You can use the arctangent or the reverse tangent to solve for x, which is denoted by arctan or tan^-1.

If tan [x] = 3, then arctan [3] = x. This applies to all trigonometric functions (ex. if sin [x] = 94, then arcsin [94] = x.

Punch that into your calculator and the answer will be:

arctan [3.0] = 71.565 (degrees)

arctan [3.0] = 1.249 (radians)

Prove that tan x equals tan 6x?

It is NOT equal. Try calculating tan x, and tan 6x, for a few values of "x", on your scientific calculator. Perhaps you are supposed to solve an equation, and see FOR WHAT values of "x" the two are equal?

How do you solve tan squared theta - tan theta equals 0?

Let x = theta, since it's easier to type, and is essentially the same variable. Since tan^2(x)=tan(x), you know that tan(x) must either be 1 or zero for this statement to be true. So let tan(x)=0, and solve on your calculator by taking the inverse. Similarly for, tan(x)=1

What are solutions to the equation tan squared x minus three equals zero?

Solve for x, where tan² x - 3 = 0. tan² x = 3; then, sec² x = tan² x + 1 = 4, sec x = ±2, and cos x = 1 /sec x = ±½. Now, we know that sin 30° = ½; whence cos 60° = ½. Therefore, if 0 ≤ x < 2π, then x = 60°, 120°, 240°, or 300°; or, in radians, x = ⅓π, ⅔π, 1⅓π, or 1⅔π.
