Solution and Explanation

If we have the equation \(tany = (1 + (1+x)/(1−x))\), and substitute \(x = cosθ\), we can simplify it as follows: 

\(tany = 2 |(1+cos^2θ)/(1−cos^2θ)| / |(1+sin^2θ)/(1−sin^2θ)|\) 

Simplifying further:

 \(tany = 2 |(1+cos^2θ)/(sin^2θ)| / |(1+sin^2θ)/(cos^2θ)|\) 

\(tany = 2 |(cos^4θ + cos^2θ)/(sin^2θ)| / |(sin^4θ + sin^2θ)/(cos^2θ)|\) 

\(tany = 2(cos^4θ + cos^2θ) / (sin^4θ + sin^2θ)\) 

This can be rewritten as: 

\(tany = 2cos(8π + 4θ)⋅cos(8π − 4θ) / 2sin(8π + 4θ)⋅cos(8π − 4θ)\) 

Simplifying further: 

\(tany = tan(8π + 4θ)\)

From this equation, we can deduce that \(4y = (2π + θ)\), which implies \(sin(4y) = cosθ = x.\)

Trigonometric Equations

Trigonometric equation is an equation involving one or more trigonometric ratios of unknown angles. It is expressed as ratios of sine(sin), cosine(cos), tangent(tan), cotangent(cot), secant(sec), cosecant(cosec) angles. For example, cos2 x + 5 sin x = 0 is a trigonometric equation. All possible values which satisfy the given trigonometric equation are called solutions of the given trigonometric equation.
