The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \tan x + \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3} - x\right) + \tan\left(\frac{2\pi}{3} + x\right) = 3 \), we will use the properties of tangent and the tangent addition formula. ### Step 1: Rewrite the terms using tangent subtraction and addition formulas We know that: \[ \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3} - x\right) = \frac{\tan\frac{\pi}{3} - \tan x}{1 + \tan\frac{\pi}{3} \tan x} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \tan x}{1 + \sqrt{3} \tan x} \] and \[ \tan\left(\frac{2\pi}{3} + x\right) = \tan\left(\pi - \frac{\pi}{3} + x\right) = -\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3} - x\right) = -\frac{\sqrt{3} - \tan x}{1 + \sqrt{3} \tan x} \] ### Step 2: Substitute these into the original equation Substituting these into the original equation gives: \[ \tan x + \frac{\sqrt{3} - \tan x}{1 + \sqrt{3} \tan x} - \frac{\sqrt{3} - \tan x}{1 + \sqrt{3} \tan x} = 3 \] Notice that the terms involving \(\tan\left(\frac{2\pi}{3} + x\right)\) cancel out, simplifying our equation to: \[ \tan x = 3 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(x\) Now, we can solve for \(x\): \[ \tan x = 3 \] This implies: \[ x = \tan^{-1}(3) + n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the general solution for \(x\) is: \[ x = \tan^{-1}(3) + n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
