To solve the equations involving the tangent (\( \tan \)) and cotangent (\( \cot \)) functions, let's analyze them one by one.
1. \( 3\tan x + 2\tan x - 1 = 0 \)
First, combine like terms:
\[ 5\tan x - 1 = 0 \]
Now, isolate \( \tan x \):
\[ 5\tan x = 1 \]
\[ \tan x = \frac{1}{5} \]
Now, we find the general solution for \( x \):
\[ x = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{5}\right) + n\pi \quad \text{(where n is any integer)}\]
2. \( 2\cot x + 3\cot x - 2 = 0 \)
Similarly, combine like terms:
\[ 5\cot x - 2 = 0 \]
Isolate \( \cot x \):
\[ 5\cot x = 2 \]
\[ \cot x = \frac{2}{5} \]
Finding the general solution for \( x \):
Recall that \( \cot x = \frac{1}{\tan x} \), thus:
\[ \tan x = \frac{5}{2} \]
Now the general solution is:
\[ x = \arctan\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) + n\pi \quad \text{(where n is any integer)}\]
Summary of Solutions:
For \( 3\tan x + 2\tan x - 1 = 0 \):
- \( x = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{5}\right) + n\pi, \, n \in \mathbb{Z} \)
For \( 2\cot x + 3\cot x - 2 = 0 \):
- \( x = \arctan\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) + n\pi, \, n \in \mathbb{Z} \)
