- A solution of a trigonometric equation is the value of the unknown angle that satisfies the equation.
- Consider the equation sin θ = ½.
- Clearly we see that principal solution of the equation sin θ = ½ are π/6 and 5π/6 because these solutions lie between 0 to 2π.

Answer:
x = 5π/6 , 11π/6
Note:
★ The possible values of the variable which satisfy the given equation are called its solutions or roots.
★ Principal solution of a trigonometric equation : The possible angles ( ie; the possible values of variable x ) in one rotation ( ie ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π ) which satisfy any trigonometric equation are called its principal solutions.
Solution:
Given: tanx = -1/√3
To find: Principal solutions
Now,
We know that ;
If tanx = 1/√3
then x = π/6 ( angle for the 1st quadrant)
Now ,
We shall use the angle π/6 and the horizontal axes (ie ; 0 or π or 2π) to obtain the principal solutions of the given trigonometric equation tanx = -1/√3 .
Also,
We know that , tanx is negative in the 2nd quadrant and the 4th quadrant .
Thus,
=> tanx = -1/√3
=> tanx = tan(π - π/6) or tan(2π - π/6)
=> tanx = tan(5π/6) or tan(11π/6)
=> x = 5π/6 or 11π/6
Where x = 5π/6 lies in 2nd quadrant and x = 11π/6 lies in 4th quadrant .
Hence,
The required principal solution are :
x = 5π/6 , 11π/6
