JEE Main 2021 (Online) 17th March Evening Shift Mathematics - Trigonometric Equations Question 36 English Explanation
x+2tan⁡x=π2x + 2\tan x = {\pi \over 2} in [0, 2 π\pi ]

2tan⁡x=π2−x2\tan x = {\pi \over 2} - x

2tan⁡x=π2−x2\tan x = {\pi \over 2} - x

tan⁡x=π4−x2\tan x = {\pi \over 4} - {x \over 2}

y=tan⁡xy = \tan x and y=−x2+π4y = {{ - x} \over 2} + {\pi \over 4}

3 intersection points on the graph.

∴\therefore 3 solutions.
