Show that tan((5π)/(12))  is a solution of this   equation: x^3 −3x^2 −3x+1=0
$$\mathrm{Show}\:\mathrm{that}\:\mathrm{tan}\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}\:\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{this}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{equation}:\:{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

x^3 +1=3x(x+1)  if  x≠−1  x^2 −x+1=3x  x^2 −4x+1=0  x=2±(√3)  tan ((5π)/(12))=tan 75° =tan (30°+45°)  =(((1/( (√3)))+1)/(1−(1/( (√3))))) = ((1+(√3))/( (√3)−1)) = ((4+2(√3))/2)=2+(√3) .
$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{3}{x}\left({x}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$${if}\:\:{x}\neq−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{3}{x} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{2}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\frac{\mathrm{5}\pi}{\mathrm{12}}=\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{75}°\:=\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\mathrm{30}°+\mathrm{45}°\right) \\ $$$$=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:. \\ $$
