tan=2sin

OpenStudy (loser66):

your attempt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin/cos=2sin cos*sin/cos=2sin*cos 0=2sin*cos-sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know where to go from there

OpenStudy (loser66):

go ahead, very good, factor sin out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 0=sin*cos

OpenStudy (loser66):

2sin cos - sin =0 sin(2cos -1) =0 sin =0 or 2cos-1 =0 can step up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is where i am confused how do you get the 2 cos-1?

OpenStudy (loser66):

you have \(2sin (x) cos (x) - sin(x) =0\) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (loser66):

I factor sin(x) out it turns to \(sin(x) (2cos(x) -1) =0\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

got it?

OpenStudy (loser66):

\[\color{red}{sin(x)}2cos(x)-\color{red}{sin(x)}=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so you pull out a sin and the other sin becomes cos-1 and that is where the 2cos comes from

OpenStudy (loser66):

factor sin out \[\color{red}{sin(x)}(2cos(x)-1)=0\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

hey, at the beginning, your right hand side is 2 sin, I do nothing on it

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, I re-write it

OpenStudy (loser66):

tan x = 2 sin x, right? \(\dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}= 2sin (x)\) ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (loser66):

with the condition of \(x\neq \pi/2\) for cos (x)\(\neq 0\)

OpenStudy (loser66):

you can move cos x to the right side and get sinx = 2 sin x cos x, right?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yes or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (loser66):

now, take all to the right hand side to get 2sin cos -sin =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (loser66):

then, get the step above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i understand now thanks !!

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok
