Solution

The correct option is C π4, 3π4
Given: tanx=1
We want to find the principal solution for the given equation.
Now, tanx>0 for x in 1st and 3rd quadrant given as:
x=θ & x=π+θ
We can find θ as the solution of the equation:
tanx=1x=π4
In 3rd quadrant, the angle is given as π+θ
tanx=1x=π+π4=5π4
Thus, the principal solution is given as:
x=π4 & x=5π4
