The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \tan(3x) + \cot(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = 0 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation We start with the equation: \[ \tan(3x) + \cot(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \tan(3x) = -\cot(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) \] ### Step 2: Use the cotangent identity Recall that \( \cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)} \). Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \tan(3x) = -\frac{1}{\tan(2x + \frac{\pi}{3})} \] This implies: \[ \tan(3x) \tan(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = -1 \] ### Step 3: Use the tangent addition formula Using the tangent addition formula, we have: \[ \tan(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\tan(2x) + \tan(\frac{\pi}{3})}{1 - \tan(2x)\tan(\frac{\pi}{3})} \] Since \( \tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \sqrt{3} \), we can substitute this into our equation: \[ \tan(3x) \left( \frac{\tan(2x) + \sqrt{3}}{1 - \tan(2x)\sqrt{3}} \right) = -1 \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ \tan(3x)(\tan(2x) + \sqrt{3}) = - (1 - \tan(2x)\sqrt{3}) \] ### Step 5: Solve for angles We can simplify and solve for the angles. However, we can also use the property of tangent functions. Since \( \tan(A) = \tan(B) \) implies \( A = B + n\pi \) for any integer \( n \), we can equate: \[ 3x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + 2x + n\pi \] ### Step 6: Isolate \( x \) Rearranging gives: \[ 3x - 2x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + n\pi \] \[ x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + n\pi \] ### Step 7: General solution Thus, the general solution for the equation is: \[ x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \] ### Final Answer The general solution of the equation \( \tan(3x) + \cot(2x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = 0 \) is: \[ x = \frac{5\pi}{6} + n\pi, \quad n \in \mathbb{Z} \]
