Solve the following equations :


Ideas required to solve the problem:


The general solution of any trigonometric equation is given as –


• sin x = sin y, implies x = nπ + (– 1)n y, where n Z.


• cos x = cos y, implies x = 2nπ ± y, where n Z.


• tan x = tan y, implies x = nπ + y, where n Z.


Given,






tan x = -1 or tan x = √3


As, tan x ϵ (-∞ , ∞) so both values are valid and acceptable.


tan x = tan (-π/4) or tan x = tan (π/3)


If tan x = tan y, implies x = nπ + y, where n Z.


Clearly by comparing standard form with obtained equation we have


y = -π/4 or y = π/3


or


Hence,


,where m,n ϵ Z
