trigonometric equations


A trigonometric equation values of given trigonometric functionsDlmfMathworldPlanetmath whose arguments are unknown angles. The task is to determine all possible values of those angles. For obtaining the solution one needs the following properties of the trigonometric functions:

  • Two angles have the same value of sine iff the angles are equal or supplementary anglesMathworldPlanetmath or differ of each other by a multiple of full angleMathworldPlanetmath.

  • Two angles have the same value of cosine iff the angles are equal or opposite (http://planetmath.org/OppositeNumber) angles or differ of each other by a multiple of full angle.

  • Two angles have the same value of tangentPlanetmathPlanetmath iff the angles are equal or differ of each other by a multiple of straight angleMathworldPlanetmath.

  • Two angles have the same value of cotangent iff the angles are equal or differ of each other by a multiple of straight angle.

The first principle in solving a trigonometric equation is that try to elaborate with goniometric formulae or else it so that only one trigonometric function on one angle remains in the equation. Then the equation is usually resolved to the form

f(kx)=a,(1)

where k and a are known numbers and f is one of the functionsMathworldPlanetmath sin, cos, tan, cot. Thereafter one can solve the values of the angle kx and, dividing these by k, at last the values of the angle x.

Example 1.

sinxcosx+14=0
2sinxcosx=-12
sin2x=-12
sin2x=sin210
2x=210+n3602x=180-210+n360
x=105+n180x=-15+n180

On the third line one used the double angle formula of sine.

It may happen that the form (1) cannot be attained, but instead e.g. the form

f(kx)=f(α),(2)

where x can be in α.

Example 2.

sin2x=cos3x
cos(90-2x)=cos3x
90-2x=3x+n36090-2x=-3x+n360
-2x-3x=-90+n360-2x+3x=-90+n360
x=18+n72x=-90+n360

On the second line one of the complement formulas was utilized.

Example 3.

sin2x=-sin3x
sin2x=sin(-3x)
2x=-3x+n3602x=180-(-3x)+n360
x=n72x=180+n360

On the second line the opposite angle formula (http://planetmath.org/GoniometricFormulae) of sine was utilized.

Example 4.

cos2x=-cos3x
cos2x=cos(180-3x)
2x=±(180-3x)+n360
x=36+n72x=180+n360

On the second line the supplement formula (http://planetmath.org/GoniometricFormulae) of sine was utilized.
