PROBLEM

b. tanxcosxsinx1=0\tan x \cos x \sin x-1=0 where 0x3600^{\circ} \leq x \leq 360^{\circ}

STEP 1

1. The equation involves trigonometric functions: tangent, cosine, and sine.
2. We will use trigonometric identities to simplify and solve the equation.
3. The solution will be found within the interval 0x3600^{\circ} \leq x \leq 360^{\circ}.

STEP 2

1. Use trigonometric identities to simplify the equation.
2. Solve the simplified equation for x x .
3. Verify solutions within the given interval.

STEP 3

Start by using the identity tanx=sinxcosx\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} to rewrite the equation:
tanxcosxsinx1=0\tan x \cos x \sin x - 1 = 0 Substitute tanx=sinxcosx\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}:
sinxcosxcosxsinx1=0\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \cos x \sin x - 1 = 0 Simplify the expression:
sin2x1=0\sin^2 x - 1 = 0

STEP 4

Solve the equation sin2x1=0\sin^2 x - 1 = 0:
sin2x=1\sin^2 x = 1 Take the square root of both sides:
sinx=±1\sin x = \pm 1

SOLUTION

Determine the angles x x where sinx=1\sin x = 1 and sinx=1\sin x = -1 within the interval 0x3600^{\circ} \leq x \leq 360^{\circ}:
- sinx=1\sin x = 1 at x=90x = 90^{\circ}
- sinx=1\sin x = -1 at x=270x = 270^{\circ}
Thus, the solutions are:
x=90,270 x = 90^{\circ}, 270^{\circ} The values of x x are:
90,270 \boxed{90^{\circ}, 270^{\circ}}
