Solution steps
3sin(2x+30)=tan(2x+30)
Subtract tan(2x+30) from both sides3sin(2x+30)−tan(2x+30)=0
Express with sin, cos
−tan(30+2x)+3sin(30+2x)
Use the basic trigonometric identity: tan(x)=cos(x)sin(x)​=−cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)​+3sin(30+2x)
Simplify −cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)​+3sin(30+2x):cos(30+2x)−sin(30+2x)+3sin(30+2x)cos(30+2x)​
−cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)​+3sin(30+2x)
Convert element to fraction: 3sin(2x+30)=cos(30+2x)3sin(30+2x)cos(30+2x)​=−cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)​+cos(30+2x)3sin(30+2x)cos(30+2x)​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=cos(30+2x)−sin(30+2x)+3sin(30+2x)cos(30+2x)​
=cos(30+2x)−sin(30+2x)+3sin(30+2x)cos(30+2x)​
cos(30+2x)−sin(30+2x)+3cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)​=0
g(x)f(x)​=0⇒f(x)=0−sin(30+2x)+3cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)=0
Factor −sin(30+2x)+3cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x):sin(2(x+15))(3cos(2(x+15))−1)
−sin(30+2x)+3cos(30+2x)sin(30+2x)
