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

Solution

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

Solution

a = 2.15228 \dots + πn

Degrees

a = 123.31684 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

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

Subtract

2 cot^{2} (a)

from both sides

\frac{1 - tan ^{2} ( a )}{tan ( a )} - 2 cot^{2} (a) = 0

Simplify

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

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

Convert element to fraction:

2 cot^{2} (a) = \frac{2 cot ^{2} ( a ) tan ( a )}{tan ( a )}

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

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

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

\frac{1 - tan ^{2} ( a ) - 2 cot ^{2} ( a ) tan ( a )}{tan ( a )} = 0

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

1 - tan^{2} (a) - 2 cot^{2} (a) tan (a) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - tan^{2} (a) - 2 cot^{2} (a) tan (a)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{1}{cot ( x )}

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

Simplify

1 - (\frac{1}{cot ( a )})^{2} - 2 cot^{2} (a) \frac{1}{cot ( a )} : 1 - \frac{1}{cot ^{2} ( a )} - 2 cot (a)

1 - (\frac{1}{cot ( a )})^{2} - 2 cot^{2} (a) \frac{1}{cot ( a )}

(\frac{1}{cot ( a )})^{2} = \frac{1}{cot ^{2} ( a )}

(\frac{1}{cot ( a )})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(\frac{a}{b})^{c} = \frac{a ^{c}}{b ^{c}}

= \frac{1 ^{2}}{cot ^{2} ( a )}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= \frac{1}{cot ^{2} ( a )}

2 cot^{2} (a) \frac{1}{cot ( a )} = 2 cot (a)

2 cot^{2} (a) \frac{1}{cot ( a )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 2 cot ^{2} ( a )}{cot ( a )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= \frac{2 cot ^{2} ( a )}{cot ( a )}

Cancel the common factor:

cot (a)

= 2 cot (a)

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

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

1 - \frac{1}{cot ^{2} ( a )} - 2 cot (a) = 0

Solve by substitution

1 - \frac{1}{cot ^{2} ( a )} - 2 cot (a) = 0

Let:

cot (a) = u

1 - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} - 2 u = 0

1 - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} - 2 u = 0 : u \approx - 0.65729 \dots

1 - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} - 2 u = 0

Multiply both sides by

u^{2}

1 - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} - 2 u = 0

Multiply both sides by

u^{2}

1 \cdot u^{2} - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} u^{2} - 2 u u^{2} = 0 \cdot u^{2}

Simplify

1 \cdot u^{2} - \frac{1}{u ^{2}} u^{2} - 2 u u^{2} = 0 \cdot u^{2}

Simplify

1 \cdot u^{2} : u^{2}

1 \cdot u^{2}

Multiply:

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

= u^{2}

Simplify

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

u^{2}

= - 1

Simplify

- 2 u u^{2} : - 2 u^{3}

- 2 u u^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

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

= - 2 u^{1 + 2}

Add the numbers:

1 + 2 = 3

= - 2 u^{3}

Simplify

0 \cdot u^{2} : 0

0 \cdot u^{2}

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

u^{2} - 1 - 2 u^{3} = 0

u^{2} - 1 - 2 u^{3} = 0

u^{2} - 1 - 2 u^{3} = 0

Solve

u^{2} - 1 - 2 u^{3} = 0 : u \approx - 0.65729 \dots

u^{2} - 1 - 2 u^{3} = 0

Write in the standard form

a_{n} x^{n} + \dots + a_{1} x + a = 0
