1/(cos(2x))+tan(2x)=3cos(2x),0<x<90

Solution

\frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + tan (2 x) = 3 cos (2 x), 0^{\circ} < x < 9 0^{\circ}

Solution

x = \frac{0.72972 \dots}{2}, x = \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} - 0.72972 \dots}{2}

Radians

x = \frac{0.72972 \dots}{2}, x = \frac{π - 0.72972 \dots}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + tan (2 x) = 3 cos (2 x), 0^{\circ} < x < 9 0^{\circ}

Subtract

3 cos (2 x)

from both sides

\frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + tan (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) = 0

Simplify

\frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + tan (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) : \frac{1 + tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ^{2} ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

\frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + tan (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x)

Convert element to fraction:

tan (2 x) = \frac{tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}, 3 cos (2 x) = \frac{3 cos ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} + \frac{tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} - \frac{3 cos ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{1 + tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

1 + tan (2 x) cos (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) cos (2 x) = 1 + tan (2 x) cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

1 + tan (2 x) cos (2 x) - 3 cos (2 x) cos (2 x)

3 cos (2 x) cos (2 x) = 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

3 cos (2 x) cos (2 x)

Apply exponent rule:

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

cos (2 x) cos (2 x) = cos^{1 + 1} (2 x)

= 3 cos^{1 + 1} (2 x)

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

= 1 + tan (2 x) cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

= \frac{1 + tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ^{2} ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

\frac{1 + tan ( 2 x ) cos ( 2 x ) - 3 cos ^{2} ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} = 0

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

1 + tan (2 x) cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

Simplify

1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) : 1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

1 + \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} cos (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

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

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

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

cos (2 x)

= sin (2 x)

= 1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

Add

3 cos^{2} (2 x)

to both sides

1 + sin (2 x) = 3 cos^{2} (2 x)

Square both sides

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} = (3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

Subtract

(3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

from both sides

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 9 cos^{4} (2 x) = 0

Factor

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 9 cos^{4} (2 x) : (1 + sin (2 x) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x)) (1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x))

3^{2}

= (1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 3^{2} cos^{4} (2 x)

= (1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 3^{2} (cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

3^{2} (cos^{2} (2 x))^{2} = (3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

= (1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - (3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

= (1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - (3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - (3 cos^{2} (2 x))^{2} = ((1 + sin (2 x)) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x)) ((1 + sin (2 x)) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x))

= ((1 + sin (2 x)) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x)) ((1 + sin (2 x)) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x))

Refine

= (3 cos^{2} (2 x) + sin (2 x) + 1) (sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) + 1)

(1 + sin (2 x) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x)) (1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

1 + sin (2 x) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0 or 1 + sin (2 x) - 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

1 + sin (2 x) + 3 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0, 0 < x < 9 0^{\circ} :

No Solution

\frac{2 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{27 0 ^{\circ}}{2} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2} : 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

\frac{27 0 ^{\circ}}{2} + \frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

\frac{27 0 ^{\circ}}{2} = 13 5^{\circ}

\frac{27 0 ^{\circ}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{54 0 ^{\circ}}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= 13 5^{\circ}

\frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2} = 18 0^{\circ} n

\frac{36 0 ^{\circ} n}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= 18 0^{\circ} n

= 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n
