tan(arcsin(cos(x)))=-sqrt(3)

Solution

tan (arcsin (cos (x))) = - 3

Solution

x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Solution steps

tan (arcsin (cos (x))) = - 3

Subtract

- 3

from both sides

tan (arcsin (cos (x))) + 3 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

3 + tan (arcsin (cos (x)))

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= 3 + \frac{sin ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}{cos ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}

Simplify

3 + \frac{sin ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}{cos ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )} : 3 + \frac{cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

3 + \frac{sin ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}{cos ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}

Use the following identity:

cos (arcsin (x)) = 1 - x^{2}

= 3 + \frac{sin ( arcsin ( cos ( x ) ) )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

Use the following identity:

sin (arcsin (x)) = x

= 3 + \frac{cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

= 3 + \frac{cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )} + 3 = 0

Solve by substitution

\frac{cos ( x )}{1 - cos ^{2} ( x )} + 3 = 0

Let:

cos (x) = u

\frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} + 3 = 0

\frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} + 3 = 0 : u = - \frac{3}{2}

\frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} + 3 = 0

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

\frac{u}{1 - u ^{2}} 1 - u^{2} + 3 1 - u^{2} = 0 \cdot 1 - u^{2}

Simplify

u + 3 1 - u^{2} = 0

Remove square roots

u + 3 1 - u^{2} = 0

Subtract

u

from both sides

u + 3 1 - u^{2} - u = 0 - u

Simplify

3 1 - u^{2} = - u

Square both sides:

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

u + 3 1 - u^{2} = 0

(3 1 - u^{2})^{2} = (- u)^{2}

Expand

(3 1 - u^{2})^{2} : 3 - 3 u^{2}

(3 1 - u^{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

= (3)^{2} (1 - u^{2})^{2}

(3)^{2} : 3

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (3^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= ((1 - u^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

= 3 (1 - u^{2})

Expand

3 (1 - u^{2}) : 3 - 3 u^{2}

3 (1 - u^{2})

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 3, b = 1, c = u^{2}

= 3 \cdot 1 - 3 u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= 3 - 3 u^{2}

= 3 - 3 u^{2}

Expand

(- u)^{2} : u^{2}

(- u)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- u)^{2} = u^{2}

= u^{2}

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Solve

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2} : u = \frac{3}{2}, u = - \frac{3}{2}

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Move

3

to the right side

3 - 3 u^{2} = u^{2}

Subtract

3

from both sides

3 - 3 u^{2} - 3 = u^{2} - 3

Simplify

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 3

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 3

Move

u^{2}

to the left side

- 3 u^{2} = u^{2} - 3

Subtract

u^{2}

from both sides

- 3 u^{2} - u^{2} = u^{2} - 3 - u^{2}

Simplify

- 4 u^{2} = - 3

- 4 u^{2} = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 4

- 4 u^{2} = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 4

\frac{- 4 u ^{2}}{- 4} = \frac{- 3}{- 4}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

u^{2} = \frac{3}{4}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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