Find all solutions if 0degrees is less than or equal to theta less than 360 degrees. tan^2 theta-tan theta=0

Question

campbell_st · Answer

well factorise it by taking out the common factor 

$$\tan(\theta)(\tan(\theta) - 1) = 0$$

the values that make the equation true are 

$$\tan(\theta) = 0...and... \tan(\theta) = 1$$

you just need to find the angles that represent these values. 

Hope this make sense.

thank you! would there be 4 solutions?

campbell_st · Answer

well 4 or 5... tan(x) = 0   x = 0, 180, 360

anonymous · Answer

i got 45, 225, 0, and 180. 360 cant be it because theta is less than 360. is that right?
