$\tan (2 x) = 1$

Step 1

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$\tan (2 x) - 1 = 0$

Step 2

Set the argument in $\tan (2 x)$ equal to $\frac{π}{2} + π n$ to find where the expression is undefined.

$2 x = \frac{π}{2} + π n$ , for any integer $n$

Step 3

Divide each term in $2 x = \frac{π}{2} + π n$ by $2$ and simplify.

Step 3.3.1.2.1

Multiply $\frac{π}{2}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$x = \frac{π}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{π n}{2}$

Step 3.3.1.2.2

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$x = \frac{π}{4} + \frac{π n}{2}$

Step 4

The equation is undefined where the denominator equals $0$ , the argument of a square root is less than $0$ , or the argument of a logarithm is less than or equal to $0$ .

${x | x = \frac{π}{4} + \frac{π n}{2}}$ $n$ , for any integer $n$
