3tan^2(x)= 8/(sin^2(x))

Solution

3 tan^{2} (x) = \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Solution

x = 1.07640 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2 π - 1.07640 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2.06518 \dots + 2 πn, x = - 2.06518 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 61.67333 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 298.32666 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 118.32666 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = - 118.32666 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 tan^{2} (x) = \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Subtract

\frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

from both sides

3 tan^{2} (x) - \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )} = 0

Simplify

3 tan^{2} (x) - \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{3 tan ^{2} ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x ) - 8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

3 tan^{2} (x) - \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

3 tan^{2} (x) = \frac{3 tan ^{2} ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{3 tan ^{2} ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} - \frac{8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{3 tan ^{2} ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x ) - 8}{sin ^{2} ( x )}

\frac{3 tan ^{2} ( x ) sin ^{2} ( x ) - 8}{sin ^{2} ( x )} = 0

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

3 tan^{2} (x) sin^{2} (x) - 8 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (x)

tan (x) = - tan (π - x)

tan (x)

Use the following property:

tan (θ) = - tan (- θ)

tan (π + θ) = tan (θ)

- tan (- x) = - tan (π - x)

= - tan (π - x)

= - 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) (- tan (π - x))^{2}

(- tan (- x + π))^{2} = tan^{2} (π - x)

= - 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (π - x)

- 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (- x + π) = 0

Factor

Rewrite

- 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (- x + π)

- (8)^{2} + (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π))^{2}

- 8 + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (- x + π)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

8 = (8)^{2}

= - (8)^{2} + 3 sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (- x + π)

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

3 = (3)^{2}

= - (8)^{2} + (3)^{2} sin^{2} (x) tan^{2} (- x + π)

Apply exponent rule:

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

= - (8)^{2} + (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π))^{2}

= - (8)^{2} + (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

- (8)^{2} + (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π))^{2} = (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 8) (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) - 8)

= (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 8) (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) - 8)

Refine

= (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 22) (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) - 22)

(3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 22) (3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) - 22) = 0

Solving each part separately

3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 22 = 0 or 3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) - 22 = 0

3 sin (x) tan (- x + π) + 22 = 0 : x = arccos (\frac{3 ( - 2 + 5 )}{3}) + 2 πn, x = 2 π - arccos (\frac{3 ( - 2 + 5 )}{3}) + 2 πn

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

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

Use the Angle Difference identity:

cos (s - t) = cos (s) cos (t) + sin (s) sin (t)

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

Simplify

\frac{sin ( π ) cos ( x ) - cos ( π ) sin ( x )}{cos ( π ) cos ( x ) + sin ( π ) sin ( x )} : - \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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