Solve the equations for solutions over the interval [0,360 degree) Question:
18 tan x -6 cot x=0
6(3tan(x)-cot(x))=0
3tan%28x%29-cot%28x%29=0
3tan%28x%29-1%2Ftan%28x%29=0
3tan%5E2%28x%29-1=0
tan%5E2%28x%29=1%2F3
take sqrt of both sides
tan%28x%29=1%2Fsqrt%283%29
x=30º or 210º (in Q1 and Q3 where tan>0)
