prove tan(3pi+θ)=tan(θ)

Solution

prove

tan (3 π + θ) = tan (θ)

Solution

True

Solution steps

tan (3 π + θ) = tan (θ)

Manipulating left side

tan (3 π + θ)

Rewrite using trig identities

tan (3 π + θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{sin ( 3 π + θ )}{cos ( 3 π + θ )}

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= \frac{sin ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) + cos ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( 3 π + θ )}

Use the Angle Sum identity:

cos (s + t) = cos (s) cos (t) - sin (s) sin (t)

= \frac{sin ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) + cos ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) - sin ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}

Simplify

\frac{sin ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) + cos ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) - sin ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )} : \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

\frac{sin ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) + cos ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}{cos ( 3 π ) cos ( θ ) - sin ( 3 π ) sin ( θ )}

sin (3 π) cos (θ) + cos (3 π) sin (θ) = - sin (θ)

sin (3 π) cos (θ) + cos (3 π) sin (θ)

sin (3 π) cos (θ) = 0

sin (3 π) cos (θ)

sin (3 π) = 0
