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

To solve this equation, cos²x + sinx = 1, replace cos²x with

• 1/(sec²x)

• sin²x − 1

• 1 − sin²x

• 1 + tan²x

To solve the equation sec²x − secx = 2

• start by subtracting 2 from both sides and then factor

• add sec x to both sides and factor

• factor out secx and set each factor equal to 2

• sec x is never bigger than 1, so there are no solutions
