8cos(a)-15sin(a)=0

8 cos (a) - 15 sin (a) = 0

a = 0.48995 \dots + πn

Solution steps

8 cos (a) - 15 sin (a) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

8 - 15 tan (a) = 0

Move

8

to the right side

- 15 tan (a) = - 8

Divide both sides by

- 15

tan (a) = \frac{8}{15}

Apply trig inverse properties

a = arctan (\frac{8}{15}) + πn

Show solutions in decimal form

a = 0.48995 \dots + πn

tan (t) = \frac{3}{tan ( t )}

tan (- x) = tan (2 x + 1)

(2 cos (x) - sin (x)) (1 + sin (x)) = cos^{2} (x)

sin (6 x) cos (9 x) - cos (6 x) sin (9 x) = - 0.4

sin^{2} (x) = 2 tan^{2} (x)
