Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Start with the given equation:
We are given the equation: \[ \sin(x) + \sin(5x) = \sin(3x) \] We are tasked with finding the solutions of this equation in the interval \(\left( 0, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)\).

Step 2: Use Trigonometric Identities to Simplify:
We will use the sum-to-product identity to simplify the left-hand side of the equation: \[ \sin(x) + \sin(5x) = 2 \sin\left(\frac{x + 5x}{2}\right) \cos\left(\frac{5x - x}{2}\right) \] \[ = 2 \sin(3x) \cos(2x) \] Substituting this into the equation: \[ 2 \sin(3x) \cos(2x) = \sin(3x) \] Now, divide both sides by \(\sin(3x)\) (assuming \(\sin(3x) \neq 0\)): \[ 2 \cos(2x) = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \cos(2x) = \frac{1}{2} \] Step 3: Solve for \(x\):
The general solution to \(\cos(2x) = \frac{1}{2}\) is: \[ 2x = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \] The solution to \(\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \), so: \[ 2x = \frac{\pi}{3} \] Solving for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{\pi}{6} \] Step 4: Check Boundary Conditions:
We must check if \(x = 0\) satisfies the original equation: \[ \sin(0) + \sin(0) = \sin(0) \] which is true, so \(x = 0\) is a solution.

Step 5: Verify the Solutions:
The solutions in the interval \(\left( 0, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)\) are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{\pi}{3} \] Final Answer:
Therefore, the solutions of the equation \(\sin(x) + \sin(5x) = \sin(3x)\) in the interval \(\left( 0, \frac{\pi}{2} \right)\) are \(x = 0\) and \(x = \frac{\pi}{3}\).
