2sin(x)+tan(x)=0

Solution

2 sin (x) + tan (x) = 0

Solution

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn, x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 18 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin (x) + tan (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

tan (x) + 2 sin (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x)

Simplify

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x) : \frac{sin ( x ) + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x)

Convert element to fraction:

2 sin (x) = \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( x ) + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( x ) + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{sin ( x ) + 2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

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

sin (x) + 2 cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Factor

sin (x) + 2 cos (x) sin (x) : sin (x) (2 cos (x) + 1)

sin (x) + 2 cos (x) sin (x)

Factor out common term

sin (x)

= sin (x) (1 + 2 cos (x))

sin (x) (2 cos (x) + 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

sin (x) = 0 or 2 cos (x) + 1 = 0

sin (x) = 0 : x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

sin (x) = 0

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn, x = π + 2 πn

2 cos (x) + 1 = 0 : x = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

2 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Move

to the right side

2 cos (x) + 1 = 0

Subtract

from both sides

2 cos (x) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 cos (x) = - 1

2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (x) = - 1

Divide both sides by

\frac{2 cos ( x )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{2}

cos (x) = - \frac{1}{2}
