tan(x)+sqrt(3)=1+sqrt(3)cot(x)

Solution

tan (x) + 3 = 1 + 3 cot (x)

Solution

x = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn, x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 12 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (x) + 3 = 1 + 3 cot (x)

Subtract

1 + 3 cot (x)

from both sides

tan (x) + 3 - 1 - 3 cot (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + 3 + tan (x) - cot (x) 3

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + 3 + \frac{1}{cot ( x )} - cot (x) 3

- 1 + \frac{1}{cot ( x )} + 3 - cot (x) 3 = 0

Solve by substitution

- 1 + \frac{1}{cot ( x )} + 3 - cot (x) 3 = 0

Let:

cot (x) = u

- 1 + \frac{1}{u} + 3 - u 3 = 0

- 1 + \frac{1}{u} + 3 - u 3 = 0 : u = - \frac{3}{3}, u = 1

- 1 + \frac{1}{u} + 3 - u 3 = 0

Multiply both sides by

u

- 1 + \frac{1}{u} + 3 - u 3 = 0

Multiply both sides by

u

- 1 \cdot u + \frac{1}{u} u + 3 u - u 3 u = 0 \cdot u

Simplify

- 1 \cdot u + \frac{1}{u} u + 3 u - u 3 u = 0 \cdot u

Simplify

- 1 \cdot u : - u

- 1 \cdot u
