To solve this equation, we first need to substitute the values of cosecant and tangent in terms of sine and cosine.
Given equation: cot(x) + tan(x) = 2 Since cot(x) = 1/tan(x), let's substitute cot(x) in terms of tangent: 1/tan(x) + tan(x) = 2 Now, let's simplify the equation by getting a common denominator: (1 + tan^2(x))/(tan(x)) = 2
Since 1 + tan^2(x) = sec^2(x), let's substitute sec^2(x) in terms of sine and cosine: (sec^2(x))/(tan(x)) = 2
Now, let's simplify further by substituting sec(x) = 1/cos(x) and tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x): ((1/cos^2(x))/(sin(x)/cos(x))) = 2 (1/cos(x))/(sin(x)/cos(x)) = 2 (1/cos(x))/(sin(x)) = 2 (1/(cos(x) sin(x))) = 2 1 = 2(cos(x) sin(x))
Since 1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x), let's substitute sin^2(x) in terms of cos(x): 1 = 2(cos(x) * sqrt(1 - cos^2(x)))
Now, let's square both sides to get rid of the square root: 1 = 4cos^2(x)(1 - cos^2(x)) 1 = 4cos^2(x) - 4cos^4(x)
Rearranging the equation: 4cos^4(x) - 4cos^2(x) + 1 = 0
This is a quadratic equation in terms of cos(x). To solve for the values of cos(x), we can use the quadratic formula: cos(x) = [4 ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4(4)(1))] / (2*4) cos(x) = [4 ± sqrt(16 - 16)] / 8 cos(x) = [4 ± 0] / 8 cos(x) = 1 or cos(x) = 1/2
Since cos(x) = 1 is not possible, the valid solution is: cos(x) = 1/2
Now, we can find the value of sin(x): sin(x) = sqrt(1 - cos^2(x)) sin(x) = sqrt(1 - (1/2)^2) sin(x) = sqrt(1 - 1/4) sin(x) = sqrt(3)/2
Therefore, the solutions for x are: x = π/3 + 2πn, where n is an integer, and x = 2π/3 + 2πn, where n is an integer.

(1/(cos(x) sin(x))) = 2
1 = 2(cos(x) sin(x))
Since 1 = sin^2(x) + cos^2(x), let's substitute sin^2(x) in terms of cos(x):
1 = 2(cos(x) * sqrt(1 - cos^2(x)))

This is a quadratic equation in terms of cos(x). To solve for the values of cos(x), we can use the quadratic formula:
cos(x) = [4 ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4(4)(1))] / (2*4)
cos(x) = [4 ± sqrt(16 - 16)] / 8
cos(x) = [4 ± 0] / 8
cos(x) = 1 or cos(x) = 1/2
Since cos(x) = 1 is not possible, the valid solution is:
cos(x) = 1/2
Now, we can find the value of sin(x):
sin(x) = sqrt(1 - cos^2(x))
sin(x) = sqrt(1 - (1/2)^2)
sin(x) = sqrt(1 - 1/4)
sin(x) = sqrt(3)/2
Therefore, the solutions for x are:
x = π/3 + 2πn, where n is an integer, and
x = 2π/3 + 2πn, where n is an integer.
