Full solution

Q. Solve.\newline2sinxcosx=sinx 2 \sin x \cos x=\sin x
  1. Write Equation: First, let's write down the given equation.\newline2sinxcosx=sinx2\sin x \cos x = \sin x
  2. Subtract and Rearrange: Now, we subtract sinx\sin x from both sides to move all terms involving xx to one side of the equation.\newline2sinxcosxsinx=02\sin x \cos x - \sin x = 0
  3. Factor Out: Factor out sinx\sin x from the left side of the equation.sinx(2cosx1)=0\sin x (2\cos x - 1) = 0
  4. Set Equal to Zero: Set each factor equal to zero to find the solutions for xx.sinx=0\sin x = 0 and 2cosx1=02\cos x - 1 = 0
  5. Solve sinx=0\sin x = 0: Solve the first equation sinx=0\sin x = 0. The solutions for xx are the angles where the sine function equals zero. x=nπx = n\pi, where nn is an integer.
  6. Solve cosx=12\cos x = \frac{1}{2}: Solve the second equation 2cosx1=02\cos x - 1 = 0.\newlineAdd 11 to both sides and then divide by 22.\newlinecosx=12\cos x = \frac{1}{2}
  7. Solve cosx=12\cos x = \frac{1}{2}: Solve the second equation 2cosx1=02\cos x - 1 = 0. Add 11 to both sides and then divide by 22. cosx=12\cos x = \frac{1}{2}Find the values of xx where the cosine function equals 12\frac{1}{2}. x=π3+2nπx = \frac{\pi}{3} + 2n\pi or x=5π3+2nπx = \frac{5\pi}{3} + 2n\pi, where nn is an integer.
