tan^2(θ)=sqrt(3)tan(θ)

Solution

tan^{2} (θ) = 3 tan (θ)

Solution

θ = \frac{π}{3} + πn, θ = πn

Degrees

θ = 6 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (θ) = 3 tan (θ)

Solve by substitution

tan^{2} (θ) = 3 tan (θ)

Let:

tan (θ) = u

u^{2} = 3 u

u^{2} = 3 u : u = 3, u = 0

u^{2} = 3 u

Move

3 u

to the left side

u^{2} = 3 u

Subtract

3 u

from both sides

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

Simplify

u^{2} - 3 u = 0

u^{2} - 3 u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

u^{2} - 3 u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 1, b = - 3, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 1}

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 3

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

(- 3)^{2} = 3

(- 3)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

n

is even

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

= (3)^{2}

Apply radical rule:

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

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

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

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

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

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 3

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0 = 0

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 0

= 3 - 0

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 0 = 3

= 3

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

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 3}{2 \cdot 1}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 1}

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

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

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 + 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Add similar elements:

3 + 3 = 23

= \frac{2 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{2 3}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= 3

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 1} : 0

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 - 3}{2 \cdot 1}

Add similar elements:

3 - 3 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{0}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 3, u = 0

Substitute back

u = tan (θ)

tan (θ) = 3, tan (θ) = 0

tan (θ) = 3, tan (θ) = 0

tan (θ) = 3 : θ = \frac{π}{3} + πn

tan (θ) = 3
