((sin(x)+tan(x)))/(1+cos(x))=m*sec(x)

Solution

\frac{( sin ( x ) + tan ( x ) )}{1 + cos ( x )} = m \cdot sec (x)

Solution

x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn

Solution steps

\frac{( sin ( x ) + tan ( x ) )}{1 + cos ( x )} = m sec (x)

Subtract

m sec (x)

from both sides

\frac{sin ( x ) + tan ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} - m sec (x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x ) + tan ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} - m sec (x) : \frac{sin ( x ) + tan ( x ) - m sec ( x ) ( 1 + cos ( x ) )}{1 + cos ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x ) + tan ( x )}{1 + cos ( x )} - m sec (x)

Convert element to fraction:

m sec (x) = \frac{m sec ( x ) ( 1 + cos ( x ) )}{1 + cos ( x )}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

\frac{sin ( x ) + tan ( x ) - m sec ( x ) ( 1 + cos ( x ) )}{1 + cos ( x )} = 0

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

sin (x) + tan (x) - m sec (x) (1 + cos (x)) = 0

Express with sin, cos

sin (x) + tan (x) - (1 + cos (x)) sec (x) m

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

(1 + cos (x)) \frac{1}{cos ( x )} m = \frac{m ( 1 + cos ( x ) )}{cos ( x )}

(1 + cos (x)) \frac{1}{cos ( x )} m

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot ( 1 + cos ( x ) ) m}{cos ( x )}

Multiply:

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

= \frac{m ( cos ( x ) + 1 )}{cos ( x )}

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

Combine the fractions

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

Apply rule

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

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

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

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

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

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

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

sin (x) - (1 + cos (x)) m + cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

sin (x) - (1 + cos (x)) m + cos (x) sin (x) : (1 + cos (x)) (sin (x) - m)

sin (x) - (1 + cos (x)) m + cos (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

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

Factor out common term

(1 + cos (x))

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

(1 + cos (x)) (sin (x) - m) = 0

Solving each part separately

1 + cos (x) = 0 or sin (x) - m = 0

1 + cos (x) = 0 : x = π + 2 πn

1 + cos (x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 + cos (x) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

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

Simplify

cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 1

cos (x) = - 1

x = π + 2 πn

x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) - m = 0 : x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn

sin (x) - m = 0

Move

m

to the right side

sin (x) - m = 0

Add

m

to both sides

sin (x) - m + m = 0 + m

Simplify

sin (x) = m

sin (x) = m

Apply trig inverse properties

sin (x) = m

General solutions for

sin (x) = m

sin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arcsin (a) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (a) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn

x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

x = π + 2 πn, x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn

Since the equation is undefined for:

π + 2 πn

x = arcsin (m) + 2 πn, x = π + arcsin (- m) + 2 πn
