(i) Given: cos 5x/2 = 0

Formula used: cos θ = 0

⇒ θ = (2n + 1) π/2, n ∈ l

By using the above formula, we have

(ii) Given: cos(x + π/10) = 0

Formula used: cos θ = 0

⇒ θ = (2n + 1) π/2, n ∈ l

By using the above formula, we have

so general solution is x = nπ + 2π/5 where  n ∈ l

(iii) Given: tan 2x = 0

Formula used: tan θ = 0

⇒ θ = nπ, n ∈ l

By using the above formula, we have

tan 2x = 0

⇒ 2x = nπ

⇒ x = nπ/2 where n ∈ l

(iv) Given: tan (3x + π/6) = 0

Formula used: tan θ = 0

⇒ θ = nπ, n ∈ l

By using the above formula, we have

(v) Given: tan(2x - π/4) = 0

Formula used: tan θ = 0

⇒ θ = nπ, n ∈ l

By using the above formula, we have
