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

Solution

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

Solution

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 9 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

2 tan (2 x)

from both sides

sin (2 x) - 2 tan (2 x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

sin (2 x) - 2 tan (2 x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= sin (2 x) - 2 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Simplify

sin (2 x) - 2 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} : \frac{sin ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 2 sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

sin (2 x) - 2 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Multiply

2 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} : \frac{2 sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

2 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 2}{cos ( 2 x )}

= sin (2 x) - \frac{2 sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Convert element to fraction:

sin (2 x) = \frac{sin ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} - \frac{sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 2}{cos ( 2 x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 2}{cos ( 2 x )}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 2 sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

\frac{- 2 sin ( 2 x ) + cos ( 2 x ) sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

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

Factor

- 2 sin (2 x) + cos (2 x) sin (2 x) : sin (2 x) (cos (2 x) - 2)

- 2 sin (2 x) + cos (2 x) sin (2 x)

Factor out common term

sin (2 x)

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

sin (2 x) (cos (2 x) - 2) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (2 x) = 0 or cos (2 x) - 2 = 0

sin (2 x) = 0 : x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

sin (2 x) = 0

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn, 2 x = π + 2 πn

Solve

2 x = 0 + 2 πn : x = πn

2 x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = πn

x = πn

Solve

2 x = π + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = π + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{π}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

x = πn, x = \frac{π}{2} + πn

cos (2 x) - 2 = 0 :

No Solution

cos (2 x) - 2 = 0

Move

2

to the right side

cos (2 x) - 2 = 0

Add

2

to both sides

cos (2 x) - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2

Simplify

cos (2 x) = 2

cos (2 x) = 2
