Question

Find the principal solutions of tan x = `-sqrt(3)`

Sum

Solution

tan x = `-sqrt(3)`

∴ tan x = `-tan (pi/3)`

∴ tan x = `tan (pi - pi/3)`

= `tan ((2pi)/3)` and  tan x = `tan (2pi - pi/3)`

= `tan ((5pi)/3)`

such that `0 ≤ (2pi)/3 < 2pi` and `0 ≤ (5pi)/3 < 2pi`

∴ The required principal solutions are x = `(2pi)/3` and x = `(5pi)/3`.
