We have to find least positive integer interval in which the solution of tanx+tanhx=0 lies.
Let f(x)=tan(x)+tanh(x) .
Now, f(1)=tan(1)+tanh(1)=2.319>0 ,
f(2)=tan(2)+tanh(2)=−1.221<0 ,
and f(3)=tan(3)+tanh(3)=0.8525>0 .
We known that tanh(x)∈(−1,1) for all values of x .
Also, tan(x) has infinite discontinuity at x=2π=1.57,23π=4.71,... .
Hence, least positive integer interval in which the solution of tanx+tanhx=0 lies is (2,3) .
