Question

Find the general solution of the following equation:

sin θ = tan θ

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

sin θ = tan θ

tan θ = `sin theta/cos theta`

sin θ = `sin theta/cos theta`

Multiply both sides by cos⁡ θ

sin θ ⋅ cos θ = sin θ

sin θ cos θ − sin θ = 0

⇒ sin θ(cos θ − 1) = 0

sin θ(cos θ − 1) = 0

Case 1: sin⁡ θ = 0

sinθ = 0 ⇒ θ = nπ, where n ∈ Z

Case 2: cos⁡θ = 1

cos θ = 1

⇒ θ = 2nπ, where n ∈ Z

Consider excluded values (where cos⁡ θ = 0)

sin θ = `sintheta/costheta`

cos θ = 0

⇒ theta = `pi/2 + npi`, where n ∈ Z

θ = nπ, where n ∈ Z
