tan^2(x)+3=4tan(x)

Solution

tan^{2} (x) + 3 = 4 tan (x)

Solution

x = 1.24904 \dots + πn, x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 71.56505 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (x) + 3 = 4 tan (x)

Solve by substitution

tan^{2} (x) + 3 = 4 tan (x)

Let:

tan (x) = u

u^{2} + 3 = 4 u

u^{2} + 3 = 4 u : u = 3, u = 1

u^{2} + 3 = 4 u

Move

4 u

to the left side

u^{2} + 3 = 4 u

Subtract

4 u

from both sides

u^{2} + 3 - 4 u = 4 u - 4 u

Simplify

u^{2} + 3 - 4 u = 0

u^{2} + 3 - 4 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

u^{2} - 4 u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - 4 u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 4, c = 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 1}

(- 4)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 2

(- 4)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

(- 4)^{2} = 4^{2}

= 4^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 3 = 12

= 4^{2} - 12

4^{2} = 16

= 16 - 12

Subtract the numbers:

16 - 12 = 4

= 4

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

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

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) + 2}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) - 2}{2 \cdot 1}

u = \frac{- ( - 4 ) + 2}{2 \cdot 1} : 3

\frac{- ( - 4 ) + 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Add the numbers:

4 + 2 = 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{- ( - 4 ) - 2}{2 \cdot 1} : 1

\frac{- ( - 4 ) - 2}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

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

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 2 = 2

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 3, u = 1

Substitute back

u = tan (x)

tan (x) = 3, tan (x) = 1

tan (x) = 3, tan (x) = 1

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) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

tan (x) = 1

General solutions for

tan (x) = 1
