tan(x) = cos(x)
sin(x)/cos(x) - cos(x) = 0
[sin(x) - cos2(x)] / cos(x) = 0
[sinx - (1 - sin2(x)) ] / cos(x) = 0
Since the left side is only 0 if the numerator = 0 , we have
sin2(x) + sin(x) - 1 = 0
Let a = sin(x) .....so we have
a2 + a - 1 = 0
a2 + a + 1/4 = 1 + 1/4
(a + 1/2)2 = 5/4 take the square root of both sides
a + 1/2 = ±√5/2
a = [±√5 - 1]/2
sin(x) = [±√5 - 1]/2
So
sin(x) = -Phi or sin(x) = phi
The first is impossible since -Phi < -1
The second yields
sin-1(phi) = sin-1([√5 - 1]/2) ≈ 38.17°
This could also be a 38.17° in the second quadrant ≈ 141.83°
To convert cos(x) to tan(x) u just need to do this :
x=acos(cos(x)) and then just tan x and u have y`r answer :)
Or you can draw the right angled triangle and get the exact value on the 3rd side using pythagoras and 'read' the cos off the triangle.
tg(x)= ???? cos(x)
$$tg{(x)} = \sqrt { \frac{1-\cos{(2x)}}{1+\cos{(2x)}}}$$
Example:
$$tg{(45)} = \sqrt { \frac{1-\cos{(90)}}{1+\cos{(90)}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{1}} = 1 \quad ok!$$
