Solve given: 4 sin2 x tan x = tan x

Hint: The answer will be angles.

4sin(x)^2*tan(x)=tan(x) = {x=0, x=-(((pi)/6)), x=((pi)/6)}

 

I think. Probably not though. :|

Yeah, it isn't. It's not in degrees. :| I tried.

I don't understand your answer, I need angles, like 30º, 45º, etc.

4 sin^2 x tan x = tan x     subtract tan x from both sides

 

4sin^2x tanx - tan x = 0      factor  out tan x

 

tanx [ 4sin^2x - 1 ] = 0

 

Set both factors to 0

 

tan x = 0     and this happnes at  [ 0 ± n 180 ] degrees    where ni is an integer

 

4sin^2 x = 1      divide both sides by 4

 

sin^2x  = 1/4      take ± roots of both sides

 

sinx = ± √[ 1/4]   = ± 1/2   and this happens at [ 30 ± n 180] degrees  and at [ 150 ± n 180] degrees     where n is an integer
