All real numbers \( x \) except where \( \cos x = 0 \) or \( \sin x = -1 \).

Solución

We start with the equation \[ \frac{3\cos x}{1+\sin x} + 3\tan x = \frac{3}{\cos x}. \] Since \[ \tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}, \] we rewrite the equation as \[ \frac{3\cos x}{1+\sin x} + 3\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \frac{3}{\cos x}. \] To eliminate the denominators, multiply both sides of the equation by \(\cos x(1+\sin x)\): \[ \cos x(1+\sin x) \cdot \frac{3\cos x}{1+\sin x} + \cos x(1+\sin x) \cdot 3\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \cos x(1+\sin x) \cdot \frac{3}{\cos x}. \] Simplify each term: 1. The first term: \[ \frac{3\cos x}{1+\sin x} \cdot \cos x(1+\sin x) = 3\cos^2 x. \] 2. The second term: \[ 3\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \cdot \cos x(1+\sin x) = 3\sin x(1+\sin x). \] 3. The right-hand side: \[ \frac{3}{\cos x} \cdot \cos x(1+\sin x) = 3(1+\sin x). \] Thus, the equation becomes \[ 3\cos^2 x + 3\sin x(1+\sin x) = 3(1+\sin x). \] Divide both sides by 3: \[ \cos^2 x + \sin x(1+\sin x) = 1+\sin x. \] Expand the term \(\sin x(1+\sin x)\): \[ \cos^2 x + \sin x + \sin^2 x = 1+\sin x. \] Subtract \(\sin x\) from both sides: \[ \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x = 1. \] This is the well-known Pythagorean identity, which holds for all real \(x\). However, recall that we multiplied by \(\cos x(1+\sin x)\). We must ensure that we are not including any values that make these factors zero: 1. \(\cos x \neq 0\) (since division by \(\cos x\) occurs in \(\tan x\) and in the term \(\frac{3}{\cos x}\)). 2. \(1+\sin x \neq 0\) (to avoid division by zero in the term \(\frac{3\cos x}{1+\sin x}\)). This means \(\sin x \neq -1\). Thus, the solution is: All \(x\) such that the identity holds (which it does for all \(x\)) and the restrictions \[ \cos x \neq 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \sin x \neq -1 \] are satisfied. In summary, the solution is: \[ \boxed{\{\,x\in\mathbb{R} : \cos x\neq0 \text{ and } \sin x\neq -1\,\}}. \]

Beyond the Answer

Ah, tackling trigonometric equations can be like solving a puzzle, but with an electrifying twist! In this case, we have to manipulate identities cleverly. Start by rewriting \( \tan x \) in terms of sine and cosine. Then, expand and combine like terms. This approach often reveals paths to solutions that might be obscured at first glance. Another tip is to consider restricting your domain. For example, evaluating the equation in a specific interval can provide insight into periodicity of trigonometric functions and help identify if any extraneous solutions arise during simplification. It’s essential to not just find a solution, but ensure it’s valid within the context of the problem!
