Open in App
Solution

Given that,

sinx+sin3x+sin5x=0 ( sinx+sin5x )+sin3x=0( sinx+siny=2sin x+y 2 cos xy 2 ) 2sin3xcos2x+sin3x=0( cos( x )=cosx ) sin3x( 2cos2x+1 )=0

Hence,

sin3x=0

Or

2cos2x+1=0 cos2x= 1 2

General solution for sin3x=0 ,

3x=nπ x= nπ 3 ( nz )

General solution for cos2x= 1 2 cos2x=cos2y (1)

Here,

cos2x= 1 2 (2)

From equations (1) and (2),

cos2y= 1 2 cos( 2y )=cos( 2π 3 ) 2y= 2π 3

General solution is given by,

2x=2nπ±2y( nz )

For, 2y= 2π 3

2x=2nπ± 2 3 π x=nπ± 1 3 π

Where, nz

Thus, the general solutions are,

For sin3x=0,x= nπ 3

For cos2x= 1 2 ,x=nπ± π 3 where, nz
