Question

√3 sinx - 2sinx cosx = 0
sinx (√3 - 2cosx) = 0
Dont understand how this was factored?

Answer 1

ok so this ca be written as

\[\sqrt{3} \times \sin(x) - 2 \times \sin(x) \cos(x) = 0\]

what is common in both terms is sin(x)

so it can be placed outside the brackets as he common factor

\[\sin(x)(\sqrt{3} - 2\cos(x)) = 0\]

Answer 2

if you distribute in the normal way you will get the original equation....

Answer 3

got it thanks
