若cos(x-40°)=cos(x+20°)+cos(x-20°),则tanx的值______.

问题描述:

若cos(x-40°)=cos(x+20°)+cos(x-20°),则tanx的值______.

cos(x-40°)=cos(x+20°)+cos(x-20°),
cosxcos40°+sinxsin40°=cosxcos20°-sinxsin20°+cosxcos20°+sinxsin20°
cosxcos40°+sinxsin40°=2cosxcos20°
同时除以cosx得
cos40°+sin40°tanx=2cos20°
tanx=(2cos20°-cos40°)/sin40°
