tan^2(x)-5tan(x)+6=0

Solution

tan^{2} (x) - 5 tan (x) + 6 = 0

Solution

x = 1.24904 \dots + πn, x = 1.10714 \dots + πn

Degrees

x = 71.56505 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 63.43494 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (x) - 5 tan (x) + 6 = 0

Solve by substitution

tan^{2} (x) - 5 tan (x) + 6 = 0

Let:

tan (x) = u

u^{2} - 5 u + 6 = 0

u^{2} - 5 u + 6 = 0 : u = 3, u = 2

u^{2} - 5 u + 6 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - 5 u + 6 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 5, c = 6

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6}{2 \cdot 1}

(- 5)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6 = 1

(- 5)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 5)^{2} = 5^{2}

= 5^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 6 = 24

= 5^{2} - 24

5^{2} = 25

= 25 - 24

Subtract the numbers:

25 - 24 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) \pm 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1} : 3

\frac{- ( - 5 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{5 + 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

5 + 1 = 6

= \frac{6}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{6}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{6}{2} = 3

= 3

u = \frac{- ( - 5 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1} : 2

\frac{- ( - 5 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{5 - 1}{2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

5 - 1 = 4

= \frac{4}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 3, u = 2

Substitute back

u = tan (x)

tan (x) = 3, tan (x) = 2

tan (x) = 3, tan (x) = 2

tan (x) = 3 : x = arctan (3) + πn

tan (x) = 3

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = 3

General solutions for

tan (x) = 3

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

x = arctan (3) + πn

x = arctan (3) + πn

tan (x) = 2 : x = arctan (2) + πn

tan (x) = 2

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (x) = 2

General solutions for

tan (x) = 2

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

x = arctan (2) + πn

x = arctan (2) + πn

Combine all the solutions

x = arctan (3) + πn, x = arctan (2) + πn

Show solutions in decimal form

x = 1.24904 \dots + πn, x = 1.10714 \dots + πn
