    Tan^2 x + 5tan x + 3 = 0

    Let tan x = m, then

    m^2 + 5m + 3 = 0

    m^2 + 5m + 25/4 = - 3 + 25/4 = 13/4

    (m + 5/2) ^2 = 13/4

    m + 5/2 = + or - sqrt (13) / 2

    m = (√13 - 5) / 2 or (-√13 - 5) / 2

    tan x = (√13 - 5) / 2 or (-√13 - 5) / 2

    x = arctan ((√13 - 5) / 2) or arctan ((-√13 - 5) / 2)

    x = 103.0837, 145.1149, 283.0837, 325.1149
