Solve[-x + Tan[y] == 0, y, Reals]
fails, but
Solve[-x + Cos[y] == 0, y, Reals]
Solve[-x + Sin[y] == 0, y, Reals]
Solve[-x + Cot[y] == 0, y, Reals]
works.
How to make it work with Tan
?
Weirdly, but Solve[-x + Tan[y] == 0, y]
works, as well as Solve[-x + Cot[y] == 0, y]
.
But Solve[-x + Cot[y] == 0, y]
gives slightly different answer than Solve[-x + Cot[y] == 0, y, Reals]
.
