Answer

(a) $ x= n\pi, \ \text{or}\ \ x=\frac{3\pi}{4} +n\pi$ (b) $ \bigg\{0,\frac{3\pi}{4} ,\pi,\ \frac{7\pi}{4} \bigg\} $

Work Step by Step

(a) Given $$( \tan x )( \tan x+1) =0 $$ Then $$\tan x=0,\ \ \text{or} \ \ \tan x+1=0$$ Case 1 , $$\tan x=0,\ \ \Rightarrow \ \ x=0,\pi ,2\pi,..= n\pi $$ Case 1 , $$\tan x=-1,\ \ \Rightarrow \ \ x=\frac{3\pi}{4} +n\pi $$ Hence the general solutions is $$ x= n\pi, \ \text{or}\ \ x=\frac{3\pi}{4} +n\pi$$ (b) To find solutions on the interval $ 0\leq x<2\pi $, put values of $n $ $$ \bigg\{0,\frac{3\pi}{4} ,\pi,\ \frac{7\pi}{4} \bigg\} $$
