(i) We start with \(\sin x \tan x = \sin x \cdot \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\).
This simplifies to \(\frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x}\).
Using the identity \(\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x\), we have:
\(\frac{1 - \cos^2 x}{\cos x}\).
Thus, \(\sin x \tan x = \frac{1 - \cos^2 x}{\cos x}\).
(ii) Given \(2 \sin x \tan x = 3\), substitute \(\sin x \tan x = \frac{1 - \cos^2 x}{\cos x}\):
\(2 \cdot \frac{1 - \cos^2 x}{\cos x} = 3\).
Multiply through by \(\cos x\):
\(2(1 - \cos^2 x) = 3 \cos x\).
Expand and rearrange:
\(2 - 2\cos^2 x = 3\cos x\).
\(2\cos^2 x + 3\cos x - 2 = 0\).
Let \(c = \cos x\), then:
\(2c^2 + 3c - 2 = 0\).
Using the quadratic formula \(c = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\), where \(a = 2, b = 3, c = -2\):
\(c = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot (-2)}}{2 \cdot 2}\).
\(c = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 16}}{4}\).
\(c = \frac{-3 \pm 5}{4}\).
\(c = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5\) or \(c = \frac{-8}{4} = -2\).
Since \(\cos x\) must be between -1 and 1, \(\cos x = 0.5\).
Thus, \(x = 60^\circ\) or \(x = 300^\circ\).
