The following equation involves multiple angles. Solve the equation on the interval [0, 2pi). Tan x/3 = root3 Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
Solution
tan(x/3) = sqrt(3)
x/3 = tan^-1(sqrt3)
= pi/3
x = pi
other solution : x/3 = pi+pi/3 = 4pi/3
gives x= 4pi which is out of the interval given [0, 2pi)
So, A : x= pi
