.1 Trigonometric Equations and their solutions:
rigonometricequation:
Definition: An equation involving trigonometric function (or functions) is called
equation. trigonometrie

Ex.(4) Find the principal solutions of cot e -v3 =

Solution: We know that cot 0 = - v3 if and only if tan 0=--1

We know that tan
