Solution steps
10tan(θ)−4.9(13cos(θ)10​)2=0
Express with sin, cos
−(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9+10tan(θ)
Use the basic trigonometric identity: tan(x)=cos(x)sin(x)​=−(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9+10⋅cos(θ)sin(θ)​
Simplify −(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9+10⋅cos(θ)sin(θ)​:cos2(θ)−2.89940…+10sin(θ)cos(θ)​
−(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9+10⋅cos(θ)sin(θ)​
(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9=cos2(θ)2.89940…​
(13cos(θ)10​)2⋅4.9
(13cos(θ)10​)2=132cos2(θ)102​
(13cos(θ)10​)2
Apply exponent rule: (ba​)c=bcac​=(13cos(θ))2102​
Apply exponent rule: (a⋅b)n=anbn(13cos(θ))2=132cos2(θ)=132cos2(θ)102​
=4.9⋅132cos2(θ)102​
Multiply fractions: a⋅cb​=ca⋅b​=132cos2(θ)102⋅4.9​
102⋅4.9=490
102⋅4.9
102=100=100⋅4.9
Multiply the numbers: 100⋅4.9=490=490
=132cos2(θ)490​
132=169=169cos2(θ)490​
Convert element to a decimal form169490​=2.89940…=cos2(θ)2.89940…​
10⋅cos(θ)sin(θ)​=cos(θ)10sin(θ)​
10⋅cos(θ)sin(θ)​
Multiply fractions: a⋅cb​=ca⋅b​=cos(θ)sin(θ)⋅10​
=−cos2(θ)2.89940…​+cos(θ)10sin(θ)​
Least Common Multiplier of cos2(θ),cos(θ):cos2(θ)
cos2(θ),cos(θ)
Lowest Common Multiplier (LCM)
Compute an expression comprised of factors that appear either in cos2(θ) or cos(θ)=cos2(θ)
Adjust Fractions based on the LCM
Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its
corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM cos2(θ)
For cos(θ)sin(θ)⋅10​:multiply the denominator and numerator by cos(θ)cos(θ)sin(θ)⋅10​=cos(θ)cos(θ)sin(θ)⋅10cos(θ)​=cos2(θ)sin(θ)⋅10cos(θ)​
=−cos2(θ)2.89940…​+cos2(θ)sin(θ)⋅10cos(θ)​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=cos2(θ)−2.89940…+sin(θ)⋅10cos(θ)​
=cos2(θ)−2.89940…+10sin(θ)cos(θ)​
cos2(θ)−2.89940…+10cos(θ)sin(θ)​=0
g(x)f(x)​=0⇒f(x)=0−2.89940…+10cos(θ)sin(θ)=0
Rewrite using trig identities
−2.89940…+10cos(θ)sin(θ)
Use the Double Angle identity: 2sin(x)cos(x)=sin(2x)sin(x)cos(x)=2sin(2x)​=−2.89940…+10⋅2sin(2θ)​
−2.89940…+10⋅2sin(2θ)​=0
10⋅2sin(2θ)​=5sin(2θ)
10⋅2sin(2θ)​
Multiply fractions: a⋅cb​=ca⋅b​=2sin(2θ)⋅10​
Divide the numbers: 210​=5=5sin(2θ)
−2.89940…+5sin(2θ)=0
Move 2.89940…to the right side
