e ⇔2((1/2)cosx−((√3)/2)sinx)=1 ⇒  cos((π/3))cosx−sin((π/3))sinx=(1/2)  ⇒cos(x+(π/3))=cos((π/3)) ⇒  x+(π/3) =(π/3)+2kπ or x+(π/3)=((2π)/3)+2kπ (kfrom Z)  ⇒x=3kπ or =(π/3)+2kπ

$${e}\:\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{2}\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{cosx}−\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}{sinx}\right)=\mathrm{1}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right){cosx}−{sin}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right){sinx}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{cos}\left({x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right)={cos}\left(\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\right)\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$${x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}{k}\pi\:{or}\:{x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}{k}\pi\:\left({kfrom}\:{Z}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{3}{k}\pi\:{or}\:=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}{k}\pi \\ $$

error of typo  x=2kπ or x=(π/3)+2kπ

$${error}\:{of}\:{typo}\:\:{x}=\mathrm{2}{k}\pi\:{or}\:{x}=\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}+\mathrm{2}{k}\pi \\ $$

cos(90°−x)−(√3) sinx=1  sin x − (√3) sin x=1  sin x(1−(√3) )=1  sin x=(1/(1−(√3))) × ((1+(√3))/(1+(√3)))   sin x=((1+1.732)/(1−3))  sin x=((2.732)/(−2))  sin x=−1.366

$${cos}\left(\mathrm{90}°−{x}\right)−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:{sinx}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${sin}\:{x}\:−\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:{sin}\:{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${sin}\:{x}\left(\mathrm{1}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${sin}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\:×\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}\: \\ $$$${sin}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{732}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${sin}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{732}}{−\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{sin}}\:\boldsymbol{{x}}=−\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{366} \\ $$
