Solve for x tan(x)=3/4

Problem

tan(x)=3/4

Solution

1. Identify the equation as a basic trigonometric equation where the tangent of an angle x is a constant value.

2. Apply the inverse tangent function to both sides of the equation to isolate x for the principal value.

x=arctan(3/4)

3. Account for the period of the tangent function, which is π to find the general solution.

x=arctan(3/4)+n*π

4. Specify the domain of the integer constant n used in the general solution.

n∈ℤ

Final Answer

tan(x)=3/4⇒x=arctan(3/4)+n*π,n∈ℤ
