The correct Answer is:
To find the general solution of the equation \( \sin 7x = \sin 3x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sin 7x - \sin 3x = 0 \] This can be rewritten using the sine subtraction formula. ### Step 2: Apply the sine subtraction formula Using the identity \( \sin A - \sin B = 2 \cos\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \), we have: \[ \sin 7x - \sin 3x = 2 \cos\left(\frac{7x + 3x}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{7x - 3x}{2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ 2 \cos(5x) \sin(2x) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Set each factor to zero For the product to be zero, either factor must be zero: 1. \( \cos(5x) = 0 \) 2. \( \sin(2x) = 0 \) ### Step 4: Solve \( \cos(5x) = 0 \) The cosine function is zero at odd multiples of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ 5x = \left(2n + 1\right) \frac{\pi}{2}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Dividing both sides by 5 gives: \[ x = \frac{(2n + 1) \pi}{10}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Step 5: Solve \( \sin(2x) = 0 \) The sine function is zero at integer multiples of \( \pi \): \[ 2x = n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Step 6: Combine the solutions The general solutions to the equation \( \sin 7x = \sin 3x \) are: \[ x = \frac{(2n + 1) \pi}{10}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] and \[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Final Answer The general solution is: \[ x = \frac{(2n + 1) \pi}{10} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{n\pi}{2}, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
