How to find all solutions of equation (2*cosx-square root3)(11sinx-9)=0?

We'll start from the fact that a product is zero if one of
it's factors is zero.


We'll set the first factor as
zero.


2*cosx-sqrt3 = 0


We'll
add sqrt3 both sides:


2cos x =
sqrt3


cos x = sqrt3/2


x =
+/-arccos(sqrt3/2) + 2kpi, k is an integer number


x =
+/-(pi/6) + 2kpi


Let's put the next factor equal to
zero.


11sinx-9 = 0


We'll add 9
both sides:


11sin x = 9


We'll
divide by 11:


sin x = 9/11


x =
(-1)^k*arcsin(9/11) + k*pi


The solutions of
the equation are: {+/-(pi/6) + 2kpi} U {(-1)^k*arcsin(9/11) +
k*pi}.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
