AI Thread Summary
The equation $\tan^2x + \tan^2{2x} + \cot^2{3x} = 1$ has been discussed, with participants concluding that it has no solution. The use of graphing tools like Desmos was mentioned, but the focus remained on proving the lack of solutions analytically. The discussion highlighted the behavior of $\cot^2(3x)$, particularly at specific points like $3\pi$, where it approaches infinity. Overall, the consensus is that the equation does not yield any valid solutions in the real number set. The exploration of this trigonometric equation emphasizes the complexity and nuances of solving such expressions.

But without desmos etc.
 
Beer induced reaction follows.

Wouldst thou still attempt to solve it given that you've already had a glimpse that it doesn't have a solution or do you just want to show that it doesn't have a solution?
 
Show that it doesn't have a solution.
 
isnt it $cot^2(3\pi)=\infty$
