Question

Find the general solution of the following equation:

\[\tan 3x = \cot x\]
Sum
Advertisements

Solution

We have:

\[\tan3x = \cot x\]

\[\Rightarrow \tan3x = \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - x \right)\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3x = n\pi + \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - x \right), n \in Z\]

\[ \Rightarrow 4x = n\pi + \frac{\pi}{2}, n \in Z\]

\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{n\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{8}, n \in Z\]
