STEP 2
1. Use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation.
2. Solve the simplified equation for x.
3. Verify solutions within the given interval.
STEP 3
Start by using the identity tanx=cosxsinx to rewrite the equation:
tanxcosxsinx−1=0 Substitute tanx=cosxsinx:
cosxsinxcosxsinx−1=0 Simplify the expression:
sin2x−1=0
STEP 4
Solve the equation sin2x−1=0:
sin2x=1 Take the square root of both sides:
sinx=±1
SOLUTION
Determine the angles x where sinx=1 and sinx=−1 within the interval 0∘≤x≤360∘:
- sinx=1 at x=90∘
- sinx=−1 at x=270∘
Thus, the solutions are:
x=90∘,270∘ The values of x are:
90∘,270∘
