To simplify the given expression, we can rewrite sin(x/2 - π/6) in terms of sinx and cosx.
sin(x/2 - π/6) = sin(x/2)cos(π/6) - cos(x/2)sin(π/6)= sin(x/2)(√3/2) - cos(x/2)(1/2)= (√3/2)sin(x/2) - (1/2)cos(x/2)
Now our expression becomes:
cosx + √3sinx = (√3/2)sin(x/2) - (1/2)cos(x/2)
Using sum-to-product formulas and double angle formulas, we can further simplify the expression:
cosx + √3sinx = (√3/2)(2sin(x/2)cos(x/2)) - (1/2)(2cos^2(x/2) - 1) = √3sinx + √3cos(x) - cos^2(x/2) + 1/2
Solving further, we get:
cos^2(x/2) - cosx + sinx - (√3/2)sin(x) + 1/2 = 0
This is the simplified form of the given expression.
