To solve the equation tan(2x) = 5sin(2x), we can use trigonometric identities to rewrite both sides of the equation and then solve for x.

Using the identity tan(2x) = 2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)), we can rewrite the equation as:

2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) = 5sin(2x).

Next, we can rewrite sin(2x) using the identity sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x):

2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) = 5(2sin(x)cos(x)).

Simplifying further:

2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) = 10sin(x)cos(x).

Multiplying both sides by (1 - tan^2(x)) to eliminate the denominator:

2tan(x) = 10sin(x)cos(x)(1 - tan^2(x)).

Using the identity tan^2(x) = sin^2(x) / cos^2(x), we can rewrite the equation as:

2tan(x) = 10sin(x)cos(x)(1 - sin^2(x) / cos^2(x)).

Simplifying further:

2tan(x) = 10sin(x)cos(x)(cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)) / cos^2(x).

Distributing:

2tan(x) = 10sin(x)cos^3(x) - 10sin^3(x)cos(x) / cos^2(x).

Dividing both sides by 2tan(x):

1 = 5sin(x)cos^2(x) - 5sin^3(x) / sin(x)cos(x).

Simplifying further:

1 = 5cos^2(x) - 5sin^2(x) / cos(x).

Using the identity cos^2(x) - sin^2(x) = cos(2x), we can rewrite the equation as:

1 = 5cos(2x) / cos(x).

Multiplying both sides by cos(x) to eliminate the denominator:

cos(x) = 5cos(2x).

Now, we have a simpler equation to solve. We can proceed as follows:

1. If cos(x) = 0, then x = 90°.

2. If cos(x) ≠ 0, divide both sides by cos(x):

1 / cos(x) = 5cos(2x) / cos(x).

Simplifying further:

sec(x) = 5cos(2x).

Using the identity cos(2x) = 2cos^2(x) - 1, we can rewrite the equation as:

sec(x) = 5(2cos^2(x) - 1).

Substituting sec(x) = 1 / cos(x):

1 / cos(x) = 10cos^2(x) - 5.

Rearranging the equation:

10cos^3(x) - 5cos(x) - 1 = 0.

To solve this cubic equation, we can either use numerical methods or graphical methods. Unfortunately, it cannot be solved algebraically in a straightforward manner.

Therefore, to find the solutions in the given interval of 0 ≤ x ≤ 180°, we will need to use numerical or graphical methods to approximate the values of x that satisfy the equation.

To solve the equation tan(2x) = 5sin(2x), we can use trigonometric identities to express everything in terms of a single trigonometric ratio.

First, we will use the double-angle identity for tangent: tan(2x) = 2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)).

Now we can substitute this expression into the equation:
(2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x))) = 5sin(2x).

Next, we will use the double-angle identity for sine: sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x).

Substituting this into the equation, we have:
(2tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x))) = 5(2sin(x)cos(x)).

Next, we can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 2 and multiplying both sides by (1 - tan^2(x)):

tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) = 5sin(x)cos(x).

Now, let's express cosine in terms of sine using the Pythagorean identity: cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x).

Substituting this into the equation, we have:
tan(x) / (1 - tan^2(x)) = 5sin(x)(√(1 - sin^2(x))).

Now let's express tan(x) in terms of sine and cosine: tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x).

Substituting this into the equation, we get:
(sin(x) / cos(x)) / (1 - (sin(x) / cos(x))^2) = 5sin(x)(√(1 - sin^2(x))).

Simplifying this equation, we have:
(sin(x) / cos(x)) / (1 - sin^2(x) / cos^2(x)) = 5sin(x)(√(1 - sin^2(x))).

Multiplying both sides by cos^2(x), we get:
sin(x) / (1 - sin^2(x)) = 5sin(x)(√(1 - sin^2(x))).

Now we can cross-multiply and simplify:
sin(x) = 5 sin^2(x) √(1 - sin^2(x)).

Let's solve this equation:

1. First, we notice the condition 0 ≤ x ≤ 180°. Since sin(x) is always between -1 and 1, we can eliminate the negative solution range.

2. If sin(x) equals 0, the equation becomes 0 = 0, which is a true statement. Hence, sin(x) = 0 is a solution to the equation.

3. If sin(x) is not equal to 0, we can divide by sin(x) on both sides:

1 = 5 sin(x) √(1 - sin^2(x)).

4. Squaring both sides of the equation, we get:

1 = 25 sin^2(x) (1 - sin^2(x)).

5. Expanding and simplifying the equation, we have:

1 = 25 sin^2(x) - 25 sin^4(x).

6. Rearranging the terms, we get:

25 sin^4(x) - 25 sin^2(x) + 1 = 0.

This equation is a quadratic equation in terms of sin^2(x). Let y = sin^2(x), we have:

25y^2 - 25y + 1 = 0.

We can solve this quadratic equation for y using the quadratic formula:

y = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a,

where a = 25, b = -25, and c = 1.

Using these values, we get:

y = (-(-25) ± √((-25)^2 - 4(25)(1))) / (2(25)).

Simplifying further:

y = (25 ± √(625 - 100)) / 50,

y = (25 ± √525) / 50.

This gives two possible values for y:

y = (25 + √525) / 50,
y = (25 - √525) / 50.

7. Now, let's solve for sin(x) using the values of y:

If y = (25 + √525) / 50, then sin(x) = √y.

If y = (25 - √525) / 50, then sin(x) = √y.

8. Finally, we can solve for x by taking the inverse sine of both sides:

If y = (25 + √525) / 50, then x = arcsin(√y) + kπ, where k is an integer.

If y = (25 - √525) / 50, then x = arcsin(√y) + kπ, where k is an integer.

These are the solutions for the equation tan(2x) = 5sin(2x) in the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 180°.

tan2x = sin2x

sin2x/cos2x = sin2x
sin2x(cos2x-1) = 0
so,
sin2x=0
or
cos2x=1
