tan(2θ)+6tan(θ)+8=0

Solution

tan (2 θ) + 6 tan (θ) + 8 = 0

Solution

θ = - 0.64552 \dots + πn, θ = 0.81999 \dots + πn, θ = - 1.02643 \dots + πn

Degrees

θ = - 36.98596 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 46.98210 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = - 58.81021 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (2 θ) + 6 tan (θ) + 8 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

8 + tan (2 θ) + 6 tan (θ)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

= 8 + \frac{2 tan ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} + 6 tan (θ)

Combine the fractions

\frac{2 tan ( θ )}{- tan ^{2} ( θ ) + 1} + 6 tan (θ) : \frac{8 tan ( θ ) - 6 tan ^{3} ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )}

\frac{2 tan ( θ )}{- tan ^{2} ( θ ) + 1} + 6 tan (θ)

Convert element to fraction:

6 tan (θ) = \frac{6 tan ( θ ) ( 1 - tan ^{2} ( θ ) )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{2 tan ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} + \frac{6 tan ( θ ) ( 1 - tan ^{2} ( θ ) )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{2 tan ( θ ) + 6 tan ( θ ) ( 1 - tan ^{2} ( θ ) )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )}

Expand

2 tan (θ) + 6 tan (θ) (1 - tan^{2} (θ)) : 8 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

2 tan (θ) + 6 tan (θ) (1 - tan^{2} (θ))

Expand

6 tan (θ) (1 - tan^{2} (θ)) : 6 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

6 tan (θ) (1 - tan^{2} (θ))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 6 tan (θ), b = 1, c = tan^{2} (θ)

= 6 tan (θ) \cdot 1 - 6 tan (θ) tan^{2} (θ)

= 6 \cdot 1 \cdot tan (θ) - 6 tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ)

Simplify

6 \cdot 1 \cdot tan (θ) - 6 tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ) : 6 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

6 \cdot 1 \cdot tan (θ) - 6 tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ)

6 \cdot 1 \cdot tan (θ) = 6 tan (θ)

6 \cdot 1 \cdot tan (θ)

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 1 = 6

= 6 tan (θ)

6 tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ) = 6 tan^{3} (θ)

6 tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

tan^{2} (θ) tan (θ) = tan^{2 + 1} (θ)

= 6 tan^{2 + 1} (θ)

Add the numbers:

2 + 1 = 3

= 6 tan^{3} (θ)

= 6 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

= 6 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

= 2 tan (θ) + 6 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

Add similar elements:

2 tan (θ) + 6 tan (θ) = 8 tan (θ)

= 8 tan (θ) - 6 tan^{3} (θ)

= \frac{8 tan ( θ ) - 6 tan ^{3} ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )}

= \frac{8 tan ( θ ) - 6 tan ^{3} ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} + 8

8 + \frac{- 6 tan ^{3} ( θ ) + 8 tan ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} = 0

8 + \frac{- 6 tan ^{3} ( θ ) + 8 tan ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} = 0

Solve by substitution

8 + \frac{- 6 tan ^{3} ( θ ) + 8 tan ( θ )}{1 - tan ^{2} ( θ )} = 0

Let:

tan (θ) = u

8 + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} = 0

8 + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} = 0 : u \approx - 0.75317 \dots, u \approx 1.07169 \dots, u \approx - 1.65186 \dots

8 + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} = 0

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

8 + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} = 0

Multiply both sides by

1 - u^{2}

8 (1 - u^{2}) + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) = 0 \cdot (1 - u^{2})

Simplify

8 (1 - u^{2}) + \frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) = 0 \cdot (1 - u^{2})

Simplify

\frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2}) : - 6 u^{3} + 8 u

\frac{- 6 u ^{3} + 8 u}{1 - u ^{2}} (1 - u^{2})

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{( - 6 u ^{3} + 8 u ) ( 1 - u ^{2} )}{1 - u ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

1 - u^{2}

= - - 6 u^{3} + 8 u

Simplify
