tan^4(x)=1

Solution

tan^{4} (x) = 1

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{4} (x) = 1

Solve by substitution

tan^{4} (x) = 1

Let:

tan (x) = u

u^{4} = 1

u^{4} = 1 : u = 1, u = - 1, u = i, u = - i

u^{4} = 1

Rewrite the equation with

v = u^{2}

and

v^{2} = u^{4}

v^{2} = 1

Solve

v^{2} = 1 : v = 1, v = - 1

v^{2} = 1

For

(g (x))^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

g (x) = f (a), - f (a)

v = 1, v = - 1

v = 1, v = - 1

Substitute back

v = u^{2},

solve for

u

Solve

u^{2} = 1 : u = 1, u = - 1

u^{2} = 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

u^{2} = 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = 1, u = - 1

1 = 1

1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

- 1 = - 1

- 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - 1

u = 1, u = - 1

Solve

u^{2} = - 1 : u = i, u = - i

u^{2} = - 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

u^{2} = - 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = - 1, u = - - 1

Simplify

- 1 : i

- 1

Apply imaginary number rule:

- 1 = i

= i

Simplify

- - 1 : - i

- - 1

Apply imaginary number rule:

- 1 = i

= - i

u = i, u = - i

The solutions are

u = 1, u = - 1, u = i, u = - i

Substitute back

u = tan (x)

tan (x) = 1, tan (x) = - 1, tan (x) = i, tan (x) = - i

tan (x) = 1, tan (x) = - 1, tan (x) = i, tan (x) = - i

tan (x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

tan (x) = 1
