solve
sin(x) + sin(x + 14π/3) + sin(x - 8π/3) = 0
thanks in advance! please show me your steps
sin(x) + sin(x + 14π/3) + sin(x - 8π/3) = 0
thanks in advance! please show me your steps

LHS = sin(x) + sin(x + 14π/3) + sin(x - 8π/3)
= sin(x) + sin(x + 2π/3) + sin(x - 2π/3)
= sin(x) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) + cos(x)sin(2π/3) + sin(x)cos(-2π/3) + cos(x)sin(-2π/3)
= sin(x) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) + cos(x)sin(2π/3) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) - cos(x)sin(2π/3)
= sin(x) + 2sin(x)cos(2π/3)
= sin(x) + 2sin(x)(-1/2)
= sin(x) - sin(x)
= 0
= RHS
Here are a few identities that may address your followup questions:
sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B)
sin(-A) = -sin(A)
cos(-A) = cos(A)
= sin(x) + sin(x + 2π/3) + sin(x - 2π/3)
= sin(x) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) + cos(x)sin(2π/3) + sin(x)cos(-2π/3) + cos(x)sin(-2π/3)
= sin(x) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) + cos(x)sin(2π/3) + sin(x)cos(2π/3) - cos(x)sin(2π/3)
= sin(x) + 2sin(x)cos(2π/3)
= sin(x) + 2sin(x)(-1/2)
= sin(x) - sin(x)
= 0
= RHS

sin(x) + sin(x + 14π/3) + sin(x - 8π/3) = 0
First, you substitute the sins to the parentheses.
sin(x)+ sin(x)+ sin(14π/3)+ sin(x)- sin(8π/3) = 0
Next, you add all the single sins. There are 3 single sins with just an x
3sin(x)+ sin(14π/3)- sin(8π/3) = 0
The complex sins with what is in the parentheses have the same denominator. all you do is subtract what is in the parentheses. 14-8=6
3sin(x)+ sin(6π/3)= 0
Subtract sin(6π/3) from both sides
3sin= -sin(6π/3)
Divide both side by 3
sin= sin(2π)
After that, i don't know. (I hope i was able to help you a little)
