In Exercises 54–67, solve each equation on the interval [0, 2𝝅). Use exact values where possible or give approximate solutions correct to four decimal places. tan x = 2 cos x tan x
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Start by writing down the given equation: \(\tan x = 2 \cos x \tan x\).
Recall that \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\), so substitute this into the equation to express everything in terms of sine and cosine: \(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = 2 \cos x \cdot \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\).
Simplify the right side by canceling \(\cos x\) where possible, keeping in mind the domain restrictions where \(\cos x \neq 0\) to avoid division by zero.
Rearrange the equation to isolate terms and set it equal to zero, which will allow factoring or using trigonometric identities to find solutions.
Solve the resulting equation(s) for \(x\) within the interval \([0, 2\pi)\), considering all possible cases including when \(\cos x = 0\) (since division by zero was excluded earlier).
