I know i can't make it equal to zero but yeah...

Do you mean:

[tex](1-tan^2(x)) * tan(2x) = \frac{2}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}[/tex]

And
[tex]2/(2/root 3)= \frac{2}{\frac{2}{\sqrt 2}}= 2[/tex]

I believe this is incorrect... shouldn't it be the square root of 3, and not of 2?

And even then... it would be equal to [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] and not 2. Double brain fart :-p
