Solve the equation for the positive values of \(\theta\) less than 360o. 3 tan \(\theta\) + 2 = -1
135o or 315o
45o or 135o
315o or 180o
315v + 45o
360o or 315o

Explanation

3 tan \(\theta\) + 2 = -1

3 tan \(\theta\) \(\frac{-3}{3}\) = -1

\(\theta\) = tan -1(-1)

\(\theta\) = 360o - 45o

= 315o

\(\theta\) = 180 - 45o = 135o
