sin2x-tanx=0 , find all solutions to the equation in the interval [0,2pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would you use the double angle identity sin2x=2sinxcosx? and change the tan to sinx/cosx

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

That might work

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Wait if you do that wouldn't the cos be able to cancel because they both have cos in them? I might be wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slader is telling me that you multiply the cosx and get 2sinxcos^2x-sinx=0 and then factor out a sinx

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Oh okay

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

That makes sence

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

If you need any more help dont be afraid to asl

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

Sin2x=tanx Sinxcosx=sinx/cosx Cos^2x=1/2 So the values can be π/3,2/3π, 4/3π, and 5/3π

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

Sin2x=2sinxcosx

OpenStudy (isaidavila):

Angles will be π/4, 3/4π,5/4π and 7/4π
