This started out much more complex, but I've reduced an equation to this (it's for finding intersections of ellipses):
Asin2(t)+Bsin(t)cos(t)+Csin(t)+Dcos(t)+E=0
I want to solve for t where A/B/C/D/E are constants. Is this solvable algebraically, or is only numeric approximation possible?
Using trig identities and the formula for phase shifting, I can further simplify it down to this form:
sin(2t+F)+Gsin(t+H)=I
Where F/G/H/I are constants. The formula is much simpler, but this may be a dead end, because now we have two angles to deal with.
Answer
yes use sin(t)=2tan(t/2)1+(tan(t/2))2
cos(t)=1−(tan(t/2))21+(tan(t/2))2
and after this you can substitute tan(t/2)=z
