Answer

30∘30^\circ

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Isolate tan⁡2θ\tan^2\theta.

    The given equation is:

    3tan⁡2θ−1=03\tan^2\theta - 1 = 0

    Add 1 to both sides:

    3tan⁡2θ=13\tan^2\theta = 1

    Divide by 3:

    tan⁡2θ=13\tan^2\theta = \frac{1}{3}
  2. Take the square root of both sides.

    tan⁡θ=±13\tan\theta = \pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} tan⁡θ=±13\tan\theta = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
  3. Consider the given range for θ\theta.

    The problem specifies that 0∘≤θ≤90∘0^\circ \leq \theta \leq 90^\circ. In this range (the first quadrant), the tangent function is positive. Therefore, we take the positive value:

    tan⁡θ=13\tan\theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
  4. Find the value of θ\theta.

    We know that tan⁡(30∘)=13\tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.
    So,

    θ=30∘\theta = 30^\circ

    This value is within the specified range 0∘≤θ≤90∘0^\circ \leq \theta \leq 90^\circ.

    The solution is 30∘30^\circ.
