solvefor x,8sec(x)+8tan(x)=8

Solution

solvefor

Solution

x = 2 πn + 2 π

Degrees

x = 36 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

8 sec (x) + 8 tan (x) = 8

Subtract

8

from both sides

8 sec (x) + 8 tan (x) - 8 = 0

Express with sin, cos

8 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 8 \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 8 = 0

Simplify

8 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 8 \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 8 : \frac{8 + 8 sin ( x ) - 8 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

8 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 8 \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 8

8 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} = \frac{8}{cos ( x )}

8 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 8}{cos ( x )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 8 = 8

= \frac{8}{cos ( x )}

8 \cdot \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{8 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 8}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{8}{cos ( x )} + \frac{8 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} - 8

Combine the fractions

\frac{8}{cos ( x )} + \frac{8 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} : \frac{8 + 8 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{8 + 8 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{8 sin ( x ) + 8}{cos ( x )} - 8

Convert element to fraction:

8 = \frac{8 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{8 + sin ( x ) \cdot 8}{cos ( x )} - \frac{8 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{8 + sin ( x ) \cdot 8 - 8 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{8 + 8 sin ( x ) - 8 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

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

8 + 8 sin (x) - 8 cos (x) = 0

Add

8 cos (x)

to both sides

8 + 8 sin (x) = 8 cos (x)

Square both sides

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} = (8 cos (x))^{2}

Subtract

(8 cos (x))^{2}

from both sides

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 64 cos^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 64 cos^{2} (x) : 64 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x)) (1 + sin (x) - cos (x))

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 64 cos^{2} (x)

Rewrite

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 64 cos^{2} (x)

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - (8 cos (x))^{2}

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 64 cos^{2} (x)

Rewrite

64

8^{2}

= (8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - 8^{2} cos^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

8^{2} cos^{2} (x) = (8 cos (x))^{2}

= (8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - (8 cos (x))^{2}

= (8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - (8 cos (x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

(8 + 8 sin (x))^{2} - (8 cos (x))^{2} = ((8 + 8 sin (x)) + 8 cos (x)) ((8 + 8 sin (x)) - 8 cos (x))

= ((8 + 8 sin (x)) + 8 cos (x)) ((8 + 8 sin (x)) - 8 cos (x))

Refine

= (8 sin (x) + 8 cos (x) + 8) (8 sin (x) - 8 cos (x) + 8)

Factor

8 + 8 sin (x) + 8 cos (x) : 8 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x))

8 + 8 sin (x) + 8 cos (x)

Factor out common term

8

= 8 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x))

= 8 (sin (x) + cos (x) + 1) (8 sin (x) - 8 cos (x) + 8)

Factor

8 + 8 sin (x) - 8 cos (x) : 8 (1 + sin (x) - cos (x))

8 + 8 sin (x) - 8 cos (x)

Factor out common term

8

= 8 (1 + sin (x) - cos (x))

= 8 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x)) \cdot 8 (1 + sin (x) - cos (x))

Refine

= 64 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x)) (1 + sin (x) - cos (x))

64 (1 + sin (x) + cos (x)) (1 + sin (x) - cos (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

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

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

1 + sin (x) + cos (x)

sin (x) + cos (x) = 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

sin (x) + cos (x)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (x) + \frac{1}{2} cos (x))

Use the following trivial identity:

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (cos (\frac{π}{4}) sin (x) + sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (x))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

= 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

= 1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4})

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Move

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 + 2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

2 sin (x + \frac{π}{4}) = - 1
