a) \(\sqrt 3 \tan 2x = - 1\;\; \Leftrightarrow \tan 2x = - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}\;\;\; \Leftrightarrow \tan 2x = \tan - \frac{\pi }{6}\; \Leftrightarrow 2x = - \frac{\pi }{6} + k\pi \)
\(\;\; \Leftrightarrow x = - \frac{\pi }{{12}} + \frac{{k\pi }}{2}\;\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)\)
b) \(\tan 3x + \tan 5x = 0\;\; \Leftrightarrow \tan 3x = \tan \left( { - 5x} \right) \Leftrightarrow 3x = - 5x + k\pi \;\; \Leftrightarrow 8x = k\pi \;\; \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{k\pi }}{8}\;\left( {k \in \mathbb{Z}} \right)\)
