tan^3(2x)-tan^2(2x)-tan(2x)+1=0

Solution

tan^{3} (2 x) - tan^{2} (2 x) - tan (2 x) + 1 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{3 π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

Degrees

x = 22. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 67. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{3} (2 x) - tan^{2} (2 x) - tan (2 x) + 1 = 0

Solve by substitution

tan^{3} (2 x) - tan^{2} (2 x) - tan (2 x) + 1 = 0

Let:

tan (2 x) = u

u^{3} - u^{2} - u + 1 = 0

u^{3} - u^{2} - u + 1 = 0 : u = 1, u = - 1

u^{3} - u^{2} - u + 1 = 0

Factor

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

u^{3} - u^{2} - u + 1

= (u^{3} - u^{2}) + (- u + 1)

Factor out

- 1

from

- u + 1 : - (u - 1)

- u + 1

Factor out common term

- 1

= - (u - 1)

Factor out

u^{2}

from

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

u^{3} - u^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

u^{3} = u u^{2}

= u u^{2} - u^{2}

Factor out common term

u^{2}

= u^{2} (u - 1)

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

Factor out common term

u - 1

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

Factor

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

u^{2} - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

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

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

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

= (u + 1) (u - 1)

= (u - 1) (u + 1) (u - 1)

Refine

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

(u - 1)^{2} (u + 1) = 0

Using the Zero Factor Principle:

ab = 0

then

a = 0

b = 0

u - 1 = 0 or u + 1 = 0

Solve

u - 1 = 0 : u = 1

u - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

u - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

u = 1

u = 1

Solve

u + 1 = 0 : u = - 1

u + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

u + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

u = - 1

u = - 1

The solutions are

u = 1, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = tan (2 x)

tan (2 x) = 1, tan (2 x) = - 1

tan (2 x) = 1, tan (2 x) = - 1

tan (2 x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

tan (2 x) = 1
