Given the inequality: cot(x−π)<21 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: cot(x−π)=21 Solve: Given the equation cot(x−π)=21 - this is the simplest trigonometric equation This equation is transformed to x=πn+acot(21) Or x=πn+acot(21) , where n - is a integer x1=πn+acot(21) x1=πn+acot(21) This roots x1=πn+acot(21) is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0<x1 For example, let's take the point x0=x1−101 = (πn+acot(21))−101 = πn−101+acot(21) substitute to the expression cot(x−π)<21 cot((πn−101+acot(21))−π)<21
