To solve these trigonometric equations, we need to use trigonometric identities and algebraic manipulation to simplify the equations and find the values of x that satisfy them.
Let's start with the first equation:
sinx - √2 sin3x = -sin5x
We can use the sum-to-product identity for sine to rewrite sin3x as sinx cos2x + cosx sin2x. This will allow us to rewrite the equation in terms of sinx and cosx, which will make it easier to solve.
sinx - √2 (sinx cos2x + cosx sin2x) = -sin5x
Simplify the equation by expanding the terms:
sinx - √2 sinx cos2x - √2 cosx sin2x = -sin5x
Now, we can combine the terms with sinx and rearrange the equation:
sinx(1 - √2 cos2x) = -sin5x + √2 cosx sin2x
We can then use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation further. Let's move to the second equation:
cos(70° + x)cos(x - 20°) = 1/2
Use the angle addition formula for cosine to expand the left side of the equation:
Now, use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation further.
After simplifying and solving the equations, we will be able to find the values of x that satisfy both equations. Let me know if you need further help in solving these equations.
