Tan3x

Tan3x is one of the triple angle identities in trigonometry. It is an important trigonometric identity that is used to solve various trigonometric and integration problems. Tan3x formula is given by tan3x = (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1 - 3 tan²x) and it can be derived using angle sum formula of tan function. Tan3x can also be expressed in terms of sin and cos as tan3x = sin 3x/cos 3x.

In this article, we will explore the concept of the tan3x formula, its application, and proof. We will also solve some examples based on tan3x for a better understanding of the tan3x identity.

Tan3x is a trigonometric function that gives the value of the tan function for a triple angle. The graph of tan3x is narrower than the graph of tan x. We know that the period of tan x is π radians and the period of tan bx is given by π/|b|. Hence the period of tan3x is π/3 radians. So, the value of tan3x repeats after every π/3 radians, that is, tan3x = tan (3x + π/3). The formula for tan3x can be derived using the tan (a + b) formula.

Tan3x formula is an important trigonometric formula given as tan3x = (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1 - 3 tan²x) that is used to solve various mathematical problems and complex integrations. The formula for tan3x can also be written as tan3x = sin 3x/cos 3x as tangent function is a ratio of the sine function and cosine function.

As we have studied, we know that the formula for tan3x is (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1 - 3 tan²x). Now, we will prove this formula using the angle sum formula for tan and tan 2x formula. Note that we can write 3x as 3x = 3x + x. Also, we will use the following formulas to prove that tan3x = (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1 - 3 tan²x):

• tan (A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / (1 - tan A tan B)
• tan 2x = (2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)

Let us represent tan(3x) as follows,

⇒ tan(3x) = tan (2x + x)

Using the above trigonometric formula for tan (A + B), we have

tan (2x + x) = [tan(2x) + tan(x)] / [1 - tan(2x) tan(x)]

tan(2x + x) = [tan x + {(2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)}] / [1 - {(2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)} tan x] {Substituing the value tan 2x = (2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x)}

On solving, we have

tan(2x + x) = (tan x - tan³x + 2 tan x) / (1 - tan²x - 2 tan²x)

= (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1- 3 tan²x)

Thus, tan3x = (3 tan x - tan³x) / (1- 3 tan²x)

Hence we have derived the formula for tan3x.

Next, we will determine the derivative and integral of tan3x. First, let us differentiate tan3x with respect to x using the chain rule method. We know that the derivative of tan x is sec²x and the derivative of ax is a, where a is a constant. Using this, we have

d(tan3x)/dx = d(tan3x)/d(3x) × d(3x)/dx

= sec²(3x) × 3

= 3 sec²(3x)

Therefore, the derivative of tan 3x is 3 sec²(3x).

Next, for tan3x integration, we will express tan 3x as a ratio of sin 3x and cos 3x, that is, tan 3x = sin 3x/cos 3x. Also, we will use the fact that the derivative of cos 3x is -3 sin 3x. Using these facts and formulas, we have

∫tan3x dx = ∫(sin 3x / cos 3x) dx

= ∫(3 sin 3x / 3 cos 3x) dx [Multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3]

Assume cos 3x = u ⇒ -3 sin 3x = du ⇒ 3 sin 3x dx = -du. We have

∫tan 3x dx = ∫(3 sin 3x / 3 cos 3x) dx

= (-1/3) ∫ (1/u) du

= (-1/3) ln |u| du

= (-1/3) ln |cos 3x| + C

= (1/3) ln |sec 3x| + C

Thus, the tan 3x integration is (-1/3) ln |cos 3x| + C or (1/3) ln |sec 3x| + C.
