Tan^2x+3=0

OpenStudy (reemii):

Is it \[ \tan^2 (x) + 3 = 0 \:? \]

OpenStudy (reemii):

if so, what do you think about \(\tan^2(x) = -3\) ?

OpenStudy (antiprime):

OpenStudy (reemii):

When you look at \(Y^2 = -3\), you see that there is no solution \(Y\in \mathbb{R}\). Here \(Y=\tan(x)\). -> whatever \(x\), the square of \(Y=\tan(x)\) is some positive value and it can't be equal to \(-3\).
