Solution
To solve the equation on the interval , let's proceed as follows:
-
Rewrite the Equation: The equation simplifies to .
-
Solve for Using Cotangent Values: The cotangent function equals 1 at specific angles within a period. We know: This means:
-
Solve for : Divide both sides by 3 to isolate :
-
Find All Solutions in : Now we calculate specific values of by substituting integer values of to ensure is within .
- For :
- For :
- For :
- For :
- For :
- For :
All these values are in the interval .
-
Answer: Thus, the solutions are:
So, the correct choice is A: .
