Hi friends,
We have two graphs, one for f(x)=Cos2x and another for g(x)=3Sin2x for both of them being between 0 - 180 deg.
The question is: Calculate the values for x where f(x) = g(x) if x E (0;180)
Please please help me...all help is always much appreciated!..

Hello juriemagic!
\(f(x)=g(x)\\ cos\ 2x=3sin\ 2x\)
\(u=2x\)
\(cos\ u=3sin\ u\\ cos^2\ u =3(1-cos^2\ u)\\ cos^2\ u=3-3cos^2\ u\\ 4cos^2\ u=3\\ cos\ u=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
\(u=30^{\circ}\\ x=\frac{u}{2}\)
\(x=15^{\circ}\)

Hi asinus,
the memo I have on this sum uses a way different approach, and comes up with 9,22 or 99,22 deg..?

Hello juriemagic! Answer 1 # is wrong!
\(f(x)=g(x)\\ cos\ 2x=3sin\ 2x\)
\(u=2x\)
\(cos\ u=3sin\ u\\ cos^2\ u =9(1-cos^2\ u)\\ cos^2\ u=9-9cos^2\\ 10cos^2\ u=9\\ cos\ u=\pm\sqrt{\frac{9}{10}}=\pm \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}\)
\(u_1=18.435^{\circ}\\ u_2=161.565^{\circ}\)
\(x=\frac{u}{2}\)
\(x_1=9.217^{\circ}\\ x_2=80.783^{\circ}\)
