7tan^2(θ)-4tan(θ)=0

Solution

7 tan^{2} (θ) - 4 tan (θ) = 0

Solution

θ = 0.51914 \dots + πn, θ = πn

Degrees

θ = 29.74488 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

7 tan^{2} (θ) - 4 tan (θ) = 0

Solve by substitution

7 tan^{2} (θ) - 4 tan (θ) = 0

Let:

tan (θ) = u

7 u^{2} - 4 u = 0

7 u^{2} - 4 u = 0 : u = \frac{4}{7}, u = 0

7 u^{2} - 4 u = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

7 u^{2} - 4 u = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 7, b = - 4, c = 0

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 7}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 0}{2 \cdot 7}

(- 4)^{2} - 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 0 = 4

(- 4)^{2} - 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 0

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 4)^{2} = 4^{2}

= 4^{2} - 4 \cdot 7 \cdot 0

Apply rule

0 \cdot a = 0

= 4^{2} - 0

4^{2} - 0 = 4^{2}

= 4^{2}

Apply radical rule:

n a^{n} = a,

assuming

a \geq 0

= 4

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) \pm 4}{2 \cdot 7}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) + 4}{2 \cdot 7}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 4 ) - 4}{2 \cdot 7}

u = \frac{- ( - 4 ) + 4}{2 \cdot 7} : \frac{4}{7}

\frac{- ( - 4 ) + 4}{2 \cdot 7}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{4 + 4}{2 \cdot 7}

Add the numbers:

4 + 4 = 8

= \frac{8}{2 \cdot 7}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 7 = 14

= \frac{8}{14}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{4}{7}

u = \frac{- ( - 4 ) - 4}{2 \cdot 7} : 0

\frac{- ( - 4 ) - 4}{2 \cdot 7}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{4 - 4}{2 \cdot 7}

Subtract the numbers:

4 - 4 = 0

= \frac{0}{2 \cdot 7}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 7 = 14

= \frac{0}{14}

Apply rule

\frac{0}{a} = 0, a \neq = 0

= 0

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{4}{7}, u = 0

Substitute back

u = tan (θ)

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7}, tan (θ) = 0

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7}, tan (θ) = 0

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7} : θ = arctan (\frac{4}{7}) + πn

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7}

Apply trig inverse properties

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7}

General solutions for

tan (θ) = \frac{4}{7}

tan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arctan (a) + πn

θ = arctan (\frac{4}{7}) + πn

θ = arctan (\frac{4}{7}) + πn

tan (θ) = 0 : θ = πn

tan (θ) = 0
