Beyond the Answer
To solve the equation \( 4 \tan \left(\theta - 30^{\circ}\right) = 1 \), you first isolate the tangent function by dividing both sides by 4, yielding \( \tan \left(\theta - 30^{\circ}\right) = \frac{1}{4} \). Next, you can find the angle whose tangent is \( \frac{1}{4} \) by using the arctangent function: \( \theta - 30^{\circ} = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) \). This gives you the principal solution, and remember that the tangent function has a period of \( 180^{\circ} \), so the general solutions will be \( \theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) + 30^{\circ} + n \cdot 180^{\circ} \) for any integer \( n \). This method works well, but don't forget to check for extraneous solutions in the original equation by plugging your values back in!
