Trigonometric Equations Question 21

Question: The set of values of x for which the expression $ \frac{\tan 3x-\tan 2x}{1+\tan 3x\tan 2x}=1 $ , is

[MP PET 1992; MNR 1993; UPSEAT 2002]

Options:

A) $ \varphi $

B) $ \frac{\pi }{4} $

C) $ { n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}:n=1,,2,,3….. } $

D) $ { 2n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4}:n=1,,2,,3….. } $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ \tan (3x-2x)=\tan x=1 $
    Þ $ x=n\pi +\frac{\pi }{4} $ But this value does not satisfy the given equation. Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
