y = 3 tan (2 x - 1)

$y = 3 \tan (2 x - 1)$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

3 tan (2 x - 1) = y

$3 \tan (2 x - 1) = y$ .

3 tan (2 x - 1) = y

$3 \tan (2 x - 1) = y$

Step 2

Divide each term in

3 tan (2 x - 1) = y

$3 \tan (2 x - 1) = y$ by

Step 2.1

Divide each term in

3 tan (2 x - 1) = y

$3 \tan (2 x - 1) = y$ by

3

$3$ .

\frac{3 tan (2 x - 1)}{3} = \frac{y}{3}

$\frac{3 \tan (2 x - 1)}{3} = \frac{y}{3}$

Step 2.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 \tan (2 x - 1)}{3} = \frac{y}{3}$

Step 2.2.1.2

Divide

$\tan (2 x - 1)$ by

$1$ .

$\tan (2 x - 1) = \frac{y}{3}$

Step 3

Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation to extract

$x$ from inside the tangent.

$2 x - 1 = \arctan (\frac{y}{3})$

Step 4

Add

$1$ to both sides of the equation.

$2 x = \arctan (\frac{y}{3}) + 1$

Step 5

Divide each term in

$2 x = \arctan (\frac{y}{3}) + 1$ by

$2$ and simplify.
