cot 4θ = – 1

Sum

Solution

The general solution of tan θ = tan α is
θ = nπ + α, n ∈ Z
Now, 

cot 4θ  = – 1

∴ tan 4θ = – 1

∴ tan 4θ = `– tan  pi/(4)     ...[ ∵ tan  pi/4 = 1]`

∴ tan 4θ  = `tan(pi - pi/4)`       ...[∵ tan(π – θ) = – tan θ]

∴ tan 4θ = `tan  (3pi)/(4)`

∴ the required general solution is given by

4θ =  `nπ +  (3pi)/(4), n ∈ Z`

i.e. θ = `(npi)/(4) + (3pi)/(16),n ∈ Z`.
