Trigonometric Functions and Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a trigonometric equation over a given interval. It begins by introducing the equation and demonstrating how to factor it using substitution. The tutorial then solves for sine x and identifies the solutions on the unit circle. Finally, it concludes by summarizing the solutions found for the equation.

What substitution is used to simplify the given trigonometric equation?

• u = cos(x)

• u = cot(x)

• u = tan(x)

• u = sin(x)
