To solve the trigonometric equation 7sin(2x)=sin(7x)−sin(3x), we'll use trigonometric identities and algebraic manipulation to simplify it and find the values of x that satisfy the equation.
Step 1: Apply trigonometric identities
We'll use the following trigonometric identities:
- sin(A+B)=sinAcosB+cosAsinB
- sin(A−B)=sinAcosB−cosAsinB
Step 2: Rewrite sin(7x) and sin(3x) using the above identities
sin(7x)=sin(5x+2x)=sin(5x)cos(2x)+cos(5x)sin(2x)
sin(3x)=sin(5x−2x)=sin(5x)cos(2x)−cos(5x)sin(2x)
Step 3: Substitute the rewritten expressions into the original equation
7sin(2x)=(sin(5x)cos(2x)+cos(5x)sin(2x))−(sin(5x)cos(2x)−cos(5x)sin(2x))
Step 4: Cancel out common terms
7sin(2x)=2cos(5x)sin(2x)
Step 5: Solve for sin(2x)
Divide both sides by 2cos(5x):
sin(2x)=2cos(5x)7sin(2x)
Step 6: Consider possible values
We must be cautious when dividing by cos(5x) since cos(5x) can be equal to zero, which would make the equation undefined. To avoid this, we need to ensure that cos(5x)=0.
Step 7: Solve for x
Let's solve for x by considering two cases:
Case 1: sin(2x)=0
If sin(2x)=0, then 2x=nπ where n is an integer.
Thus, x=2nπ.
Case 2: cos(5x)=0
If cos(5x)=0, then we can divide by cos(5x):
sin(2x)=2cos(5x)7sin(2x).
Now, we can subtract 2cos(5x)7sin(2x) from both sides:
0=sin(2x)−2cos(5x)7sin(2x).
To simplify further, find a common denominator for the terms on the right-hand side:
0=2cos(5x)2cos(5x)sin(2x)−7sin(2x).
Now, factor out sin(2x) from the numerator:
0=2cos(5x)sin(2x)(2cos(5x)−7).
Now, we have two possibilities:
- sin(2x)=0, which corresponds to the solutions from Case 1.
- 2cos(5x)−7=0
Solving for x in the second case:
2cos(5x)=7
cos(5x)=27
However, this equation has no real solutions. The range of the cosine function is [−1,1], and 27 is outside this range, indicating there are no real values of x that satisfy this equation.
So, the solutions to the original equation 7sin(2x)=sin(7x)−sin(3x) are x=2nπ, where n
