8tan(-x+pi/8)=8

Solution

8 tan (- x + \frac{π}{8}) = 8

Solution

x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}

Degrees

x = - 22. 5^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

8 tan (- x + \frac{π}{8}) = 8

Divide both sides by

8

8 tan (- x + \frac{π}{8}) = 8

Divide both sides by

8

\frac{8 tan ( - x + \frac{π}{8} )}{8} = \frac{8}{8}

Simplify

tan (- x + \frac{π}{8}) = 1

tan (- x + \frac{π}{8}) = 1

- x + \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

- x + \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Solve

- x + \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn : x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}

- x + \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Move

\frac{π}{8}

to the right side

- x + \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Subtract

\frac{π}{8}

from both sides

- x + \frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn - \frac{π}{8}

Simplify

- x + \frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{8} = \frac{π}{4} + πn - \frac{π}{8}

Simplify

- x + \frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{8} : - x

- x + \frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{8}

Add similar elements:

\frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{8} = 0

= - x

Simplify

\frac{π}{4} + πn - \frac{π}{8} : πn + \frac{π}{8}

For

\frac{π}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{π}{4} = \frac{π 2}{4 \cdot 2} = \frac{π 2}{8}

= \frac{π 2}{8} - \frac{π}{8}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 2 - π}{8}

Add similar elements:

2 π - π = π

= πn + \frac{π}{8}

- x = πn + \frac{π}{8}

- x = πn + \frac{π}{8}

- x = πn + \frac{π}{8}

Divide both sides by

- 1

- x = πn + \frac{π}{8}

Divide both sides by

- 1

\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{πn}{- 1} + \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1}

Simplify

\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{πn}{- 1} + \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1}

Simplify

\frac{- x}{- 1} : x

\frac{- x}{- 1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{- b} = \frac{a}{b}

= \frac{x}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= x

Simplify

\frac{πn}{- 1} + \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1} : - πn - \frac{π}{8}

\frac{πn}{- 1} + \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1}

\frac{πn}{- 1} = - πn

\frac{πn}{- 1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{πn}{1}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{1} = a

= - πn

= - πn + \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1}

\frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1} = - \frac{π}{8}

\frac{\frac{π}{8}}{- 1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{\frac{π}{8}}{1}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{1} = a

\frac{\frac{π}{8}}{1} = \frac{π}{8}

= - \frac{π}{8}

= - πn - \frac{π}{8}

x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}

x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}

x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}

x = - πn - \frac{π}{8}
