Tan(x) = Sin(x) / Cos(x) Hence Sin(x) / Cos(x) = Cos(x) Sin(x) = Cos^(2)[x] Sin(x) = 1 - Sin^(2)[x] Sin^(2)[x] + Sin(x) - 1 = 0 It is now in Quadratic form to solve for Sin(x) Sin(x) = { -1 +/-sqrt[1^(2) - 4(1)(-1)]} / 2(1) Sin(x) = { -1 +/-sqrt[5[} / 2 Sin(x) = {-1 +/-2.236067978... ] / 2 Sin(x) = -3.236067978...] / 2 Sin(x) = -1.61803.... ( This is unresolved as Sine values can only range from '1' to '-1') & Sin(x) = 1.236067978... / 2 Sin(x) = 0.618033989... x = Sin^(-1) [ 0.618033989...] x = 38.17270765.... degrees.
YES!!!! Sin(2x) = Sin(x+x') Sin(x+x') = SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' I have put a 'dash' on an 'x' only to show its position in the identity. Both x & x' carry the same value. Hence SinxCosx' + CosxSinx' = Sinx Cos x + Sinx'Cosx => 2SinxCosx
sin(x) + cos(x) = sqrt(2) · sin(45°+x)
You need to know the trigonometric formulae for sin and cos of compound angles. sin(x+y) = sin(x)*cos(y)+cos(x)*sin(y) and cos(x+y) = cos(x)*cos(y) - sin(x)*sin(y) Using these, y = x implies that sin(2x) = sin(x+x) = 2*sin(x)cos(x) and cos(2x) = cos(x+x) = cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) Next, the triple angle formulae are: sin(3x) = sin(2x + x) = 3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x) and cos(3x) = 4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x) Then the left hand side = 2*[3*sin(x) - 4*sin^3(x)]/sin(x) + 2*[4*cos^3(x) - 3*cos(x)]/cos(x) = 6 - 8*sin^2(x) + 8cos^2(x) - 6 = 8*[cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)] = 8*cos(2x) = right hand side.
they do have calculators for these questions you knowsin 2x = (sin x)/22 sin x cos x - (1/2)sin x = 02 sin x(cos x - 1/4) = 02 sin x = 0 or cos x - 1/4 = 0sin x = 0 or cos x = 1/4in the interval [0, 360)sin x = 0, when x = 0, 180cos x = 1/4, when x = 75.52, 284.48Check:
