Name: Section:

1. Solve the following trigonometric equations

(a) 3 tan2 x − 1 = 0

(b) cot x cos2 x = 2 cot x

(c) (3 tan2 x − 1)(tan2 x − 3) = 0

(d) sin2 x = 3 cos2 x

2. Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π)

(a) 2 sin2 x + 3 cos x − 3 = 0

(Hint: rewrite the equation so that it has only cosine functions)

(b) sec x + tan x = 1

(c) sin2 θ − cos2 θ = 2 sin2 −1

(d) 2 sec2 x + tan2 x − 3 = 0

(e) cos x + sin x tan x = 2

3. Solve the following multiple angle equations where x ∈ (−∞, +∞)

√
(a) sin 2x = − 23

(b) sin πx + cos πx = 0

(c) 2 sin2 (2x) = 1

(d) tan2 (3x) = 3
