Can someone please show me how to find the x-coordinate for the stationary point for this curve?
$y=\tan(x)\cos(2x)$ for $0 < x < \pi/2$
This is what I've done so far:
$$\frac{dy}{dx}=\cos(2x)\sec^2(x)-2\tan(x)\sin(2x)$$
$$\cos(2x)\sec^2(x)-2\tan(x)\sin(2x)=0$$ $$1-\tan^2(x)=4\sin^2(x)$$
I don't know how to continue this to find the answer.
The final answer should be $x\approx 0.452$
$\cos (2x)=2\tan x \sin (2x)\cos^{2}x$. So $\cos (2x)=\sin^{2} (2x)=1-\cos^{2} (2x)$. Solve this quadratic for $\cos (2x)$.
