Find x in inverse trigonometry equation












2














Given an equation: $$sin^{-1}(2x) + sin^{-1}(3x) = frac pi 4$$



How do I find $x$?



I tried solving by differentiating both sides, but I get $x=0$.



How do you solve it, purely using trigonometric techniques?

There is a useful identity that we can use in this case:



$arcsin{x}+arcsin{y}=arcsin{(xsqrt{1-y^2}+ysqrt{1-x^2})}$



From here we can substitute:



$arcsin{(2xsqrt{1-9x^2}+3xsqrt{1-4x^2})}=frac{pi}{4}$



We are then left with:



$2xsqrt{1-9x^2}+3xsqrt{1-4x^2}=sin{frac{pi}{4}}$



From here, you can solve for $x$.

  • When I tried solving the equation, I got x=root(+-(root(17)+5)*10)/20. However, on again solving it, I get a completely different answer. Is the answer actually going to be this complicated, given that it is expected to be solved in under 2minutes?

Let $theta_1 = sin^{-1}(2x)$,$theta_2 = sin^{-1}(3x)$. Then,
$$sin(theta_1+theta_2) = sin(theta_1)cos(theta_2)+sin(theta_2)cos(theta_1) = sin(pi/4) = 1/sqrt{2}$$
$$2xsqrt{1-9x^2}+3xsqrt{1-4x^2} = frac{1}{sqrt{2}}.$$
But I don't know how you would solve this last equation.

I'm gonna derive the general function for $arcsin x$ then go from there.



Recall that
$$sin x=frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}$$
So if $y= arcsin x$, then $$2ix=e^{iy}-e^{-iy}$$
Letting $u=e^{iy}$, we have
$$2ix=frac{u^2-1}{u}$$
$$u^2-2ixu-1=0$$
Use the quadratic formula to find that
$$u=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
Thus
$$e^{iy}=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
$$iy=lnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
$$arcsin x=-ilnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
So we look at your equation:
$$arcsin 2x+arcsin3x=fracpi4$$
$$-ilnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]-ilnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=fracpi4$$
$$lnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]+lnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=frac{ipi}4$$
Using the property $ln(ab)=ln a+ln b$ we see that
$$lnbigg[big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)bigg]=frac{ipi}4$$
Taking $exp$ on both sides,
$$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=e^{ipi/4}$$
Use the formula $e^{itheta}=costheta+isintheta$ to see that
$$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=frac{1+i}{sqrt2}$$
and at this point I used Wolfram|Alpha to see that
$$x=sqrt{frac{13}{194}-frac{3sqrt2}{97}}$$
I will update my answer once I figure out how this result is found

    We need $-1le3xle1$



    But if $xle0,$ the left hand side $le0$



    Now $3x=sin(pi/4-arcsin(2x))$



    $3sqrt2x=sqrt{1-(2x)^2}-2x$



    $sqrt{1-4x^2}=x(3sqrt2+2)$



    Square both sides

      Start with $$2xsqrt{1-9x^2}+3xsqrt{1-4x^2} = frac{1}{sqrt{2}}$$ and square both sides to get
      $$-72 x^4+13x^2+12 sqrt{1-9 x^2} sqrt{1-4 x^2} x^2=frac 12$$ that is to say
      $$72 x^4-13x^2+frac 12=12 sqrt{1-9 x^2} sqrt{1-4 x^2} x^2$$ Let $y=x^2$ to make
      $$72 y^2-13y+frac 12=12 ysqrt{1-9 y} sqrt{1-4 y} $$
      Square again, expand and simplify to get
      $$97 y^2-13 y+frac{1}{4}=0$$ which is simple.

        Recall that
        $$sin x=frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}$$
        So if $y= arcsin x$, then $$2ix=e^{iy}-e^{-iy}$$
        Letting $u=e^{iy}$, we have
        $$2ix=frac{u^2-1}{u}$$
        $$u^2-2ixu-1=0$$
        Use the quadratic formula to find that
        $$u=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
        Thus
        $$e^{iy}=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
        $$iy=lnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
        $$arcsin x=-ilnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
        So we look at your equation:
        $$arcsin 2x+arcsin3x=fracpi4$$
        $$-ilnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]-ilnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=fracpi4$$
        $$lnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]+lnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=frac{ipi}4$$
        Using the property $ln(ab)=ln a+ln b$ we see that
        $$lnbigg[big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)bigg]=frac{ipi}4$$
        Taking $exp$ on both sides,
        $$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=e^{ipi/4}$$
        Use the formula $e^{itheta}=costheta+isintheta$ to see that
        $$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=frac{1+i}{sqrt2}$$

          Recall that
          $$sin x=frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i}$$
          So if $y= arcsin x$, then $$2ix=e^{iy}-e^{-iy}$$
          Letting $u=e^{iy}$, we have
          $$2ix=frac{u^2-1}{u}$$
          $$u^2-2ixu-1=0$$
          Use the quadratic formula to find that
          $$u=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
          Thus
          $$e^{iy}=ix+sqrt{1-x^2}$$
          $$iy=lnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
          $$arcsin x=-ilnbig[ix+sqrt{1-x^2}big]$$
          So we look at your equation:
          $$arcsin 2x+arcsin3x=fracpi4$$
          $$-ilnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]-ilnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=fracpi4$$
          $$lnbig[2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big]+lnbig[3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big]=frac{ipi}4$$
          Using the property $ln(ab)=ln a+ln b$ we see that
          $$lnbigg[big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)bigg]=frac{ipi}4$$
          Taking $exp$ on both sides,
          $$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=e^{ipi/4}$$
          Use the formula $e^{itheta}=costheta+isintheta$ to see that
          $$big(2ix+sqrt{1-4x^2}big)big(3ix+sqrt{1-9x^2}big)=frac{1+i}{sqrt2}$$
          and at this point I used Wolfram|Alpha to see that
          $$x=sqrt{frac{13}{194}-frac{3sqrt2}{97}}$$
          I will update my answer once I figure out how this result is found

                                0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
