(1-2cos^2(x))/(tan(x))>0

Solution

\frac{1 - 2 cos ^{2} ( x )}{tan ( x )} > 0

Solution

\frac{π}{4} + πn < x < \frac{π}{2} + πn or \frac{3 π}{4} + πn < x < π + πn

Interval Notation

(\frac{π}{4} + πn, \frac{π}{2} + πn) \cup (\frac{3 π}{4} + πn, π + πn)

Decimal

0.78539 \dots + πn < x < 1.57079 \dots + πn or 2.35619 \dots + πn < x < 3.14159 \dots + πn

Solution steps

\frac{1 - 2 cos ^{2} ( x )}{tan ( x )} > 0

Use the following identity:

cos^{2} (x) + sin^{2} (x) = 1

Therefore

cos^{2} (x) = 1 - sin^{2} (x)

\frac{1 - 2 ( 1 - sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{tan ( x )} > 0

Simplify

\frac{1 - 2 ( 1 - sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{tan ( x )} : \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )}

\frac{1 - 2 ( 1 - sin ^{2} ( x ) )}{tan ( x )}

Expand

1 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : 2 sin^{2} (x) - 1

1 - 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Expand

- 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x)) : - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (x)

- 2 (1 - sin^{2} (x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 2, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (x)

= - 2 \cdot 1 - (- 2) sin^{2} (x)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 2 \cdot 1 + 2 sin^{2} (x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (x)

= 1 - 2 + 2 sin^{2} (x)

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 2 = - 1

= 2 sin^{2} (x) - 1

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )}

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )} > 0

Periodicity of

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )} : π

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )}

is composed of the following functions and periods:

sin (x)

with periodicity of

2 π

The compound periodicity is:

= π

Express with sin, cos

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{tan ( x )} > 0

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{\frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )}} > 0

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1}{\frac{s i n ( x )}{c o s ( x )}} > 0

Simplify

\frac{cos ( x ) ( 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1 )}{sin ( x )} > 0

Find the zeroes and undifined points of

\frac{cos ( x ) ( 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1 )}{sin ( x )}

for

0 \leq x < π

To find the zeroes, set the inequality to zero

\frac{cos ( x ) ( 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1 )}{sin ( x )} = 0

\frac{cos ( x ) ( 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1 )}{sin ( x )} = 0, 0 \leq x < π : x = \frac{π}{2}, x = \frac{π}{4}, x = \frac{3 π}{4}

\frac{cos ( x ) ( 2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 1 )}{sin ( x )} = 0, 0 \leq x < π

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

cos (x) (2 sin^{2} (x) - 1) = 0

Solving each part separately

cos (x) = 0 or 2 sin^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

cos (x) = 0, 0 \leq x < π : x = \frac{π}{2}

cos (x) = 0, 0 \leq x < π

cos (x) = 0

Solutions for the range

0 \leq x < π

x = \frac{π}{2}

2 sin^{2} (x) - 1 = 0, 0 \leq x < π : x = \frac{π}{4}, x = \frac{3 π}{4}

2 sin^{2} (x) - 1 = 0, 0 \leq x < π

Solve by substitution

2 sin^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

Let:

sin (x) = u

2 u^{2} - 1 = 0

2 u^{2} - 1 = 0 : u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{1}{2}

2 u^{2} - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

2 u^{2} - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

2 u^{2} - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

2 u^{2} = 1

2 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 u ^{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{2}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{2}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{1}{2}, u = - \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, sin (x) = - \frac{1}{2}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, 0 \leq x < π : x = \frac{π}{4}, x = \frac{3 π}{4}

sin (x) = \frac{1}{2}, 0 \leq x < π
