Here's the solution for 7.2.2.

7.2.2

  1. Substitute the simplified expression from question 7.2.1 into the given expression.

    From 7.2.1, we found that sin⁡(60∘+2x)+sin⁡(60∘−2x)=3cos⁡2x\sin(60^\circ + 2x) + \sin(60^\circ - 2x) = \sqrt{3} \cos 2x.
    The expression to evaluate is tan⁡60∘[sin⁡(60∘+2x)+sin⁡(60∘−2x)]\tan 60^\circ [\sin(60^\circ + 2x) + \sin(60^\circ - 2x)].
    Substitute the result from 7.2.1:

    tan⁡60∘[3cos⁡2x]\tan 60^\circ [\sqrt{3} \cos 2x]
  2. Evaluate tan⁡60∘\tan 60^\circ.

    We know that tan⁡60∘=3\tan 60^\circ = \sqrt{3}.
    Substitute this value into the expression:

    3⋅3cos⁡2x\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{3} \cos 2x =3cos⁡2x= 3 \cos 2x
  3. Use the double angle identity for cos⁡2x\cos 2x to express it in terms of cos⁡x\cos x.

    The identity is cos⁡2x=2cos⁡2x−1\cos 2x = 2 \cos^2 x - 1.
    Substitute this into the expression:

    3(2cos⁡2x−1)3 (2 \cos^2 x - 1)
  4. Substitute the given value cos⁡x=t\cos x = \sqrt{t}.

    3(2(t)2−1)3 (2 (\sqrt{t})^2 - 1) =3(2t−1)= 3 (2t - 1)
  5. Simplify the expression.

    3(2t−1)=6t−33(2t - 1) = 6t - 3

    The value of the expression in terms of tt is:

    6t−36t - 3
