without using calculator,find all the angles in between 0' and 360' which satisfy the following trigonometric equation. sin3x=cos(90'-2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the difference identity on cos (90-2x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

difference identity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, there's an identity for simplifying cos (a-b) to something else but i'm too lazy to look it up today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and for the sin 3x http://library.thinkquest.org/17119/media/3_211.gif

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it like that? 3sinx-4sin^3 x= cos90cos2x+sin90sin2x 3sinx-4sin^3 x=sin2x 3sinx-4sin^3 x -sin 2x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now use the double angle identity for sin 2x
