Use the Quadratic Formula to solve the equation in the interval [0, 2π). Then use a graphing utility to approximate the angle x.
(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Round each answer to four decimal places.)
tan^2 x + 5 tan x + 3 = 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introduce new variable u = tan(x).
Then your equation becomes

 = .

Solve this quadratic equation by quadratic formula. You will get

 =  = .

 =   --->  tan(x) =   --->  x =   --->  apply your calculator.

 =   --->  tan(x) =   --->  x =   --->  apply your calculator.
