Solve the equation on the interval [0, 2π). tan^2x sin x = tan^2x

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well it looks like you can divide both sides by tan^2x, leaving a pretty simple looking thing behind.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I thought the answer was A, but it was wrong.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

This thread was the exact same problem http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/50144498e4b0fa246730bf7b

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well, show me what that equation looks like when you divide both sides by tan^2x and I'll help walk you through it.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Ok

OpenStudy (kainui):

Wait, I read it, the answer is clearly A. What's the problem?

OpenStudy (kainui):

Like, how do you "know" that's wrong lol.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I got this quiz back and that problem was marked wrong.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

I think it's an error in the system.

OpenStudy (kainui):

Yeah, has to be.

OpenStudy (explainitlikeimfive):

Ok, thanks.
