Principal solutions of the equation sin 2x + cos 2x = 0, where π < x < 2π are

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

π<x<2π2π<2x<4πsin2x+cos2x=0sin2x=-cos2xsin2xcos2x=-1tan2x=-1tanx is negative in second and fourth quadrant. Alsotan3π4=tan7π4=tan11π4=tan15π4=...=-1But 2π<2x<4π2x=11π4 or 2x=15π4x=11π8 or x=15π8
