Consider the equation 3−cot2x=0 . Find all the values of x in the interval [0,2π] that satisfy the equation.
Note: Write the exact answer but not the approximate value (For example write 4/5 but not 0.8). Also write Pi or pi or π if there is a π in the answer.
- Write the value of x in the interval [π,3π/2] that satisfy the equation.
- Write the value of x in the interval [3π/2,2π] that satisfy the equation.

Hello Kal,
Solve for x:
3 - cot2x = 0
cot2x = 3
√cot2x = +/-√3
cotx = +/-√3
cosx/sinx = +/-√3
On the unit circle,
cos π/6 / sin π/6 = √3/2 / 1/2
cos 5π/6 / sin 5π/6 = -√3/2 / 1/2
cos 7π/6 / sin 7π/6 = -√3/2 / -1/2
cos 11π/6 / sin 11π/6 = √3/2 / -1/2
x = π/6, 5π/6, 7π/6, 11π/6, in the interval [0,2π]
x = 7π/6 in the interval [π,3π/2]
x = 11π/6 in the interval [3π/2,2π]

I am going to give you a hint: 1. First you must memorize the sines and cosines of the following angles in degrees: 0, 30, 45, 60 and 90. 2. You must remember that cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x). 3. Square the above formula and find which angle satisfies the given relation.09/27/21
