We'll shift the term cos 4x to the right
side:
2 sin x*sin 3x = cos
4x
Now, we'll transform the left side into a difference of
2 cosines.
2 sin x*sin 3x = cos b - cos
a
We'll consider x = (a+b)/2 => a + b = 2x
(1)
3x = (b-a)/2 => -a + b = 6x
(2)
We'll add (1)+(2):
a + b -
a + b = 2x + 6x
2b = 8x
b =
4x
a = -2x
2 sin x*sin 3x =
cos(4x) - cos (-2x)
The equation will
become:
cos(4x) - cos (-2x) = cos
4x
We'll reduce like terms:
-
cos (-2x) = 0
The function cosine is even, therefore cos
(-2x) = cos (2x)
cos (2x) =
0
2x = +/- pi/2 + 2k*pi
x =
+/- pi/4 + 2k*pi
The solutions of the
equation are represented by the set {+/- pi/4 +
2k*pi}.
