please help!!! will give medal! its a trig proof
\[\sin(2x) + \cos(3x) = 0\]
Well this is not a proof
This is an equation
well i mean prove it
It can't be proven, it's not always true
You mean solve it?
well, if you were to attempt it, what would you do?
So it's proof it or solve it -_-
i guess it's solving
Subtract sin(2x) from both sides
okay \[\cos(3x) = -\sin(2x)\]
Put the negative inside the sine
so\[\cos(3x) = (-\sin(2x))\]
I mean \(\cos(3x)=\sin(-2x)\)
You now have two options
Either you change cosine to sine, or you change sine to cosine.
\[\begin{array}{rcl} \sin(2x)+\cos(3x)&=&0\\ \cos(3x)&=&-\sin(2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\sin(-2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\cos(90^\circ+2x)\\ 3x&=&90^\circ+2x\\ x&=&90^\circ \end{array}\]
could that be written in terms of \[\pi \]
\[\begin{array}{rcl} \sin(2x)+\cos(3x)&=&0\\ \cos(3x)&=&-\sin(2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\sin(-2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\cos(\frac\pi2+2x)\\ 3x&=&\frac\pi2+2x\\ x&=&\frac\pi2 \end{array}\]
What's the range of x?
the question asks for the answers of x to be between (0, 2pi
\[\begin{array}{rcl} \sin(2x)+\cos(3x)&=&0\\ \cos(3x)&=&-\sin(2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\sin(-2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\cos(\frac\pi2+2x)\\ 3x=\frac\pi2+2x&or&3x=2\pi-\frac\pi2-2x\\ x=\frac\pi2&or&5x=\frac{3\pi}2\\ x=\frac\pi2&or&x=\frac{3\pi}{10} \end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{rcl} \sin(2x)+\cos(3x)&=&0\\ \cos(3x)&=&-\sin(2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\sin(-2x)\\ \cos(3x)&=&\cos(\frac\pi2+2x)\\ 3x=\frac\pi2+2x&or&3x=2\pi-\frac\pi2-2x&or&\cdots\\ x=\frac\pi2&or&5x=\frac{3\pi}2&or&5x=\frac{7\pi}2\\ x=\frac\pi2&or&x=\frac{3\pi}{10}&or&x=\frac{7\pi}{10}&or&\cdots \end{array}\]
