3tan^2(x/3)=1

Solution

3 tan^{2} (\frac{x}{3}) = 1

Solution

x = \frac{π}{2} + 3 πn, x = - \frac{π}{2} + 3 πn

Degrees

x = 9 0^{\circ} + 54 0^{\circ} n, x = - 9 0^{\circ} + 54 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 tan^{2} (\frac{x}{3}) = 1

Solve by substitution

3 tan^{2} (\frac{x}{3}) = 1

Let:

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = u

3 u^{2} = 1

3 u^{2} = 1 : u = \frac{1}{3}, u = - \frac{1}{3}

3 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

3

3 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 u ^{2}}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{1}{3}, u = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute back

u = tan (\frac{x}{3})

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}, tan (\frac{x}{3}) = - \frac{1}{3}

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}, tan (\frac{x}{3}) = - \frac{1}{3}

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3} : x = \frac{π}{2} + 3 πn

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}

General solutions for

tan (\frac{x}{3}) = \frac{1}{3}

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + πn

\frac{x}{3} = arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

\frac{x}{3} = arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

Solve

\frac{x}{3} = arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn : x = \frac{π}{2} + 3 πn

\frac{x}{3} = arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

Simplify

arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn : \frac{π}{6} + πn

arctan (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

Use the following trivial identity:

arctan (\frac{1}{3}) = \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} + πn

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{π}{6} + πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{π}{6} + πn

Multiply both sides by
