Exactly. 3x = 90 degrees and angle x is the left angle in the figure. Trig identity says sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) cos(x). But by the figure, cos(x) = sin(2x). So sin(2x) = 2 sin(x) sin(2x) which means that sin(x) = 1/2. Quick and easy!

Sin(x) is opposite over hypotenuse. And the sine of the smallest angle is the upright divided by the hypotenuse, which is labeled "sin(x)". The law of sines says that the sine of an angle divided by the opposite side length makes the same ratio for all three angles. So sine of the smallest angle divided by length 'sin(x)' is the same value as sin(90) divided by sin(3x). sin(x)/sin(x) = sin(90)/sin(3x). So 3x = 90, x = 30. @@flash24g

Buddy lost his train of thought at the end 😢

I got inspired by your video with log triangle and considered the problem e^x, e^(2x) and e^(3x): e^(2x) + e^(4x) = e^(6x) Changing to t = e^(2x) will give t + t^2 = t^3 1 + t = t^2 Since t is positive, we have the only solution t = phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2, which gives x = 0.5 ln(phi). The Pythagorean triangle is therefore with sides sqrt(phi), phi and phi*sqrt(phi)

That was truly beautiful.

On that last triangle you were testing reference angles and you said that one side couldn’t be negative after showing it with math. However, you showed it when you wrote -sqrt3 right above it!

I liked the "do we have a triple angle identity for sine?" at 1:11 followed by the fast-forward replay to the conclusion that we do. Great idea.

The unit circle is the set of points such that x² + y² = 1. If we parametrize it, we get cos²(x) + sin²(x) = 1. So, keeping that in mind, if a triangle has one side as the perpendicular side with length sin(x), that would mean the other sides are cos(x) and 1. You can't scale any triangle in a way where the other sides are otherwise. So, with that in mind, sin(3x) has to be 1. Therefore, arcsin(1) = π/2, and x = π/6. Edit : This is not rigorous and just happened to work because of the assumption that x is the angle that the triangle makes with sin(3x) and the sin(2x), and one side is sin(x). Look at the comments below for more clarification as to why that is

You are right in what you say, but at no time is it said that x is one of the angles of the triangle, it is true that the results coincide, but only by coincidence (proposed manipulation of the values) of what was stated. That is why x=π/3+2nπ is also a solution, since x has nothing to do with the angle of the triangle. They coincide since if we call the angle of the left vertex ϴ then sinx=sin3x*sinϴ sin2x=sin3x*cosϴ dividing sinx/sin2x=sinϴ/cosϴ, this is possible if we assume ϴ=x sinx=sinϴ, ok sin2x=2sinxcosx=cosϴ, only possible if x= π/3. If the hypotenuse had been changed to sin5x, a solution as you indicate would be x= π/10≈0.3141596 But an approximate solution for this case is x≈0.4234166058162681

Although this does work out, it is not necessary for the circle to be a unit circle. sin(x), sin(2x) and sin(3x) are just numbers in the context of this triangle and the parametrization of a unit circle you provided used a dummy variable x (you could have used theta or 'a' or alpha or anything), which is not necessarily the same as the one in the problem. You could scale the triangle so it had a hypotenuse of 1 though, by scaling by 1/sin(3x), then it would be sin(x)/sin(3x), sin(2x)/sin(3x) and hyp 1. Then, for exists SOME value of alpha such that sin(alpha) = sin(x)/sin(3x) and cos(alpha) = sin(2x)/sin(3x). Not sure why would one do this though, since what @@blackpenredpen showed in the video is the "simplest" and pretty much the only way of doing this without unrigorous and baseless pattern matching. Your solution is not "Simple," it's not rigorous -enough- *at all* and it just happened to work out. Also, adding to what @@fisimath40 said, sin(5x) is also just a number and in the example they provided, your method doesn't even work.

Thank you, @fisimath40 and @hiimgood, for your comments. This "method" does not work for other values for the hypotenuse, as @fisimath40 pointed out.

