Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
(OP)
I don't even know what this type of equation is really called, so I'm having difficulty even searching for a solution.
I wonder can anyone show a step by step solution to this, or is it purely a case of solving it by iteration?
sin(x) = sin(2x+s)+1
cos(x) = cos(2x+s)
Find x and s to satisfy the two above statements.
I do believe there are at least two solutions to this. (+ve s and -ve s)
(I suppose in this case there are infinite solutions after each period of sin x, since 2x is a direct multiple of x, but in reality if we suppose 2x was replaced by 1.9278x or some other random value, then the solution is no longer going to be every period of sin x).
The solution has a real life application, but I didn't want to include my application lest it just caused more confusion.
Below is an illustration of a graphically guessed solution. (guessed value of s=1.3)
I'm trying to solve where the two waves are tangential.
Thanks

RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
sin(A+B) = sin(A)*cos(B)+sin(B)*cos(A)
cos(A+B) = cos(A)*cos(B)-sin(A)*sin(B)

RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
sin(x) = (sin(2x)*cos(s)+sin(s)*cos(2x))+1
cos(x) = cos(2x)*cos(s)-sin(2x)*sin(s)

If the first derivative of a function gives you the slope of the tangent, you want to determine where the first derivative of one equals the first derivative of the other. The first derivative of each is straightforward, so after that, it's plug and play.

Thanks, but that is exactly what I have already done.
The first equation defines possible intersection points, and the second line is the derivatives of each half of the first statement, hence the two tangents are coincident.

Can you please show it will real numbers to clarify.

RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
Bringing s back in, the only way for cos(x)=cos(2x+s) to work is for the "innards" to be equivalent, as well, i.e., x=2x+s. Solving for s, you get s=-x. No matter what value x is, setting s=-x will provide you with an equivalent value on both sides.
Let x=12°. Therefore, s must equal -12° if you want the two sides to be equivalent. When equivalent, the slopes of the signal at that point (x=12°) are also equivalent. Pick another value for x, same thing. If you plot x and s, they are merely negatives of each other(or out of phase by 180°, pick your viewpoint)...

RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
First thing, I was wrong to assume -ve s and +ve s would give the same results.
I had to do a fudge of s = -ve 1.3 or s = +ve 4.5
@MacGuyver You can see in both these solutions that x and s are not a common value of opposite signs.
In the upper solution, when x is about 3, s is 4.5
and in the lower solution, when x is about 0.1, s is -1.3

The first stage shows the two superimposed sine waves.
Stage two shifts the higher frequency wave upwards by a value of 1, hence the lowest point is tangential with the horizontal axis.
Stage three then slides the higher frequency wave horizontally until it becomes tangent with the lower frequency wave.
Common in the three plots is sin (x)
Then the superimposed wave is:
Plot one has sin(2x+0)
Plot two has sin(2x+0)+1
Plot three has sin(2x-1.3)+1

RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
I still can't see any numbers that show s around -1.3 or 4.5 on the Wolfram page
Is there a fundamental flaw in my equation?
Am I correct in defining my first derivatives of
sin(x) and sin(2x+s)+1
as
cos(x) and cos(2x+s) ???
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
In your graph, however, I see crossings, not identical slopes (like at x=3)... not the same thing. It does not appear as if your "solution" is actually one. You cannot look at a graph like that and pick a solution by eye.
You're also graphing the original equations, not their derivatives. If you graph the derivatives, I think you'll find things are a bit different looking...

There's no need to plot them.
They're shown below by the estimated green line, representing the common tangent point.
Thanks for everyone's input, but it appears not such a simple solution after all.
I had hoped someone might be fit to illustrate it if is was very simple, but it seems not to be the case.
Thanks nevertheless.

Notice that the Implicit Plot has red dots. If you hover your mouse pointer over the red dots, then numbers will magically appear...
{s= -1.5708, x= 0.523599}
{s= 4.71239, x= 0.523599}
...etc.
Perhaps I'm confused, but those values (presumably truncated) appear to be simultaneous solutions to the OP's original formula (the two formula at the very top of this thread). I checked the first example with the first formula, and it worked out as approximately 0.5 = 0.5. But I can't be bothered to check them all.
The Implicit Plot hints that there are an infinite number of solutions. If I understand the WA output correctly, then the 'Results' formulas provides the machinery to generate the solutions. Crank in the c1 and c2 from 'The Set of all Integers'.
Disclaimer: I'm not very good at math, so hopefully this is a correct interpretation.

The following offers a bit more insight into the question you've raised
presumbly the file has uploaded
nonrational equations are always interesting
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
sin(x) = sin(2x+s)+1
cos(x) = cos(2x+s)
since sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 (lhs), we know we can do the same to the RHS
[sin(2x+s)+1]^2 + cos(2x+s)^2 = 1
[sin^2(2x+s) +2*sin(2x+s)+1] + cos^2(2x+s) = 1
subtract 1 each side
sin^2(2x+s) +2*sin(2x+s) + cos^2(2x+s) = 0
Combine sin^2 and cos^2 into 1
1 + 2*sin(2x+s) = 0
sin(2x+s) = -1/2
=====================================
(2B)+(2B)' ?
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
surely line 1 of your solution, (as shown below), doesn't reflect what is stated in post #1
You have stated "2Cos" instead of just "Cos"
Sin(x) = 1 + Sin(2x+s)
Cos(x) = 2Cos(2x+s)
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
Just to clarify my terminology
could maybe have been written more succinctly as
LHS(eq1)^2 + LHS(eq2)^2 = 1 ⇒ RHS(eq1)^2 + RHS(eq2)^2 = 1
The answer given above was
sin(2x+s) = -1/2
for any given value of x you can generate corresponding values of s as follows:
s = asin(-1/2) - 2x
where
asin(-1/2) = [7*pi/6 + n*(2*pi)] or [11*pi/6 + n*(2*pi)]
and n= any integer positive, negative or zero

Is that is an additional requirement that needs to be solved?
If so its an additional constraint on the solution... odd to tack it on at the very end and maybe explains why hacksaw was looking at derivatives.
It would still be a somewhat murky requirement (which two out of the four listed functions LHS(1),RHS(1),LHS(2),RHS(2) are supposed to be tangential and in which plane (y,x) or (y,s).
=====================================
(2B)+(2B)' ?
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
I don't know what you "mean tack it on at the end"
The fourth line of post #1 provides the derivatives of the two equations in the third line of the first post, so the requirement for the tangential solution was there from the very beginning. See below
I don't even know what this type of equation is really called, so I'm having difficulty even searching for a solution.
I wonder can anyone show a step by step solution to this, or is it purely a case of solving it by iteration?
sin(x) = sin(2x+s)+1
cos(x) = cos(2x+s) these are the derivatives from the previous line, hence the common tangent definitions..
RE: Simultaneous trigonometry equation ?
Possibly it is because I didn't lay out my question correctly in the first instance.
For that reason I decided to reformulate the question and create a new post.
Maybe that will help clarify any confusion.
Thanks
