cot^2(x)-1=0

cot^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cot^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

cot^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

Let:

cot (x) = u

u^{2} - 1 = 0

u^{2} - 1 = 0 : u = 1, u = - 1

u^{2} - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u^{2} - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

u^{2} - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

u^{2} = 1

u^{2} = 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = 1, u = - 1

1 = 1

1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

- 1 = - 1

- 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - 1

u = 1, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = cot (x)

cot (x) = 1, cot (x) = - 1

cot (x) = 1, cot (x) = - 1

cot (x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

cot (x) = 1

cot (x) = - 1 : x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

cot (x) = - 1

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

Combine all the solutions

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

sin (3 x) = - 1

2 sin (x) + sin (2 x) = 0

2 sin^{2} (x) + sin (x) = 0

tan^{2} (3 x) = 3

cos (x) - 3 sin (x) = 2
