Answer:

Solutions of the equation are 22.5°, 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is sin(5θ) - sin(3θ) = cos(4θ)

We take left side of the equation

sin(5θ) - sin(3θ) = [tex]2cos(\frac{5\theta+3\theta}{2})sin(\frac{5\theta-3\theta}{2})[/tex]

= [tex]2cos(4\theta)sin(\theta)[/tex] [From sum-product identity]

Now we can write the equation as

2cos(4θ)sin(θ) = cos(4θ)

2cos(4θ)sinθ - cos(4θ) = 0

cos(4θ)[2sinθ - 1] = 0

cos(4θ) = 0

4θ = 90°

θ = [tex]\frac{90}{4}[/tex]

θ = 22.5°

and (2sinθ - 1) = 0

sinθ = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

θ = 30°

Therefore, solutions of the equation are 22.5°, 30°
