Question Number 118371 by MJS_new last updated on 17/Oct/20

old problem question 118120  tan tan x =tan 3x −tan 2x  let t=tan x  (1)     tan t =((t^5 +2t^3 +t)/(3t^4 −4t^2 +1))  for t≥0 we get (approximating)  t_0 =0  t_1 ≈1.28941477  t_2 ≈4.17629616  t_3 ≈7.49316173  t_4 ≈10.7303610  t_5 ≈13.9285293  ...  x=nπ+arctan t  let n=0 to stay in the first period  0≤t<+∞ ⇒ 0≤arctan t <(π/2)  ⇒ (1) has infinite solutions for 0≤x<(π/2)  graphically this is easy to see, plot these:  f_1 (t)=tan t  f_2 (t)=((t(t^4 +2t^2 +1))/(3t^4 −4t^2 +1))=(t/3)+((2t(5t^2 +1))/(3(3t^4 −4t^2 +1)))  ⇒ g(t)=(1/3)t is asymptote of f_1 (t)  and obviously tan t =at with a∈R has  infinite solutions

Agree. There were mistakes in  my previous calculation.
