To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation:
Sin 60° = Cos(3x - 45)°
First, let's simplify the equation:
Sin 60° = Cos(3x - 45)°
Since Sin 60° = 1/2, we can substitute this:
1/2 = Cos(3x - 45)°
To find the value of x, we need to isolate the variable. Let's rearrange the equation:
Cos(3x - 45)° = 1/2
Now, we can take the inverse cosine (or arccos) of both sides to get rid of the cosine function:
3x - 45 = arccos(1/2)
Since 0° ≤ x ≤ π/2, x can be in the first or second quadrant. In both quadrants, the cosine function is positive, so we can rewrite the equation as:
3x - 45 = arccos(1/2)
We know that the cosine of 60° is equal to 1/2, so the arccos of 1/2 is 60°:
3x - 45 = 60°
Now, let's solve for x:
3x = 60° + 45
3x = 105°
x = 105° / 3
x = 35°
Therefore, the value of x is 35°.
