tan(x)cos(x)= 1/2

tan (x) cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

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

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (x) cos (x) = \frac{1}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

cos (x) tan (x)

cos (x) tan (x) = sin (x)

cos (x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

= sin (x)

= sin (x)

= sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}
