The number of solutions of the equation x + 2 tan x = π 2 in the interval 0 , 2 π is
Options
- A3
- B4
- C2
- D5
Correct answer
A. 3
Step-by-step solution
We have x + 2 tan x = π 2 ⇒ 2 tan x = π 2 - x ⇒ tan x = - 1 2 x + π 4 The graph of the two functions is given as It is clear from the graph that the number of solutions of the given equation is   3 .
