tan(x)+sin(x)=0

Solution

tan (x) + sin (x) = 0

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (x) + sin (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

sin (x) + tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Factor

sin (x) + cos (x) sin (x) : sin (x) (cos (x) + 1)

sin (x) + cos (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

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

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

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or cos (x) + 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = π + 2 πn

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
