Question 1056518: what is the solution for
2sine squared theta minus 1 over sine theta times cosine theta equals tangent theta minus cotangent theta Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
Multiply through by
Use the zero factor property:
; ; ;
, where n is any integer.
I think the second equation has no solution:
Multiply both sides by 2
That is the expression for
That can have no solution because the absolute
values of the sine is always 1 or less.
So the only solution is
