u kno tan2x = 2tanx/1-tan^2x nd cotx = 1/tanx
OpenStudy (anonymous):
form a quadratic nd solve........ for tanx........ then u l get the g.s
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\tan(2x) = -\cot(90 + x -30) \implies -(-\tan(x-30)) = \tan(x - \frac{\pi}{6})\]
\[\implies \tan(2x) = \tan(x - \frac{\pi}{3})\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
General solution is given by:
\[\tan ( \theta) = \tan(x)\]
then:
\[\theta = n \pi + x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so:
\[2x = n \pi + ( x - \frac{\pi}{3} ) \implies x = n \pi + \frac{\pi}{3}\]

hey @waterineyes but my books says it as x = n pie + 5pie/6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So put n = 0 1 2 3 4 etc etc and find the corresponding value of x..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can subtract it from \(2 \pi\)..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wat???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait something got wrong..
Let me check..
