cos(x)+sin(x)tan(x)=2

Solution

cos (x) + sin (x) tan (x) = 2

Solution

x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cos (x) + sin (x) tan (x) = 2

Subtract

2

from both sides

cos (x) + sin (x) tan (x) - 2 = 0

Express with sin, cos

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

- 2 + 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 )}

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

Convert element to fraction:

2 = \frac{2 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}, cos (x) = \frac{cos ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

= - 2 cos (x) + 1

- 2 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 2 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

- 2

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

Simplify

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

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

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