cot^2(x)=tan(x/2)

Solution

cot^{2} (x) = tan (\frac{x}{2})

Solution

x = 2 \cdot 0.47448 \dots + 2 πn, x = 2 \cdot 1.34922 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 54.37186 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 154.60973 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

cot^{2} (x) = tan (\frac{x}{2})

Subtract

tan (\frac{x}{2})

from both sides

cot^{2} (x) - tan (\frac{x}{2}) = 0

Let:

u = \frac{x}{2}

cot^{2} (2 u) - tan (u) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

cot^{2} (2 u) - tan (u)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{1}{tan ( x )}

= (\frac{1}{tan ( 2 u )})^{2} - tan (u)

(\frac{1}{tan ( 2 u )})^{2} = \frac{1}{tan ^{2} ( 2 u )}

(\frac{1}{tan ( 2 u )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{tan ^{2} ( 2 u )}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{tan ^{2} ( 2 u )}

= \frac{1}{tan ^{2} ( 2 u )} - tan (u)

Use the Double Angle identity:

tan (2 x) = \frac{2 tan ( x )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( x )}

= \frac{1}{( \frac{2 t a n ( u )}{1 - t a n ^{2} ( u )} ) ^{2}} - tan (u)

Simplify

\frac{1}{( \frac{2 t a n ( u )}{1 - t a n ^{2} ( u )} ) ^{2}} - tan (u) : \frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{4 tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u)

\frac{1}{( \frac{2 t a n ( u )}{1 - t a n ^{2} ( u )} ) ^{2}} - tan (u)

\frac{1}{( \frac{2 t a n ( u )}{1 - t a n ^{2} ( u )} ) ^{2}} = \frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2} tan ^{2} ( u )}

\frac{1}{( \frac{2 t a n ( u )}{1 - t a n ^{2} ( u )} ) ^{2}}

(\frac{2 tan ( u )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( u )})^{2} = \frac{2 ^{2} tan ^{2} ( u )}{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}

(\frac{2 tan ( u )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( u )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{( 2 tan ( u ) ) ^{2}}{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(2 tan (u))^{2} = 2^{2} tan^{2} (u)

= \frac{2 ^{2} tan ^{2} ( u )}{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}

= \frac{1}{\frac{2 ^{2} t a n ^{2} ( u )}{( 1 - t a n ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{1}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{c}{b}

= \frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2} tan ^{2} ( u )}

= \frac{( - tan ^{2} ( u ) + 1 ) ^{2}}{2 ^{2} tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u)

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{( - tan ^{2} ( u ) + 1 ) ^{2}}{4 tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u)

= \frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{4 tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u)

\frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{4 tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u) = 0

Solve by substitution

\frac{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( u ) ) ^{2}}{4 tan ^{2} ( u )} - tan (u) = 0

Let:

tan (u) = u

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} - u = 0

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} - u = 0 : u \approx 0.51361 \dots, u \approx 4.43910 \dots

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} - u = 0

Multiply both sides by

4 u^{2}

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} - u = 0

Multiply both sides by

4 u^{2}

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} \cdot 4 u^{2} - u \cdot 4 u^{2} = 0 \cdot 4 u^{2}

Simplify

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} \cdot 4 u^{2} - u \cdot 4 u^{2} = 0 \cdot 4 u^{2}

Simplify

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} \cdot 4 u^{2} : (1 - u^{2})^{2}

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} \cdot 4 u^{2}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2} \cdot 4 u ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2} u ^{2}}{u ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

u^{2}

= (1 - u^{2})^{2}

Simplify

- u \cdot 4 u^{2} : - 4 u^{3}

- u \cdot 4 u^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

u u^{2} = u^{1 + 2}

= - 4 u^{1 + 2}

Add the numbers:

1 + 2 = 3

= - 4 u^{3}

Simplify

0 \cdot 4 u^{2} : 0

0 \cdot 4 u^{2}

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} = 0

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} = 0

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} = 0

Solve

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} = 0 : u \approx 0.51361 \dots, u \approx 4.43910 \dots

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} = 0

Expand

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3} : 1 - 2 u^{2} + u^{4} - 4 u^{3}

(1 - u^{2})^{2} - 4 u^{3}

(1 - u^{2})^{2} : 1 - 2 u^{2} + u^{4}

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 ab + b^{2}

a = 1, b = u^{2}

= 1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2} + (u^{2})^{2}

Simplify

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2} + (u^{2})^{2} : 1 - 2 u^{2} + u^{4}

1^{2} - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2} + (u^{2})^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 - 2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2} + (u^{2})^{2}

2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2} = 2 u^{2}

2 \cdot 1 \cdot u^{2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= 2 u^{2}

(u^{2})^{2} = u^{4}

(u^{2})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= u^{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= u^{4}

= 1 - 2 u^{2} + u^{4}

= 1 - 2 u^{2} + u^{4}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

u = 0

Take the denominator(s) of

\frac{( 1 - u ^{2} ) ^{2}}{4 u ^{2}} - u

and compare to zero

Solve

4 u^{2} = 0 : u = 0

4 u^{2} = 0

Divide both sides by

4

4 u^{2} = 0

Divide both sides by

4

4 u^{2} = 0

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 u ^{2}}{4} = \frac{0}{4}

Simplify

u^{2} = 0

u^{2} = 0

Apply rule

x^{n} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0

u = 0

The following points are undefined

Substitute back

u = tan (u)

tan (u) \approx 0.51361 \dots, tan (u) \approx 4.43910 \dots

tan (u) \approx 0.51361 \dots, tan (u) \approx 4.43910 \dots
