We'll write the function tan x = sin x/cos
x
We'll re-write the given
equation:
2 sin x (sin x/cos x) + sin x/cos x - 2 sin x - 1
= 0
We'll multiply by cos
x:
2(sin x)^2 + sin x - 2sin x*cos x - cos x =
0
We'll factorize the first 2 terms by sin x and the last 2
terms by - cos x:
sin x(2 sin x + 1) - cos x(2 sin x + 1) =
0
We'll factorize by 2 sin x +
1:
(2 sin x + 1)(sin x - cos x) =
0
We'll set the first factor as
zero:
2 sin x + 1 = 0
We'll
subtract 1;
2sinx = -1
sin x =
-1/2
x = arcsin (-1/2)
The
sine function is negative in the 3rd and 4th quadrants:
x =
pi + pi/6
x = 7pi/6 (3rd
qudrant)
x = 2pi -
pi/6
x = 11pi/6 (4th
qudrant)
We'll set the other factor as
zero:
sin x - cos x = 0
This
is an homogeneous equation and we'll divide it by cos
x:
tan x - 1 = 0
tan x =
1
The function tangent is positive in the 1st and the 3rd
qudrants:
x = arctan
1
x = pi/4 (1st
quadrant)
x = pi+
pi/4
x = 5pi/4 (3rd
qudrant)
The complete set
of solutions of the equation, over the range [0 , 2pi], are: {pi/4 ; 5pi/4 ; 7pi/6 ;
11pi/6}.
