i get about three lines down on my paper and i still end up with a sin(x) with all cos(x) or vice versa.

Please help me!

Thank you!

  1. sin^3(x)-2cos^3(x)=0

    Or sin^3(x) = 2cos^3(x)

    Or sin^3(x)/cos^3(x) = 2

    Or tan^3(x) = 2

    Or tan(x) = 2^(1/3) = 1.26

    Or x = atan{1.26} = 51.56 deg


  2. sin³x - 2cos³x = 0

    sin³x = 2cos³x

    sin³x / cos³x = 2

    (sinx / cosx = tanx)

    sin³x / cos³x = tan³x

    tan³x = 2

    (tanx)³ = 2

    tanx = 2^1/3

    x = 51°34'
