2cos(θ)tan(θ)-tan(θ)=0

2 cos (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ) = 0

θ = πn, θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 cos (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ) = 0

Factor

2 cos (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ) : tan (θ) (2 cos (θ) - 1)

2 cos (θ) tan (θ) - tan (θ)

Factor out common term

tan (θ)

= tan (θ) (2 cos (θ) - 1)

tan (θ) (2 cos (θ) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

tan (θ) = 0 or 2 cos (θ) - 1 = 0

tan (θ) = 0 : θ = πn

tan (θ) = 0

θ = 0 + πn

θ = 0 + πn

Solve

θ = 0 + πn : θ = πn

θ = 0 + πn

0 + πn = πn

θ = πn

θ = πn

2 cos (θ) - 1 = 0 : θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

2 cos (θ) - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 cos (θ) - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

2 cos (θ) - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 cos (θ) = 1

2 cos (θ) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 cos (θ) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 cos ( θ )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

General solutions for

cos (θ) = \frac{1}{2}

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

θ = πn, θ = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn
