Solving Trig Equations

Choose a good way to start solving this equation

tanx sin²x = 2 tanx

• divide tanx from both sides

• factor out tanx

• subtract 2 tanx from the left and then factor tanx out

• cancel sin²x out

Solve on the domain [0, 2π)

0 = sinx(sinx − 1)

• 0, π

• 0, π, ½π

• ½π

• 0, 90, 270
