Assignment 8

Solve the following equation for 0\leq{x}\leq{2\pi}:

\sin(\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{2}-x)=\sin(x+\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{3})

Solution

In this case we have:

\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{2}-x=x+\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{3}+2k\pi, k=0, \pm1, \pm2, ...

x=\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{12}

or:

\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{2}-x=\pi-(x+\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{3})+2k\pi, k=0, \pm1, \pm2, ...

but no value of x can satisfy this equation.
Thus the only solution is:

x=\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{12}=0.28
