x=π3 or x=2π3

Explanation:

tan(x)3=0
XXXtan(x)=3

In Quadrant I, this is one of the standard triangles:

Using the CAST notation for the Quadrants, a reference angle in Quadrant III will have the same tan(x) value i.e. (π+π3) will have the same value.

x=π3+kπ

Explanation:

tanx=3
Trig table and unit circle give 2 solutions:
x=π3 and x=π3+π=4π3
General answer:
x=π3+kπ
Inside the interval (π,π2), the answer is 4π3
Inside the interval (π2,π2), the answer is (π3)
No answer in the interval (π2,π)
