Answer
The equation \(\cos^{2} x + \cos^{2} x \cdot \tan^{2} x = 1\) is always true for all \(x\) except when \(\cos x = 0\), which happens at \(x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi\) for any integer \(k\).
Solution
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for \(x\):
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\cos^{2}\left(x\right)\tan^{2}\left(x\right)=1\)
- step1: Find the domain:
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\cos^{2}\left(x\right)\tan^{2}\left(x\right)=1,x\neq \frac{\pi }{2}+k\pi ,k \in \mathbb{Z}\)
- step2: Multiply the terms:
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\left(\cos\left(x\right)\tan\left(x\right)\right)^{2}=1\)
- step3: Move the expression to the left side:
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\left(\cos\left(x\right)\tan\left(x\right)\right)^{2}-1=0\)
- step4: Calculate:
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\cos^{2}\left(x\right)\tan^{2}\left(x\right)-1=0\)
- step5: Rewrite the expression:
\(\cos^{2}\left(x\right)+\cos^{2}\left(x\right)\left(\frac{\sin\left(x\right)}{\cos\left(x\right)}\right)^{2}-1=0\)
- step6: Simplify:
\(0=0\)
- step7: The statement is true:
\(x \in \mathbb{R}\)
- step8: Check if the solution is in the defined range:
\(x \in \mathbb{R},x\neq \frac{\pi }{2}+k\pi ,k \in \mathbb{Z}\)
- step9: Find the intersection:
\(x\neq \frac{\pi }{2}+k\pi ,k \in \mathbb{Z}\)
To solve the equation
\[
\cos^{2} x + \cos^{2} x \cdot \tan^{2} x = 1,
\]
we can start by using the identity for \(\tan x\):
\[
\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}.
\]
Thus, we can rewrite \(\tan^{2} x\) as:
\[
\tan^{2} x = \frac{\sin^{2} x}{\cos^{2} x}.
\]
Substituting this into the equation gives:
\[
\cos^{2} x + \cos^{2} x \cdot \frac{\sin^{2} x}{\cos^{2} x} = 1.
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\cos^{2} x + \sin^{2} x = 1.
\]
Using the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^{2} x + \cos^{2} x = 1\), we see that this equation is always true for all \(x\) where \(\cos x \neq 0\).
The only restriction comes from the fact that \(\tan x\) is undefined when \(\cos x = 0\), which occurs at:
\[
x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z}.
\]
Thus, the solution to the equation is:
\[
x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi, \quad k \in \mathbb{Z}.
\]
This means \(x\) can take any real value except for those specific points where \(\cos x\) is zero.
