Solve cot θ + tan θ = 2 for all positive angles less than 360°.
Give answers in increasing order. All values should be in degrees.
---------------
(1/tan)+tan = 2
------
(1+tan^2)/tan = 2
------
tan^2 -2tan + 1 = 0
---------
(tan-1)^2 = 0
---
tan(t) = 1
-----
t = 45 +-360 degrees or t = 235+-360 degrees
