9sin^2(x)tan(x)=4tan(x)

Solution

9 sin^{2} (x) tan (x) = 4 tan (x)

Solution

x = πn, x = - 0.72972 \dots + 2 πn, x = π + 0.72972 \dots + 2 πn, x = 0.72972 \dots + 2 πn, x = π - 0.72972 \dots + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = - 41.81031 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 221.81031 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 41.81031 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 138.18968 \dots^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

9 sin^{2} (x) tan (x) = 4 tan (x)

Subtract

4 tan (x)

from both sides

9 sin^{2} (x) tan (x) - 4 tan (x) = 0

Factor

9 sin^{2} (x) tan (x) - 4 tan (x) : tan (x) (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2)

9 sin^{2} (x) tan (x) - 4 tan (x)

Factor out common term

tan (x)

= tan (x) (9 sin^{2} (x) - 4)

Factor

9 sin^{2} (x) - 4 : (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2)

9 sin^{2} (x) - 4

Rewrite

9 sin^{2} (x) - 4

(3 sin (x))^{2} - 2^{2}

9 sin^{2} (x) - 4

Rewrite

9

3^{2}

= 3^{2} sin^{2} (x) - 4

Rewrite

4

2^{2}

= 3^{2} sin^{2} (x) - 2^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

3^{2} sin^{2} (x) = (3 sin (x))^{2}

= (3 sin (x))^{2} - 2^{2}

= (3 sin (x))^{2} - 2^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

(3 sin (x))^{2} - 2^{2} = (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2)

= (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2)

= tan (x) (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2)

tan (x) (3 sin (x) + 2) (3 sin (x) - 2) = 0

Solving each part separately

tan (x) = 0 or 3 sin (x) + 2 = 0 or 3 sin (x) - 2 = 0

tan (x) = 0 : x = πn

tan (x) = 0

x = 0 + πn

Solve

x = 0 + πn : x = πn

x = 0 + πn

0 + πn = πn

x = πn

x = πn

3 sin (x) + 2 = 0 : x = arcsin (- \frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (\frac{2}{3}) + 2 πn

3 sin (x) + 2 = 0

Move

from both sides

3 sin (x) + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2

Simplify

3 sin (x) = - 2

3 sin (x) = - 2

Divide both sides by

3 sin (x) = - 2

Divide both sides by

sin (x) = \frac{2}{3}

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = \frac{2}{3}

General solutions for
