Solution steps
5cos(x)cot(x)−3cos(x)−10cot(x)+6=0
Factor 5cos(x)cot(x)−3cos(x)−10cot(x)+6:(5cot(x)−3)(cos(x)−2)
5cos(x)cot(x)−3cos(x)−10cot(x)+6
=(5cot(x)cos(x)−3cos(x))+(−10cot(x)+6)
Factor out −2from −10cot(x)+6:−2(5cot(x)−3)
−10cot(x)+6
Rewrite 6 as 3⋅2Rewrite −10 as 5⋅2=5⋅2cot(x)+3⋅2
Factor out common term −2=−2(5cot(x)−3)
Factor out cos(x)from 5cot(x)cos(x)−3cos(x):cos(x)(5cot(x)−3)
5cot(x)cos(x)−3cos(x)
Factor out common term cos(x)=cos(x)(5cot(x)−3)
=−2(5cot(x)−3)+cos(x)(5cot(x)−3)
Factor out common term 5cot(x)−3=(5cot(x)−3)(cos(x)−2)
(5cot(x)−3)(cos(x)−2)=0
