tan^2(x)-(sqrt(3)+1)tan(x)+sqrt(3)=0

Solution

tan^{2} (x) - (3 + 1) tan (x) + 3 = 0

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (x) - (3 + 1) tan (x) + 3 = 0

Solve by substitution

tan^{2} (x) - (3 + 1) tan (x) + 3 = 0

Let:

tan (x) = u

u^{2} - (3 + 1) u + 3 = 0

u^{2} - (3 + 1) u + 3 = 0 : u = 3, u = 1

u^{2} - (3 + 1) u + 3 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - (3 + 1) u + 3 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

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

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

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

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

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 = 4

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 ab + b^{2}

a = - 3, b = 1

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

Simplify

(- 3)^{2} - 2 (- 3) \cdot 1 + 1^{2} : 4 + 23

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

is even

(- 3)^{2} = (3)^{2}

= (3)^{2}

Apply radical rule:

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

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

Apply exponent rule:
