tan^2(a)=((2tan(a)))/((1-tan^2(a)))

Solution

tan^{2} (a) = \frac{( 2 tan ( a ) )}{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( a ) )}

Solution

a = πn, a = - 0.98930 \dots + πn

Degrees

a = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, a = - 56.68315 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (a) = \frac{( 2 tan ( a ) )}{( 1 - tan ^{2} ( a ) )}

Solve by substitution

tan^{2} (a) = \frac{2 tan ( a )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( a )}

Let:

tan (a) = u

u^{2} = \frac{2 u}{1 - u ^{2}}

u^{2} = \frac{2 u}{1 - u ^{2}} : u = 0, u \approx - 1.52137 \dots

u^{2} = \frac{2 u}{1 - u ^{2}}

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

u^{2} = \frac{2 u}{1 - u ^{2}}

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = \frac{2 u}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2})

Simplify

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = 2 u

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = 2 u

Solve

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = 2 u : u = 0, u \approx - 1.52137 \dots

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = 2 u

Move

2 u

to the left side

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) = 2 u

Subtract

2 u

from both sides

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) - 2 u = 2 u - 2 u

Simplify

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) - 2 u = 0

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) - 2 u = 0

Factor

u^{2} (1 - u^{2}) - 2 u : - u (u^{3} - u + 2)

Expand

a = u, b = 1

= u^{2} - 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= u^{2} - 1

= - u (u^{2} - 1)

Expand

- u (u^{2} - 1) : - u^{3} + u

- u (u^{2} - 1)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - u, b = u^{2}, c = 1

= - u u^{2} - (- u) \cdot 1

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - u^{2} u + 1 \cdot u

Simplify

- u^{2} u + 1 \cdot u : - u^{3} + u

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

u^{2} u = u^{2 + 1}

= u^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers:

Multiply:

1 \cdot u = u
