6sin(x/2)+6cos(x)=0

Solution

6 sin (\frac{x}{2}) + 6 cos (x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{7 π}{3} + 4 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{3} + 4 πn, x = π + 4 πn

Degrees

x = 42 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 66 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 72 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

6 sin (\frac{x}{2}) + 6 cos (x) = 0

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

6 sin (u) + 6 cos (2 u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

6 cos (2 u) + 6 sin (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

cos (2 x) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 6 (1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) + 6 sin (u)

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) \cdot 6 + 6 sin (u) = 0

Solve by substitution

(1 - 2 sin^{2} (u)) \cdot 6 + 6 sin (u) = 0

Let:

sin (u) = u

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 6 + 6 u = 0

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 6 + 6 u = 0 : u = - \frac{1}{2}, u = 1

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 6 + 6 u = 0

Expand

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 6 + 6 u : 6 - 12 u^{2} + 6 u

(1 - 2 u^{2}) \cdot 6 + 6 u

= 6 (1 - 2 u^{2}) + 6 u

Expand

6 (1 - 2 u^{2}) : 6 - 12 u^{2}

6 (1 - 2 u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 6, b = 1, c = 2 u^{2}

= 6 \cdot 1 - 6 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Simplify

6 \cdot 1 - 6 \cdot 2 u^{2} : 6 - 12 u^{2}

6 \cdot 1 - 6 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 1 = 6

= 6 - 6 \cdot 2 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 2 = 12

= 6 - 12 u^{2}

= 6 - 12 u^{2}

= 6 - 12 u^{2} + 6 u

6 - 12 u^{2} + 6 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

- 12 u^{2} + 6 u + 6 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- 12 u^{2} + 6 u + 6 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 12, b = 6, c = 6

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 6 \pm 6 ^{2} - 4 ( - 12 ) \cdot 6}{2 ( - 12 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 6 \pm 6 ^{2} - 4 ( - 12 ) \cdot 6}{2 ( - 12 )}

6^{2} - 4 (- 12) \cdot 6 = 18

6^{2} - 4 (- 12) \cdot 6

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 6^{2} + 4 \cdot 12 \cdot 6

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 12 \cdot 6 = 288

= 6^{2} + 288

6^{2} = 36

= 36 + 288

Add the numbers:

36 + 288 = 324

= 324

Factor the number:

324 = 1 8^{2}

= 1 8^{2}

Apply radical rule:

1 8^{2} = 18

= 18

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 6 \pm 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 6 + 18}{2 ( - 12 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- 6 - 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

u = \frac{- 6 + 18}{2 ( - 12 )} : - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- 6 + 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 6 + 18}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 6 + 18 = 12

= \frac{12}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 12 = 24

= \frac{12}{- 24}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{12}{24}

Cancel the common factor:

12

= - \frac{1}{2}

u = \frac{- 6 - 18}{2 ( - 12 )} : 1

\frac{- 6 - 18}{2 ( - 12 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a

= \frac{- 6 - 18}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Subtract the numbers:

- 6 - 18 = - 24

= \frac{- 24}{- 2 \cdot 12}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 12 = 24

= \frac{- 24}{- 24}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{24}{24}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - \frac{1}{2}, u = 1

Substitute back

u = sin (u)

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 1

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}, sin (u) = 1

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2} : u = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn, u = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn

sin (u) = - \frac{1}{2}
