To solve the equation
[3 \cot(x) - \sqrt{3} \cot(x) \tan(x) = 0]
we can start by factoring out (\cot(x)):
[\cot(x) (3 - \sqrt{3} \tan(x)) = 0]
This gives us two separate equations to solve:
The cotangent function is zero when the tangent function is undefined. This occurs at:
[x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \quad \text{for integers } k]
Rearranging gives us:
[\sqrt{3} \tan(x) = 3 \implies \tan(x) = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{3}]
The tangent function equals (\sqrt{3}) at:
[x = \frac{\pi}{3} + n\pi \quad \text{for integers } n]
Combining results, we have the complete set of solutions:
From (\cot(x) = 0):[x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \quad (k \in \mathbb{Z})]
From (3 - \sqrt{3} \tan(x) = 0):[x = \frac{\pi}{3} + n\pi \quad (n \in \mathbb{Z})]
Thus, the solutions to the original equation are:
[x = \frac{\pi}{2} + k\pi \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{\pi}{3} + n\pi \quad \text{for integers } k, n.]
