Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Continue applying the tangent addition formula.

    From the previous step, we have:

    tan⁡θ+tan⁡2θ1−tan⁡θtan⁡2θ=1\frac{\tan \theta + \tan 2\theta}{1 - \tan \theta \tan 2\theta} = 1

    The left side of this equation is the expansion of tan⁡(θ+2θ)\tan(\theta + 2\theta) using the tangent addition formula tan⁡(A+B)=tan⁡A+tan⁡B1−tan⁡Atan⁡B\tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}.
    So, we can write:

    tan⁡(θ+2θ)=1\tan(\theta + 2\theta) = 1 tan⁡(3θ)=1\tan(3\theta) = 1
  2. Find the general solution for θ\theta.

    The general solution for an equation of the form tan⁡x=k\tan x = k is x=nπ+arctan⁡(k)x = n\pi + \arctan(k), where nn is an integer.
    In this case, k=1k=1, so arctan⁡(1)=π4\arctan(1) = \frac{\pi}{4}.
    Therefore, for tan⁡(3θ)=1\tan(3\theta) = 1:

    3θ=nπ+π43\theta = n\pi + \frac{\pi}{4}

    Divide by 3 to solve for θ\theta:

    θ=nπ3+π12\theta = \frac{n\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{12}

    where n∈Zn \in \mathbb{Z} (the set of all integers).

    The final answer is θ=nπ3+π12, where n∈Z\boxed{\theta = \frac{n\pi}{3} + \frac{\pi}{12}, \text{ where } n \in \mathbb{Z}}.
