4sin^2(x)cot(x)-3cot(x)=0

Solution

4 sin^{2} (x) cot (x) - 3 cot (x) = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn, x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 sin^{2} (x) cot (x) - 3 cot (x) = 0

Factor

4 sin^{2} (x) cot (x) - 3 cot (x) : cot (x) (2 sin (x) + 3) (2 sin (x) - 3)

4 sin^{2} (x) cot (x) - 3 cot (x)

Factor out common term

cot (x)

= cot (x) (4 sin^{2} (x) - 3)

Factor

4 sin^{2} (x) - 3 : (2 sin (x) + 3) (2 sin (x) - 3)

4 sin^{2} (x) - 3

Rewrite

4 sin^{2} (x) - 3

2^{2}

= 2^{2} sin^{2} (x) - 3

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

3 = (3)^{2}

= 2^{2} sin^{2} (x) - (3)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

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

= (2 sin (x))^{2} - (3)^{2}

= (2 sin (x))^{2} - (3)^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

(2 sin (x))^{2} - (3)^{2} = (2 sin (x) + 3) (2 sin (x) - 3)

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

= cot (x) (2 sin (x) + 3) (2 sin (x) - 3)

cot (x) (2 sin (x) + 3) (2 sin (x) - 3) = 0

Solving each part separately

cot (x) = 0 or 2 sin (x) + 3 = 0 or 2 sin (x) - 3 = 0

cot (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

cot (x) = 0
