tan(4x)*cot(x+60)=1

Solution

tan (4 x) \cdot cot (x + 60) = 1

Solution

x = \frac{2 πn}{3} + 20, x = \frac{π}{3} + 20 + \frac{2 πn}{3}

Degrees

x = 1145.91559 \dots^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n, x = 1205.91559 \dots^{\circ} + 12 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (4 x) cot (x + 60) = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

tan (4 x) cot (x + 60) - 1 = 0

Express with sin, cos

- 1 + cot (60 + x) tan (4 x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + \frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} tan (4 x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + \frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x )}

Simplify

- 1 + \frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x )} : \frac{- sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x ) + cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

- 1 + \frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x )}

Multiply

\frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x )} : \frac{cos ( x + 60 ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( x + 60 ) cos ( 4 x )}

\frac{cos ( 60 + x )}{sin ( 60 + x )} \cdot \frac{sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

= - 1 + \frac{cos ( x + 60 ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( x + 60 ) cos ( 4 x )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

= - \frac{1 \cdot sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )} + \frac{cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x ) + cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot sin (60 + x) = sin (60 + x)

= \frac{- sin ( x + 60 ) cos ( 4 x ) + cos ( x + 60 ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( x + 60 ) cos ( 4 x )}

= \frac{- sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x ) + cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{sin ( 60 + x ) cos ( 4 x )}

\frac{- cos ( 4 x ) sin ( 60 + x ) + cos ( 60 + x ) sin ( 4 x )}{cos ( 4 x ) sin ( 60 + x )} = 0

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

- cos (4 x) sin (60 + x) + cos (60 + x) sin (4 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- cos (4 x) sin (60 + x) + cos (60 + x) sin (4 x)

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= sin (4 x - (60 + x))

sin (4 x - (60 + x)) = 0
