sin(θ)+sin(3θ)=0

Solution

sin (θ) + sin (3 θ) = 0

Solution

θ = πn, θ = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (θ) + sin (3 θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

sin (3 θ) + sin (θ)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) + sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s + t}{2}) cos (\frac{s - t}{2})

= 2 sin (\frac{3 θ + θ}{2}) cos (\frac{3 θ - θ}{2})

Simplify

2 sin (\frac{3 θ + θ}{2}) cos (\frac{3 θ - θ}{2}) : 2 sin (2 θ) cos (θ)

2 sin (\frac{3 θ + θ}{2}) cos (\frac{3 θ - θ}{2})

\frac{3 θ + θ}{2} = 2 θ

\frac{3 θ + θ}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 θ + θ = 4 θ

= \frac{4 θ}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2 θ

= 2 sin (2 θ) cos (\frac{3 θ - θ}{2})

\frac{3 θ - θ}{2} = θ

\frac{3 θ - θ}{2}

Add similar elements:

3 θ - θ = 2 θ

= \frac{2 θ}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= θ

= 2 sin (2 θ) cos (θ)

= 2 sin (2 θ) cos (θ)

2 cos (θ) sin (2 θ) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (θ) = 0 or sin (2 θ) = 0

cos (θ) = 0 : θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

cos (θ) = 0

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn, 2 θ = π + 2 πn

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn, 2 θ = π + 2 πn

Solve

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn : θ = πn

2 θ = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

2 θ = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 θ = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 θ}{2} = \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

θ = πn

θ = πn

Solve

2 θ = π + 2 πn : θ = \frac{π}{2} + πn

2 θ = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 θ = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 θ}{2} = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

θ = \frac{π}{2} + πn

θ = \frac{π}{2} + πn

θ = πn, θ = \frac{π}{2} + πn
