sin(x)tan^2(x)=sin(x)

Solution

sin (x) tan^{2} (x) = sin (x)

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn, x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sin (x) tan^{2} (x) = sin (x)

Subtract

sin (x)

from both sides

tan^{2} (x) sin (x) - sin (x) = 0

Factor

tan^{2} (x) sin (x) - sin (x) : sin (x) (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1)

tan^{2} (x) sin (x) - sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

= sin (x) (tan^{2} (x) - 1)

Factor

tan^{2} (x) - 1 : (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1)

tan^{2} (x) - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

= tan^{2} (x) - 1^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

tan^{2} (x) - 1^{2} = (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1)

= (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1)

= sin (x) (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1)

sin (x) (tan (x) + 1) (tan (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or tan (x) + 1 = 0 or tan (x) - 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

tan (x) + 1 = 0 : x = \frac{3 π}{4} + πn

tan (x) + 1 = 0

Move

to the right side

tan (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

tan (x) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

tan (x) = - 1

tan (x) = - 1
