Question 44 • Precalculus

Which is an x -intercept of the graph of the function y is equal to cotangent of 3 x ?

Answer
A
open paren pi over 6 comma 0 close paren
B
open paren 6 pi comma 0 close paren
C
open paren 3 pi comma 0 close paren
D
open paren pi over 3 comma 0 close paren

Explanation

An x-intercept occurs where y = 0, so we need cot(3x) = 0. Cotangent is zero when its angle is π/2 plus an integer multiple of π; taking 3x = π/2 gives x = π/6. Therefore, (π/6, 0), choice A, is an x-intercept.
