tan(x)cos^2(x)-tan(x)=0,(0,2pi)

Solution

tan (x) cos^{2} (x) - tan (x) = 0, (0, 2 π)

Solution

x = π

Degrees

x = 18 0^{\circ}

Solution steps

tan (x) cos^{2} (x) - tan (x) = 0, (0, 2 π)

Factor

tan (x) cos^{2} (x) - tan (x) : tan (x) (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1)

tan (x) cos^{2} (x) - tan (x)

Factor out common term

tan (x)

= tan (x) (cos^{2} (x) - 1)

Factor

cos^{2} (x) - 1 : (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1)

cos^{2} (x) - 1

Rewrite

1

1^{2}

= cos^{2} (x) - 1^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

cos^{2} (x) - 1^{2} = (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1)

= (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1)

= tan (x) (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1)

tan (x) (cos (x) + 1) (cos (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

tan (x) = 0 or cos (x) + 1 = 0 or cos (x) - 1 = 0

tan (x) = 0, (0, 2 π) : x = π

tan (x) = 0, (0, 2 π)
