Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{x}=(2 \mathrm{n}+1) \pi+\operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right), \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sin x \(\tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} = \frac{-3/5}{-4/5} = \frac{3}{4}\) Let \(\alpha = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\). This is an acute angle. In the third quadrant, the principal value is \(\pi + \alpha\). The general solution is…
