With the help of graph, find the  solution set of inequation tan x > −(√3) .

$$\mathrm{With}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{help}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{graph},\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{inequation}\:\mathrm{tan}\:{x}\:>\:−\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\:. \\ $$

x∈(nπ−(π/3), nπ+(π/2)) ∧ n∈Z

$$\mathrm{x}\in\left(\mathrm{n}\pi−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}},\:\mathrm{n}\pi+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\:\wedge\:\mathrm{n}\in\mathbb{Z} \\ $$

But answer is [nπ − (π/3) < x < nπ + (π/2)]  ∪ {nπ + ((2π)/3) < x < nπ + ((3π)/2)}  Your first set is correct but how to get  the 2^(nd)  set in union?

$$\mathrm{But}\:\mathrm{answer}\:\mathrm{is}\:\left[{n}\pi\:−\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:<\:{x}\:<\:{n}\pi\:+\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right] \\ $$ $$\cup\:\left\{{n}\pi\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:<\:{x}\:<\:{n}\pi\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right\} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{Your}\:\mathrm{first}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{correct}\:\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{how}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{get} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{nd}} \:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{union}? \\ $$

the second set is the same as the first.   {nπ + ((2π)/3) < x < nπ + ((3π)/2)}  ≡{(n+1)π−(π/3)<x<(n+1)π+(π/2)}  ≡{mπ−(π/3)<x<mπ+(π/2)}  since n ∈ Z, in set 1 is set 2 included.

$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{second}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{same}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{first}. \\ $$ $$\:\left\{{n}\pi\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{2}\pi}{\mathrm{3}}\:<\:{x}\:<\:{n}\pi\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{3}\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right\} \\ $$ $$\equiv\left\{\left(\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}<\mathrm{x}<\left(\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{1}\right)\pi+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right\} \\ $$ $$\equiv\left\{\mathrm{m}\pi−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{3}}<\mathrm{x}<\mathrm{m}\pi+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}\right\} \\ $$ $$\mathrm{since}\:\mathrm{n}\:\in\:\mathbb{Z},\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{1}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{set}\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{included}. \\ $$
