tan(x)tan(7x)=1,x

Solution

tan (x) tan (7 x) = 1, x

Solution

No Solution for x \in R

Solution steps

tan (x) tan (7 x) = 1, x

Subtract

1

from both sides

tan (x) tan (7 x) - 1 = 0

Express with sin, cos

- 1 + tan (7 x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= - 1 + \frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= - 1 + \frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

- 1 + \frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} : \frac{- cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

- 1 + \frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Multiply

\frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} : \frac{sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

\frac{sin ( 7 x )}{cos ( 7 x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

= - 1 + \frac{sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

= - \frac{1 \cdot cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )} + \frac{sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (7 x) = cos (7 x)

= \frac{- cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

= \frac{- cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )}

\frac{- cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x ) + sin ( 7 x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( 7 x ) cos ( x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

- cos (7 x) cos (x) + sin (7 x) sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (7 x) cos (x) + sin (7 x) sin (x)

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t) = cos (s + t)

- cos (s) cos (t) + sin (s) sin (t) = - cos (s + t)

= - cos (7 x + x)

- cos (7 x + x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 1

- cos (7 x + x) = 0

Divide both sides by

- 1

\frac{- cos ( 7 x + x )}{- 1} = \frac{0}{- 1}

Simplify

cos (7 x + x) = 0

cos (7 x + x) = 0
