Find solutions of the trigonometric equation sin 12x+cos 6x=0?

We'll change sin 12x, using the double angle identity,
into:


sin 12x = sin 2*(6x) = 2 sin 6x*cos
6x


We'll re-write the
equation:


2 sin 6x*cos 6x + cos 6x =
0


We'll factorize by cos
6x:


cos 6x(2 sin 6x + 1) =
0


We'll set each factor as
zero:


cos 6x = 0


6x =
+/-arccos 0 + 2kpi


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


We'll divide by 6:


x =
+/-(pi/12) + kpi/3


2 sin 6x + 1 =
0


sin 6x = -1/2


6x =
(-1)^k*arcsin(-1/2) + kpi


x = (-1)^(k+1)*(pi/36) +
kpi/6


The solutions of trigonometric equation
are: {+/-(pi/12) + kpi/3 ; k integer}U{(-1)^(k+1)*(pi/36) + kpi/6 ; k
integer}.

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 ...
