Solution

3 cot^{2} (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = 1

Solution

x = \frac{πn}{2} + \frac{11 π}{12}, x = \frac{πn}{2} + \frac{13 π}{12}

Degrees

x = 16 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 19 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 cot^{2} (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = 1

Solve by substitution

3 cot^{2} (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = 1

Let:

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = u

3 u^{2} = 1

3 u^{2} = 1 : u = \frac{1}{3}, u = - \frac{1}{3}

3 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

3

3 u^{2} = 1

Divide both sides by

3

\frac{3 u ^{2}}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

u^{2} = \frac{1}{3}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{1}{3}, u = - \frac{1}{3}

Substitute back

u = cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2})

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3}, cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = - \frac{1}{3}

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3}, cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = - \frac{1}{3}

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3} : x = \frac{πn}{2} + \frac{11 π}{12}

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3}

Apply trig inverse properties

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3}

General solutions for

cot (2 x - \frac{3 π}{2}) = \frac{1}{3}

cot (x) = a \Rightarrow x = arccot (a) + πn

2 x - \frac{3 π}{2} = arccot (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

2 x - \frac{3 π}{2} = arccot (\frac{1}{3}) + πn

Solve

2 x - \frac{3 π}{2} = arccot (\frac{1}{3}) + πn : x = \frac{πn}{2} + \frac{11 π}{12}
