$$\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = -1$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\tan{\left(\frac{x}{2} \right)} = -1$$
- this is the simplest trigonometric equation
This equation is transformed to
$$\frac{x}{2} = \pi n + \operatorname{atan}{\left(-1 \right)}$$
Or
$$\frac{x}{2} = \pi n - \frac{\pi}{4}$$
, where n - is a integer
Divide both parts of the equation by
$$\frac{1}{2}$$
we get the answer:
$$x_{1} = 2 \pi n - \frac{\pi}{2}$$
