An equation is called a homogeneous equation in sin and cos,
if and only if all its terms are of the same degree in sin and cos of the same angle.
To solve the homogeneous equation it is necessary:
a) to transfer all terms to the left-hand side;
b) to take all common factors out of brackets;
c) to equate all factors and brackets to zero;
d) the brackets equated to zero give the homogeneous equation of the smaller
degree, which should be divided by cos ( or sin ) of the higher power;
e) to solve the received algebraic equation in tan .
