Hi..

First, simplify the left side of the equation using the trigonometric identity for tangent:

tangg_ cose

cosx tanx will become

sinc coS.sinc

Then, the simplified equation we now have to solve is

mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7B%5Csin%7B%

The values of angle x which sign equals 1/2 are 30 degrees and 150 degrees, or mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac%7B%5Cand mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac%7B%7B radians.

Since sine is a periodic function with the period of mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7B2%7D%5Cpi , any angle obtained by adding an integer multiple of mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7B2%7D%5Cpi to mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac%7B%5C and mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cfrac%7B%7B will have the same sine.

So, all solutions of this equation are

mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7Bx%7D%3D%5C and mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7Bx%7D%3D%5C ,

where k is an integer: mathImg.php?%5Cdisplaystyle%7Bk%7D%3D%7B
