Answer: x = ((nπ)/3) , nπ ± tan^(−1) (1/( (√2))) where n = 0, ± 1, ± 2 This is given exactly in my book.
$$\mathrm{Answer}:\:{x}\:=\:\frac{{n}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:,\:{n}\pi\:\pm\:\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{where}\:{n}\:=\:\mathrm{0},\:\pm\:\mathrm{1},\:\pm\:\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{This}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{given}\:\mathrm{exactly}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{my}\:\mathrm{book}. \\ $$

what about x=nπ.
$${what}\:{about}\:{x}={n}\pi. \\ $$

No. x = nπ is not given. What is given I have written exactly.
$$\mathrm{No}.\:{x}\:=\:{n}\pi\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{given}.\:\mathrm{What}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{given} \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{written}\:\mathrm{exactly}. \\ $$

x=nπ is definitively a solution. This can be easily checked.

let tan x=t t+((2t)/(1−t^2 ))+((t(3−t^2 ))/(1−3t^2 ))=0 ⇒ t^2 ≠1, 3 now, factorising to get, t[1+(2/(1−t^2 ))+((3−t^2 )/(1−3t^2 ))]=0 t[((3−t^2 )/(1−t^2 ))+((3−t^2 )/(1−3t^2 ))]=0 t(3−t^2 )[((2−4t^2 )/((1−t^2 )(1−3t^2 )))]=0 ⇒ t=tan x=0 , ±(√3) , ±(1/( (√2))) x=n𝛑, n𝛑±(𝛑/3), n𝛑±tan^(−1) (1/( (√2))) .
