Question

Find the general solutions of the following equation:

`tan theta = - sqrt3`

Sum

Solution

The general solution of tan θ = tan α is

θ = nπ + α, n ∈ Z.

Now, tan θ = - `sqrt3`

∴ tan θ = - `tan  pi/3    ....[because "tan" pi/3 = sqrt3]`

∴ tan θ = tan`(pi - pi/3)   ...[because tan (pi - theta) = - tan theta]`

∴ tan θ = tan`(2pi)/3`

∴ the required general solution is

∴ θ = `"n"pi + (2pi)/3,` n ∈ Z
