What value of x in the interval 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°
\n" ); document.write( "satisfies the equation sqrt3 tan x + 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(3)tan(x) = -1
\n" ); document.write( "tan(x) = -1/sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Take the tan^-1 of both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = -30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "That angle is in the 4th Quadrant.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "For your problem the equivalent angle in the 2nd Quadrant
\n" ); document.write( "would be x = 180-30 = 150 degrees
