In Exercises 53–62, solve each equation on the interval [0, 2𝝅). (tan x - 1) (cos x + 1) = 0
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recognize that the equation is a product of two factors equal to zero: \((\tan x - 1)(\cos x + 1) = 0\). According to the zero product property, set each factor equal to zero separately: \(\tan x - 1 = 0\) and \(\cos x + 1 = 0\).
Solve the first equation \(\tan x - 1 = 0\) which simplifies to \(\tan x = 1\). Recall that \(\tan x = 1\) at angles where the sine and cosine are equal in magnitude and sign, specifically in the first and third quadrants within \([0, 2\pi)\).
Find the general solutions for \(\tan x = 1\) on the interval \([0, 2\pi)\), which correspond to \(x = \frac{\pi}{4}\) and \(x = \frac{5\pi}{4}\).
Solve the second equation \(\cos x + 1 = 0\) which simplifies to \(\cos x = -1\). Recall that cosine equals \(-1\) at the angle where the terminal side points directly to the left on the unit circle.
Find the solution for \(\cos x = -1\) on the interval \([0, 2\pi)\), which is \(x = \pi\). Combine all solutions from both equations to get the complete solution set.

Zero Product Property
The zero product property states that if the product of two factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. This allows the equation (tan x - 1)(cos x + 1) = 0 to be split into two simpler equations: tan x - 1 = 0 and cos x + 1 = 0.

Trigonometric Function Values and Unit Circle
Understanding the values of tangent and cosine functions on the unit circle is essential. For example, tan x = 1 corresponds to angles where sine and cosine are equal, and cos x = -1 corresponds to the angle where the point on the unit circle is at (-1, 0). This knowledge helps identify exact solutions within [0, 2π).
