Answer

$\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \cup \left(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}\right) \cup \left(\frac{7\pi}{4}, 2\pi\right]$

Work Step by Step

The tangent function is increasing on the intervals $\left(\frac{(2k-1)\pi}{2},\frac{(2k+1)\pi}{2}\right)$, where $k$ is integer. In $[0,2\pi]$ the trangent function increases in the intervals $\left[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$, $\left(\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2}\right)$ and $\left(\frac{3\pi}{2},2\pi\right]$ $\tan 0 = 0$ $\tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1$ So the interval $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ is included $\tan \frac{3\pi}{4} = -1$ $\tan \frac{5\pi}{4} = 1$ So the interval $\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}\right)$ is included $\tan \frac{7\pi}{4} = -1$ $\tan 2\pi = 0$ So the interval $\left(\frac{7\pi}{4}, 2\pi\right]$ is included Finally we get that the values of $x$ on the interval $[0, 2\pi]$ that satisfy $ -1 < \tan x < 1 $ are: $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \cup \left(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}\right) \cup \left(\frac{7\pi}{4}, 2\pi\right]$
