Sagot :

Solutions of the equation are 22.5°, 30°.

The given equation is sin(5θ) - sin(3θ) = cos(4θ)

We take left side of the equation

sin(5θ) - sin(3θ) = 2cos ((5θ+3θ)/2) (sin(5θ-3θ)/2)

=2cos4θsinθ  [From sum-product identity]

Now we can write the equation as

2cos(4θ)sin(θ) = cos(4θ)

2cos(4θ)sinθ - cos(4θ) = 0

cos(4θ)[2sinθ - 1] = 0

cos(4θ) = 0

4θ = 90°

θ = 90/4

θ = 22.5°

and (2sinθ - 1) = 0

sinθ = 1/2

θ = 30°

Therefore, solutions of the equation are 22.5°, 30°
