You typed this:
_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)=-3sin(5x)
but I don't think you meant to type =-
I think you might have meant this instead:
_____sin(5x+______)=6cos(5x)+3sin(5x)
Put A in the first blank and C in the second:
Use the identity
Distribute the A
For this to be an identity and true for all x, the term on the left that
contains sin(5x) must equal the term on the right that contains sin(5x). So:
Divide both sides by sin(5x)
Now we'll do it for the other two terms
{
{{A*sin(5x)cos(C)+A*cos(5x)sin(C)}}}
For this to be an identity and true for all x, the term on the left that
contains cos(5x) must equal the term on the right that contains cos(5x). So:
Divide both sides by cos(5x)
Divide equals by equals
Cancel the A's
So C is the angle whose tangent is 2
So C = arctan(2)
We draw a right triangle that has contains angle C. Since we know that
tangent = opposite/adjacent, we draw the side opposite C as 2 and the side
adjacent to C as 1. Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the
hypotenuse:
Since
Then from the triangle,
So the answer is:

you typed. If you do, I'll get back to you by email.]
