To solve this trigonometric equation, we can combine like terms and use trigonometric identities to simplify it.
First, let's rewrite the equation (√2)sin(3π/2 - x) * sin(x) = cos(x) as:
(√2)sin(3π/2 - x) * sin(x) = cos(x)
Using the trigonometric identity sin(π/2 - θ) = cos(θ), we can rewrite sin(3π/2 - x) as cos(x).
(√2)cos(x) * sin(x) = cos(x)
Now, let's simplify the equation:
√2 cos(x) sin(x) = cos(x)
Now, we can use the identity sin(2θ) = 2sin(θ)cos(θ) to simplify further:
√2 * sin(2x) = cos(x)
Finally, we can divide both sides by √2 to get:
sin(2x) = cos(x) / √2
Since sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x), we can rewrite the equation as:
2sin(x)cos(x) = cos(x) / √2
Next, we can divide both sides by cos(x) to isolate sin(x):
2sin(x) = 1 / √2
Finally, solving for sin(x):
sin(x) = 1 / √2 / 2
sin(x) = 1 / 2√2
Therefore, the solution to the trigonometric equation (√2)sin(3π/2 - x) * sin(x) = cos(x) is sin(x) = 1 / 2√2.
