No. sin(0) = 0 So cos(0)*sin(0) = 0 so the left hand side = 1
cos x - 2 sin x cos x = 0 -> cos x (1 - 2 sin x) = 0 => cos x = 0 or 1 - 2 sin x = 0 cos x = 0: x = π/2 + kπ 1 - 2 sin x = 0: sin x = 1/2 -> x = π/6 + 2kπ or 5/6π + 2kπ Thus x = π/2 + kπ; x = π/6 + 2kπ; x = 5/6π + 2kπ solve the original equation.
Secant x= 1/cosx So if cos x=1 ,we know that x=0 degrees ( or radians), so secant x is 1/cos (0)=1/1=1
2cos2x - cosx -1 = 0 Factor: (2cosx + 1)(cosx - 1) = 0 cosx = {-.5, 1} x = {...0, 120, 240, 360,...} degrees
If sin θ = tan θ, that means cos θ is 1 (since tan θ = (sin θ)/(cos θ)) (Usually in and equation a/b=a, b doesn't have to be 1 when a is 0, but cos θ = 1 if and only if sin θ = 0) The angles that satisfy cos θ = 1 is 2n(pi) (or 360n in degrees) When n is an integer. But if sin θ = tan θ = θ, the only answer is θ = 0. Because sin 0 is 0 and cos 0 is 1 and tan 0 is 0 The only answer would be when θ = 0.
