SOLUTION: when tanxsin^2x=tanx, and looking at the intervals [0,2pie) why is 0 and pie the only solutions for x? Shouldn't the solutions also include pie/2 and 3pie/2?

Since

this means that

which is undefined (since you CANNOT divide by zero).

The same applies when

So because these values make the tangent function undefined, this means that they are NOT part of the domain. So this means that they are NOT part of the solution set (since everything in the solution set must be in the domain)
