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

Solution

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

Solution

x = 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Express with sin, cos

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + cos (x) + sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

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

- 1 + cos (x) + sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

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

sin (x) sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

sin (x) sin (x) = sin^{1 + 1} (x)

= sin^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= sin^{2} (x)

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}, cos (x) = \frac{cos ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

- 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos (x) cos (x) + sin^{2} (x) = - cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x)

- 1 \cdot cos (x) + cos (x) cos (x) + sin^{2} (x)

1 \cdot cos (x) = cos (x)

1 \cdot cos (x)

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (x) = cos (x)

= cos (x)

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

cos (x) cos (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

cos (x) cos (x) = cos^{1 + 1} (x)

= cos^{1 + 1} (x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= cos^{2} (x)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (x) + cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

= - cos (x) + 1

- cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

- cos (x) = - 1

- cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

- cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 1

\frac{- cos ( x )}{- 1} = \frac{- 1}{- 1}

Simplify

cos (x) = 1

cos (x) = 1

x = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn
