If $tan^2x - 3 tanx + 2=0$ and (0° < x < 90°), then the value of x is : |
30° 60° 45° 90° |
45° |
tan²x - 3tanx + 2 - 0 tan²x - 2tanx - tanx + 2 - 0 tanx ( tanx - 2 ) - 1 ( tanx - 2 ) = 0 ( tanx - 1 ). ( tanx - 2 ) = 0 Either ( tanx - 1 = 0 ) or ( tanx - 2 = 0 ) tanx - 2 = 0 is not possible So, tanx - 1 = 0 tanx = 1 { We know, tan45º = 1 } So , x = 45º 45º |
