tan(θ)=-1/(sqrt(3))

tan (θ) = - \frac{1}{3}

θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + πn

Solution steps

tan (θ) = - \frac{1}{3}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{3} : - \frac{3}{3}

- \frac{1}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3 3}

1 \cdot 3 = 3

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= - \frac{3}{3}

tan (θ) = - \frac{3}{3}

θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + πn

θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + πn

tan^{2} (x) + tan (x) - 30 = 0

4 sin (x) cos (x) + 2 sin (x) - 2 cos (x) - 1 = 0

cos (x) - 3 sin (x) = 0

2 cos^{2} (x) + 2 cos (x) - 1 = 0

2 sin^{2} (x) = 0
