1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

I have one trigonometry circular, like on this picture.

On the picture there are pi/2 and -pi/2.

Also I have another picture with inequality which I need to solve.

2. Relevant equations

3. The attempt at a solution

$$\sqrt{3}tg(3x+\frac{\pi}{3})<3$$

$$tg(3x+\frac{pi}{3})<\sqrt{3}$$

I have another picture.

So the results for tg are:

$$\frac{\pi}{3}>3x+\frac{pi}{3}>\frac{-\pi}{2}$$

so the results for x are

$$0>\frac{-5\pi}{18}$$

The question is: will I get same if I use $$\frac{3\pi}{2}$$ instead of $$\frac{\-pi}{2}$$

Hi Physicsissuef!

what is x? is it an angle (if it isn't, how can you add it to π/2?)

what are the two horizontal lines supposed to be?

what are you being asked to solve?

x is angle. I asked why I don't get same when I use $$\frac{3\pi}{2}$$ instead of $$\frac{-\pi}{2}$$???
