sin(x)=(-sin(2x))/2

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

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

from both sides

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

Simplify

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

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

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

2 sin (x) + sin (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (2 x) + 2 sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

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

Factor

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

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

Factor out common term

2 sin (x)

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

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

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or cos (x) + 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 1
