tan(θ)sin^2(θ)=tan(θ)

Solution

tan (θ) sin^{2} (θ) = tan (θ)

Solution

θ = πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (θ) sin^{2} (θ) = tan (θ)

Subtract

tan (θ)

from both sides

sin^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ) = 0

Factor

sin^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ) : tan (θ) (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1)

sin^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ)

Factor out common term

tan (θ)

= tan (θ) (sin^{2} (θ) - 1)

Factor

sin^{2} (θ) - 1 : (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1)

sin^{2} (θ) - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

= sin^{2} (θ) - 1^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

sin^{2} (θ) - 1^{2} = (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1)

= (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1)

= tan (θ) (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1)

tan (θ) (sin (θ) + 1) (sin (θ) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

tan (θ) = 0 or sin (θ) + 1 = 0 or sin (θ) - 1 = 0

tan (θ) = 0 : θ = πn

tan (θ) = 0

General solutions for

tan (θ) = 0

θ = 0 + πn

θ = 0 + πn

Solve

θ = 0 + πn : θ = πn

θ = 0 + πn

0 + πn = πn

θ = πn

θ = πn

sin (θ) + 1 = 0 : θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (θ) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

sin (θ) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

sin (θ) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

sin (θ) = - 1

sin (θ) = - 1

θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (θ) - 1 = 0 : θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

sin (θ) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

sin (θ) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

sin (θ) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

sin (θ) = 1

sin (θ) = 1

θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = πn, θ = \frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Since the equation is undefined for:

\frac{3 π}{2} + 2 πn, \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

θ = πn
