A Problem From ARML-NYSML Math Contests

[@FisicTrapella]

cos x = - sin x If sin x = cos x, that gives us x = (pi)/4. The opposite sign means we are in the 2nd or 4th quadrant Then, x = 3(pi)/4 + n(pi).

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

Finally my method that is so trivial 😂 Without the assumption cos(x) = 0, Divide both sides of the equation by cos^3(x) and multiply both sides of rhe equation to get tan^3(x) = -1. The second and third quadrants have negative tangent values. Evaluate parallelly as in the video from the tangent of an angle = -1 from the quadrant 2 at 3π/4 primary angle analysis in tangent graphs. From Tan(x) or COT(x) function graphs mathematics avoid like a plague to prefer Sin(x) and Cos(x) continuous function properties in all x values. 😂🤣

Copy paste not allowed ! Equation gives : (tan(x))^3 = -1 ----> tan(x) = -1 ----> x = -π/4 + n*π

[@CriticSimon]

Why do you freak about copy and paste? Ok, Fine. You got the greatest comment

@@CriticSimon Some wait for others' responses to submit their responses by copying others' work. If you want to send a response send your own creation and don't plagiarize that of others!

@3:00, I think you confused "sine" with "cosine". sine of 90 is 1 whereas cosine of 90 is 0.

[@davidbass5115]

-sin^3(b)=sin^3(-b) sina=cos(90-a) plug in cos^3x = cos^3(90+x) take cube root x=90+x+360k -> no sol I think or x=-(90+x)+360k 2x=-90+360k x=-45+180k in radians x=-pi/4+pik comes out to

I had a course mate in econometrics (maths for economists, so bah!) And we students in a group had great difficulties solving a maths problem. We were all very surprised when the stupidest of us claimed to have found the solution! Until we by a glance saw that he assumed 2=0. Apropo the "we're solving for X here".

Nice job!

Thanks!

(cos ( x) + sin ( x)) * ( 1 - cos ( x) sin ( x)) = 0 cos ( x - π /4) = 0, sin (2x) = 2 x = π /4 + ( n + 1/2) π = ( n + 3/4) π

tan^3 x = -1 tan x = -1 x = nπ - π/4

Thank you!

(cosx)^3 + (sinx)^3 = 0 -> (cosx + sinx)((cosx)^2 + cosxsinx + (sinx)^2) = 0 -> (cosx + sinx)(1 + cosxsinx) = 0 -> cosx + sinx = 0 or 1+ cosxsinx = 0 If 1 + cosxsinx = 0, then cosxsinx = -1. Thus sin2x = -2, which is impossible. So this gives no solutions. If cosx + sinx = 0, then cosx = -sinx. Since sin and cos are both 0 for the same x, x must be a radian value in the second or fourth quadrant. For the second quadrant, we have 3pi/4 + 2npi. For the fourth quadrant, we have -pi/4 + 2npi. Combining these, we have the set of solutions x = -pi/4 + npi. So x = -pi/4 + npi for any integer n.

[@joyneelrocks]

For the cos(x) + sin(x) = 0 case, just square both sides and life is simple: cos^2(x) + 2cos(x)sin(x) + sin^2(x) = 0 sin(2x) + 1 = 0 2x = -π/2 + 2πn, where n in Z So x = -π/4 + πn

[@ianfowler9340]

short and sweet!

[@ianfowler9340]

Whoops. sin(pi/2) = 1 not 0. Any linear combination of sine and cosine with the same period can be written as a single sine or cosine. sin(x) + cos(x) = 0 sqrt(2) sin( x + pi/4) = 0 x +pi/4 = k*pi x = - pi/4 + k*pi or if you prefer x = 7*pi/4 + k*pi as some prefer to have k=0 produce an angle between 0 and 2pi.

[@AmirgabYT2185]

x=-π/4+πn, n→Z

[@tixanthrope]

Am I mssing sthg here? the original equation directly implies that cos x = -sin x which implies x = 3 pi / 4 + n pi, where n is any integer.

[@vladimirkaplun5774]

You must be joking! Solving tan^3 x=-1 for almost 10 mins!
