1.
Given, tan2x + tan x = 0
Given, tan2x + tan x = 0
Let tan x be a
Thus, a^2 + a = 0
a = 0, -1
Thus, tan x = 0 => x = 0
And tan x = -1 => x = 135o = 3π/4
Thus the solutions are: {0, 3π/4}
2.
Given,
2cos2 (2θ) = 1- cos 2θ
Let cos 2θ = a. We can write this expression as,
2a2 + a – 1 = 0
(2a – 1)(a + 1) = 0
a = ½ , -1
Thus, cos 2θ = ½ , -1
When cos 2θ = ½
2θ = 60, 300
θ = 30, 150 = π/6, 5π/6
Also, when cos 2θ = -1
2θ = 180
θ = 90 = π/2
