sqrt(3)cot(x/3)+1=0

Solution

3 cot (\frac{x}{3}) + 1 = 0

Solution

x = 2 π + 3 πn

Degrees

x = 36 0^{\circ} + 54 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

3 cot (\frac{x}{3}) + 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

3 cot (\frac{x}{3}) + 1 = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

3 cot (\frac{x}{3}) + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

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

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

Divide both sides by

3

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

Divide both sides by

3

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

Simplify

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

Simplify

\frac{3 cot ( \frac{x}{3} )}{3} : cot (\frac{x}{3})

\frac{3 cot ( \frac{x}{3} )}{3}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= cot (\frac{x}{3})

Simplify

\frac{- 1}{3} : - \frac{3}{3}

\frac{- 1}{3}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{1}{3}

Rationalize

- \frac{1}{3} : - \frac{3}{3}

- \frac{1}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3 3}

1 \cdot 3 = 3

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= - \frac{3}{3}

= - \frac{3}{3}

cot (\frac{x}{3}) = - \frac{3}{3}

cot (\frac{x}{3}) = - \frac{3}{3}

cot (\frac{x}{3}) = - \frac{3}{3}

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

Solve

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn : x = 2 π + 3 πn

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{2 π}{3} + πn

Multiply both sides by

3

\frac{3 x}{3} = 3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 3 πn

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} = 3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 3 πn

Simplify

\frac{3 x}{3} : x

\frac{3 x}{3}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{3}{3} = 1

= x

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 3 πn : 2 π + 3 πn

3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} + 3 πn

3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3} = 2 π

3 \cdot \frac{2 π}{3}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{2 π 3}{3}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= 2 π

= 2 π + 3 πn

x = 2 π + 3 πn

x = 2 π + 3 πn

x = 2 π + 3 πn

x = 2 π + 3 πn
