \frac{60 \cdot 2}{2}, 2 πn = \frac{2 πn 2}{2}

= \frac{π}{2} - \frac{60 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{2 πn \cdot 2}{2}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{π - 60 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2}{2}

π - 60 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2 = π - 120 + 4 πn

π - 60 \cdot 2 + 2 πn \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

60 \cdot 2 = 120

= π - 120 + 2 \cdot 2 πn

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= π - 120 + 4 πn

= \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{2}

= \frac{\frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{2}}{5}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{2 \cdot 5}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 5 = 10

= \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

x = \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

x = \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

x = \frac{π - 120 + 4 πn}{10}

3 x = π - (\frac{π}{2} - (2 x + 60)) + 2 πn : x = π - \frac{π}{2} + 60 + 2 πn
