Grade 11Trigonometry

x + 1) = 3 has the general solution:3x – cos x sin3The equation 4 ( sin x cos
  1. (n pi / 4) + ( 8 /pi)
  2. ( n pi/ 2) + ( 3 pi /8)
  3. n pi (+/– ) (5 pi / 8)
  4. (n pi/4) + ( 7 pi / 4)
  5. 4 sin x cos x (cos^2 x – sin^2 x) = 3 – 4
    2 sin 2x cos 2x = – 1
    sin 4x = – 1
    ( i got it till here but how is below equation dervied)
    4x = 2n * pi + 3pi/2

Dear Meghana
 
sin4x = – 1
 
or you can say 
 
4x = n* pi + (-1)^n * 3 pi/2
 
but when you put n as even and odd and if you combine those two
 
you will get 
 
4x = 2 n pi + 3 * pi/2
