Q. Find all angles, 0θ<360 0^{\circ} \leq \theta<360^{\circ} , that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest tenth of a degree.\newlinetan2θ+5tanθ+6=0 \tan ^{2} \theta+5 \tan \theta+6=0 \newlineAnswer: θ= \theta=
  1. Factor Quadratic Equation: Recognize that the given equation is a quadratic equation in terms of tan(θ)\tan(\theta). We can solve for tan(θ)\tan(\theta) by factoring the quadratic equation.tan2(θ)+5tan(θ)+6=0\tan^2(\theta) + 5\tan(\theta) + 6 = 0This can be factored into:(tan(θ)+2)(tan(θ)+3)=0(\tan(\theta) + 2)(\tan(\theta) + 3) = 0
  2. Solve for tan(θ)\tan(\theta): Set each factor equal to zero and solve for tan(θ)\tan(\theta).\newlinetan(θ)+2=0\tan(\theta) + 2 = 0 or tan(θ)+3=0\tan(\theta) + 3 = 0\newlineThis gives us two possible solutions for tan(θ)\tan(\theta):\newlinetan(θ)=2\tan(\theta) = -2 or tan(θ)=3\tan(\theta) = -3
  3. Find tan(θ)=2\tan(\theta) = -2 angles: Find the angles that correspond to tan(θ)=2\tan(\theta) = -2 in the range 0° \leq \theta < 360°. The arctangent of 2-2 does not correspond to a special angle, so we will use a calculator to find the reference angle. arctan(2)63.4°\arctan(-2) \approx -63.4° Since the tangent function is negative in the second and fourth quadrants, we find the angles in those quadrants: 180°63.4°116.6°180° - 63.4° \approx 116.6° (second quadrant) 360°63.4°296.6°360° - 63.4° \approx 296.6° (fourth quadrant)
  4. Find tan(θ)=3\tan(\theta) = -3 angles: Find the angles that correspond to tan(θ)=3\tan(\theta) = -3 in the range 0° \leq \theta < 360°. Again, the arctangent of 3-3 does not correspond to a special angle, so we will use a calculator to find the reference angle. arctan(3)71.6°\arctan(-3) \approx -71.6° Since the tangent function is negative in the second and fourth quadrants, we find the angles in those quadrants: 180°71.6°108.4°180° - 71.6° \approx 108.4° (second quadrant) 360°71.6°288.4°360° - 71.6° \approx 288.4° (fourth quadrant)
