tan(θ+10)=cot(2θ-10)

Solution

tan (θ + 1 0^{\circ}) = cot (2 θ - 10)

Solution

θ = 26.66666 \dots^{\circ} + \frac{10}{3} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{3}, θ = 86.66666 \dots^{\circ} + \frac{10}{3} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{3}

Radians

θ = \frac{4 π}{27} + \frac{10}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} n, θ = \frac{13 π}{27} + \frac{10}{3} + \frac{2 π}{3} n

Solution steps

tan (θ + 1 0^{\circ}) = cot (2 θ - 10)

Subtract

cot (2 θ - 10)

from both sides

tan (θ + 1 0^{\circ}) - cot (2 θ - 10) = 0

Express with sin, cos

- cot (- 10 + 2 θ) + tan (1 0^{\circ} + θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - \frac{cos ( - 10 + 2 θ )}{sin ( - 10 + 2 θ )} + tan (1 0^{\circ} + θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - \frac{cos ( - 10 + 2 θ )}{sin ( - 10 + 2 θ )} + \frac{sin ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}{cos ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}

Simplify

- \frac{cos ( - 10 + 2 θ )}{sin ( - 10 + 2 θ )} + \frac{sin ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}{cos ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )} : \frac{- cos ( - 10 + 2 θ ) cos ( \frac{18 θ + 18 0 ^{\circ}}{18} ) + sin ( \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} + 18 θ}{18} ) sin ( 2 θ - 10 )}{sin ( 2 θ - 10 ) cos ( \frac{18 θ + 18 0 ^{\circ}}{18} )}

- \frac{cos ( - 10 + 2 θ )}{sin ( - 10 + 2 θ )} + \frac{sin ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}{cos ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}

\frac{sin ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )}{cos ( 1 0 ^{\circ} + θ )} = \frac{sin ( \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} + 18 θ}{18} )}{cos ( \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} + 18 θ}{18} )}
