Solution

Step 1 :\(\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta} = \frac{\sin(2\theta)}{\cos(2\theta)}\)

Step 2 :\(\sin(2\theta) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta\) and \(\cos(2\theta) = \cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta = 2\cos^2\theta - 1\)

Step 3 :\(\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\cos\theta}{2\cos^2\theta - 1}\)

Step 4 :Substitute \(\tan(2\theta)\) into the original equation: \(\frac{2\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\cos\theta}{2\cos^2\theta - 1} + 2\cos\theta = 0\)

Step 5 :Multiply through by \(2\cos^2\theta - 1\): \(2\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\cos\theta + 2\cos\theta(2\cos^2\theta - 1) = 0\)

Step 6 :Simplify: \(2\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\cos\theta + 4\cos^3\theta - 2\cos\theta = 0\)

Step 7 :Rearrange: \(4\cos^3\theta - 2\cos\theta + 2\sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}\cos\theta = 0\)

Step 8 :Factor out \(2\cos\theta\): \(2\cos\theta(2\cos^2\theta - 1 + \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta}) = 0\)

Step 9 :Set each factor equal to zero: \(2\cos\theta = 0\) and \(2\cos^2\theta - 1 + \sqrt{1-\cos^2\theta} = 0\)

Step 10 :Solve for \(\cos\theta\) in the first equation: \(\cos\theta = 0\)

Step 11 :Solve for \(\theta\) in the first equation: \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\) or \(\theta = \frac{3\pi}{2}\)

Step 12 :The second equation has no real solutions because the discriminant is negative

Step 13 :\(\boxed{\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}}\)
