SOLUTION: Hi, I'm confused on how to approach this problem. It says to solve on the interval 0 <= theta < 2pi. Question: cotangent(2theta/3) = -square root 3 Thanks!

Question 1020360: Hi, I'm confused on how to approach this problem.
It says to solve on the interval 0 <= theta < 2pi.
Question:
cotangent(2theta/3) = -square root 3
Thanks!

Where is the cotangent negative?
1st quadrant:
+/+ = +
2nd qudrant:
-/+ = -
3rd quadrant:
-/- = +
4th qudrant:
+/- = -
---------------
So it can be in the
2nd or 4th qudrant
-----------------

I can say:

----------------------------
I know that so

-------------------------------

and

--------------------------
Hope I got it!
