Find all solutions to the equation. Use a lower-case n to denote an arbitrary integer; separate your answers with commas; use the most compact expressions possible.
-sqrt(3)tan(3x) = -1
------------------
It's just a matter of working it out.
-sqrt(3)tan(3x) = -1
tan(3x) = 1/sqrt(3)
3x = n*180 + 30º
x = n*60 + 10º (in degrees)
---------------
x = n*pi/3 + pi/18 radians
x = pi*(6n+1)/18 radians
n = 0,1,2,3...
