Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2π).
9 tan ^3 x = 3 tan x
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9%2Atan%5E3%28x%29 = 3%2Atan%28x%29  --->  

9%2Atan%5E3%28x%29+-+3%2Atan%28x%29 = 0  --->  Factor the left side

3%2Atan%28x%29%2A%283%2Atan%5E2%28x%29-1%29 = 0


This equation deploys in two independent equations


1.  tan(x) = 0  with the solutions  x = 0 and x = pi in the given interval.


2.  3*tan^2(x) - 1 = 0   <---->  tan%5E2%28x%29 = 1%2F3  ---->  tan(x) = +/-sqrt%283%29%2F3,  which has four solutions in the given interval

    x = pi%2F6,  x = 5pi%2F6,  x = 7pi%2F6  and  x = 11pi%2F6.


Answer.  The given equation has 6 solutions in the given interval:

         x = 0, x = x = pi%2F6,  x = 5pi%2F6%7D%7D%2C++x+=+%7B%7B%7Bpi,  x = 7pi%2F6  and  x = 11pi%2F6.