I found a much simpler way btw. If you rearrange so that (sin(3x))^2 - (sin(x))^2 = (sin(2x))^2, then use difference of squares and sum-to-product in each of the factors. You get 4sin(x)cos(x)sin(2x)cos(2x) = (sin(2x))^2. Let sin(x) cos(x) = sin(2x)/2 on the left then divide both sides by sin(2x), getting 2cos(2x) = 1, or cos(2x) = 1/2. Then we immediately get x=30 degrees!

It's much simpler than that. The vertical side if his triangle is obviously the sine of the left hand angle. The bottom side is, likewise, the sine of the top angle. Therefore the one angle is twice the size of the other, and the only right-angle triangles with this property have angles of 30, 60 and 90 degrees.

Nice! Even cooler is the same ratio of sides with all three angles - alpha, beta, and gamma - undetermined. BTW, 5 pi / 3 is in the 4th quadrant, not the third, so that solution is completely valid EVEN THOUGH IT GIVES A NEGATIVE LENGTH, considering the angle as - pi / 6.. Not all negative lengths are invalid in a geometry problem. On occasion, they generate additional valid and interesting solutions involving a reflection of the hypothesized problem. Here though it's just a duplicate of the given solution, except drawn underneath the x-axis.

Using tan(x) = opposite / adjacent and setting it equal to tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x), then substituting cos(x) = adjacent / hypotenuse immediately gives you sin(3x) = 1 without all the algebra and trigonometric substitutions. Then you have x= pi/6 +2npi and you just need to rule out the n congruent to 1 or 2 mod 3 cases, which is easy enough to do as well since triangles have positive side lengths.

Just apply sine rule in so many different ways to get the 3 angles (x, 2x ,3x) of the triangle from the opposite sides. So, 3x = 90 (right angle is opposite to hypotenuse) or x + 2x = 90 (acute angles are complementary in a right triangle) or x + 2x + 3x = 180 (sum of angles of any triangle is 180). All of them imply *x = 30 deg* .

To compute sin(3*x) I started with e^(3*x*i). I got a different expression that finally completly simplifies to cos(x)^2 = 3/4.

I did it differently. I used sin(x)^2=(1-cos(2x))/2, and then some algebraic manipulation. Then i tested 2x=60deg, and it worked, so x must be 30 degrees.

as soon as i got it to a quadratic form i just plugged and chugged the quadratic formula

Actually i think we can change sin^2(x) into 1/2(1-cos2x), likewise for sin^2(2x) and sin^2(3x). Then we can use the product formula and factor them together to get all the solutions.

I have a question. let's say f(x) = e^(x pi/2) As you repeat this function over and over, the value gets larger and larger. Suppose you repeated it infinite times. We know i = e^(i pi/2) If we substitute into itself, we will find the same function as if we repeated f(x) infinite times. Does f(x) tend toward infinity or i as it is repeated infinite times? Edit: Solved my own problem using x=e^((pi/2)x), finding that x=-2(W(-pi/2))/pi, and both i and -i are solutions. Still not sure if infinity is a solution, though.

Hi, just found another solution Lenght / sin(angle) is same for all sides for triangles, so sin(2x)/sin(a) = sin(x)/sin(b) a=2b a+b=90 a=60 x=30

what if we take (sin(x))^2 to the right side and use the difference of squares formula we get smth like (sin(2x))^2 = (sin(3x)+sin(x))(sin(3x)-sin(x)) using the formulas for sin(a) +- sin(b); sin(2x); and cancelling some terms we get sin(2x) = sin(4x) sin(pi - 2x) = sin(4x) pi - 2x = 4x => x = pi/6 + 2npi i feel this is much shorter and easier to understand and the formula for sin(3x) isnt that fun to use

Not related but does deferent branches of the productlog have a closed elementary relationship At least between productlog(-1,x) and productlog(0,x) In other words is there an elementary function such as f(productlog(-1,x),productlog(0,x))=0

I have shortest solution sin^2(x)+sin^2(2x)=sin^2(3x) Take sin^2(x) to RHS sin^2(2x)=[sin3x-sinx]*[sin3x+sinx] Then sin^2(2x)=sin(2x)sin(4x) Cos(2x)=1/2 Hence x=pi/6 Solved😎😎
