Solution steps

tan (\frac{π}{4} + x) = \frac{1 - tan ( x )}{1 + tan ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (\frac{π}{4} + x) = \frac{1 - tan ( x )}{1 + tan ( x )}

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (\frac{π}{4} + x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Use the Angle Sum identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

Combine the fractions

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} - \frac{2 sin ( x )}{2} : \frac{2 cos ( x ) - 2 sin ( x )}{2}

Apply rule

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

Apply rule

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

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

Factor out common term

2

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

Factor out common term

2

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

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

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

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

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

Subtract

\frac{1 - tan ( x )}{1 + tan ( x )}

from both sides

\frac{2 tan ( x ) cos ( x ) + 2 sin ( x )}{( tan ( x ) + 1 ) ( cos ( x ) - sin ( x ) )} = 0

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

2 tan (x) cos (x) + 2 sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

2 sin (x) + 2 cos (x) tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

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

Simplify

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

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

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Cancel the common factor:

cos (x)

= sin (x) \cdot 2

= 2 sin (x) + 2 sin (x)

Add similar elements:

2 sin (x) + 2 sin (x) = 4 sin (x)

= 4 sin (x)

= 4 sin (x)

4 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

4

4 sin (x) = 0

Divide both sides by

4

\frac{4 sin ( x )}{4} = \frac{0}{4}

Simplify

sin (x) = 0

sin (x) = 0
