Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Simplify the given equation to find tan⁡(2x+30)\tan(2x+30).

    We are given the equation:

    2sin⁡(2x+30)=3cos⁡(2x+30)2 \sin(2x + 30) = 3 \cos(2x + 30)

    Divide both sides by cos⁡(2x+30)\cos(2x + 30):

    2sin⁡(2x+30)cos⁡(2x+30)=3cos⁡(2x+30)cos⁡(2x+30)\frac{2 \sin(2x + 30)}{\cos(2x + 30)} = \frac{3 \cos(2x + 30)}{\cos(2x + 30)} 2tan⁡(2x+30)=32 \tan(2x + 30) = 3 tan⁡(2x+30)=32\tan(2x + 30) = \frac{3}{2}
  2. Use trigonometric identities to express sin⁡(90−2x)\sin(90 - 2x) in terms of cos⁡(2x)\cos(2x).

    We know the co-function identity:

    sin⁡(90∘−θ)=cos⁡(θ)\sin(90^\circ - \theta) = \cos(\theta)

    Therefore, for θ=2x\theta = 2x:

    sin⁡(90∘−2x)=cos⁡(2x)\sin(90^\circ - 2x) = \cos(2x)

    Our goal is to find the value of cos⁡(2x)\cos(2x).

  3. Use the tangent value to find sin⁡(2x+30)\sin(2x+30) and cos⁡(2x+30)\cos(2x+30).

    Let α=2x+30\alpha = 2x + 30. We have tan⁡(α)=32\tan(\alpha) = \frac{3}{2}.
    We can construct a right-angled triangle where the opposite side to angle α\alpha is 3 and the adjacent side is 2.
    Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse hh is:

    h=32+22=9+4=13h = \sqrt{3^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}

    From this triangle, we can find sin⁡(α)\sin(\alpha) and cos⁡(α)\cos(\alpha):

    sin⁡(α)=oppositehypotenuse=313\sin(\alpha) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} cos⁡(α)=adjacenthypotenuse=213\cos(\alpha) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}
  4. Express cos⁡(2x)\cos(2x) using the angle subtraction formula.

    We know that 2x=α−30∘2x = \alpha - 30^\circ.
    Using the cosine subtraction formula cos⁡(A−B)=cos⁡Acos⁡B+sin⁡Asin⁡B\cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B:

    cos⁡(2x)=cos⁡(α−30∘)=cos⁡(α)cos⁡(30∘)+sin⁡(α)sin⁡(30∘)\cos(2x) = \cos(\alpha - 30^\circ) = \cos(\alpha) \cos(30^\circ) + \sin(\alpha) \sin(30^\circ)

    We know the exact values for cos⁡(30∘)\cos(30^\circ) and sin⁡(30∘)\sin(30^\circ):

    cos⁡(30∘)=32\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} sin⁡(30∘)=12\sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}

    Substitute the values of sin⁡(α)\sin(\alpha), cos⁡(α)\cos(\alpha), sin⁡(30∘)\sin(30^\circ), and cos⁡(30∘)\cos(30^\circ):

    cos⁡(2x)=(213)(32)+(313)(12)\cos(2x) = \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) cos⁡(2x)=23213+3213\cos(2x) = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{13}} + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{13}} cos⁡(2x)=23+3213\cos(2x) = \frac{2\sqrt{3} + 3}{2\sqrt{13}}
  5. Calculate the numerical value and round to 4 decimal places.

    cos⁡(2x)=23+3213\cos(2x) = \frac{2\sqrt{3} + 3}{2\sqrt{13}}

    Using approximate values:

    3≈1.7320508\sqrt{3} \approx 1.7320508 13≈3.6055513\sqrt{13} \approx 3.6055513 cos⁡(2x)≈2(1.7320508)+32(3.6055513)\cos(2x) \approx \frac{2(1.7320508) + 3}{2(3.6055513)} cos⁡(2x)≈3.4641016+37.2111026\cos(2x) \approx \frac{3.4641016 + 3}{7.2111026} cos⁡(2x)≈6.46410167.2111026\cos(2x) \approx \frac{6.4641016}{7.2111026} cos⁡(2x)≈0.89641009\cos(2x) \approx 0.89641009

    Rounding to 4 decimal places:

    cos⁡(2x)≈0.8964\cos(2x) \approx 0.8964

    Since sin⁡(90∘−2x)=cos⁡(2x)\sin(90^\circ - 2x) = \cos(2x),

    sin⁡(90∘−2x)≈0.8964\sin(90^\circ - 2x) \approx 0.8964

    The final answer is 0.8964\boxed{0.8964}.
