I need help trying to sole tan^2 x =1 where x is more than or equal to 0 but x is less than or equal to pi

Question

this is what it looks like tan^2 x=1 where 0 ≤ x ≤ π

Answer 1

    tan²(x) = 1 ,    0 ≤ x ≤ Π

tan²(x) = 1     ==>     (tan(x))² = 1

√(tan(x))² = √1     ==>     tan(x) = ± 1

Note the following:     tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

So,   tan(x) = ± 1     ==>     sin(x)/cos(x) = ± 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by cos(x):

      (cos(x))·(sin(x)/cos(x)) = (cos(x))·(± 1)

        sin(x) = ± cos(x)

Looking at the top half of a unit circle (where x is between 0 and Π)...

...find the coordinates where sin(x) = cos(x) and sin(x) = -cos(x)

You will see that the coordinates that match are (√2/2, √2/2), which is located at x = ∏/4, and (-√2/2, √2/2), which is located at x = 3Π/4.

Thus,     x = Π/4    and     x = 3Π/4

Answer 2

Solve for tan x first, tan x = ±1

Therefore, x = pi/4, 3pi/4 on [0, pi]

Answer 3

I need help trying to sole tan² x = 1 where x is more than or equal to 0 but x is less than or equal to pi. this is what it looks like tan^2 x=1 where 0 ≤ x ≤ π

Detailed Solution:

tan² x = 1 0 ≤ x ≤ π

tan x = ±1

tan x = 1 (Quadrant 1 only in 0 ≤ x ≤ π)

x = tan^-1 1 = π/4

tan x = –1 (Quadrant 2 only in 0 ≤ x ≤ π)

x = tan^-1 –1 = π – π/4 = 3π/4

x = (π/4, 3π/4)

Answer 4

tan^2(x) = 1

take the square root of both sides

tanx = + or -1 at this point you could recognize it's a 1-1- sqr2 right triangle that's 45 degrees Or you could plug in 1 into a calculator with an inverse trig function, and it would read 45 degrees or pi/4, plug in -1 and the inverse tangent will probably say -45 degrees. Add 180 to -45 to get 135 degrees. You want quadrant I and II, not IV where -45 degrees is.

There're an infinite number of solutions, but only two if the solutions are resticted to 0<angle<pi

answer is 45 and 135 degrees or pi/4 and 3pi/4 radians

another method is

tan^2(x) = 1

tan^2(x) -1=0

factor

(tanx +1)(tanx-1) = 0

set each factor = 0

tanx =-1 or +1

reference angle is 45 degrees,

x =45 or 180-45 = 135

convert to radians

x =pi/4 or 3pi/4
