Solution steps
3cos(3x)−15sin(3x)=0
Rewrite using trig identities
3cos(3x)−15sin(3x)=0
Divide both sides by cos(3x),cos(3x)=0cos(3x)3cos(3x)−15sin(3x)​=cos(3x)0​
Simplify3−cos(3x)15sin(3x)​=0
Use the basic trigonometric identity: cos(x)sin(x)​=tan(x)3−15tan(3x)=0
3−15tan(3x)=0
Move 3to the right side
3−15tan(3x)=0
Subtract 3 from both sides3−15tan(3x)−3=0−3
Simplify−15tan(3x)=−3
−15tan(3x)=−3
Divide both sides by −15
−15tan(3x)=−3
Divide both sides by −15−15−15tan(3x)​=−15−3​
Simplify
−15−15tan(3x)​=−15−3​
Simplify −15−15tan(3x)​:tan(3x)
−15−15tan(3x)​
Apply the fraction rule: −b−a​=ba​=1515tan(3x)​
Divide the numbers: 1515​=1=tan(3x)
Simplify −15−3​:51​
−15−3​
Apply the fraction rule: −b−a​=ba​=153​
Cancel the common factor: 3=51​
tan(3x)=51​
tan(3x)=51​
tan(3x)=51​
Apply trig inverse properties
tan(3x)=51​
General solutions for tan(3x)=51​tan(x)=a⇒x=arctan(a)+πn3x=arctan(51​)+πn
3x=arctan(51​)+πn
Solve 3x=arctan(51​)+πn:x=3arctan(51​)​+3πn​
3x=arctan(51​)+πn
Divide both sides by 3
3x=arctan(51​)+πn
Divide both sides by 333x​=3arctan(51​)​+3πn​
Simplifyx=3arctan(51​)​+3πn​
x=3arctan(51​)​+3πn​
x=3arctan(51​)​+3πn​
