Question

If 2tan x/1-tan^2 x =1 then x can equal:

(More than 1 answer)
a. x=7pi/8+ n(pi)
b. x=pi/8+ n(pi)
c. x=3pi/8+ n(pi)
d. x=5pi/8+ n(pi)

Answer 1

Try factoring your expression, as if you were treating \(\tan x\) as a single variable.

Answer 2

\[\frac{2\tan x}{1-\tan^2 x} = \tan 2x \]

Answer 3

ans is b

tan2x = 1
hence, 2x = 3.14/4 + 2*n*3.14

Answer 4

is there another answer then b though?

Answer 5

Whoops...interpreted your question incorrectly since you didn't use parenthesis...follow @FoolForMath 's reasoning.

Answer 6

The simplest way is to check via options.
