What is the General Solution of \(tan^2 \theta\) =\(tan^2 \alpha\) ?

Solution :

The general solution of \(tan^2 \theta\) = \(tan^2 \alpha\) is given by \(\theta\) = \(n\pi \pm \alpha\), n \(\in\) Z.

Proof :

We have, \(tan^2 \theta\) =\(tan^2 \alpha\)

\(\implies\)  \(1 – tan^2\theta\over 1 + tan^2 \theta\) =\(1 – tan^2\alpha\over 1 + tan^2 \alpha\)

\(\implies\)   \(cos 2\theta\) = \(cos 2\alpha\)

\(\implies\)  \(2\theta\) = \(2n\pi \pm 2\alpha\),  n \(\in\)  Z.

\(\implies\)  \(\theta\) = \(n\pi \pm \alpha\), n \(\in\) Z.
