The number of solutions of the equation

Question:

The number of solutions of the equation $\mathrm{x}+2 \tan \mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ in the interval $[0,2 \pi]$ is :

  1. (1) 3

  2. (2) 4

  3. (3) 2

  4. (4) 5


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

$x+2 \tan x=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \tan x=\frac{\pi}{2}-x$

$\Rightarrow \tan x=-\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{\pi}{4}$

Number of soluitons of the given eauation is ' 3 '.
