In (0, 2pi), x =pi/6, 5pi/6, 7pi/6 and 11pi/6(0,2π),x=π6,5π6,7π6and11π6

Explanation:

Here, tan^2 x=1/3tan2x=13. So,

tanx =+-1/sqrt3tanx=±13.

The principal values for x are +-pi/6±π6 and the genera values are

npi+-pi/6, n =0, +-1, +-2, +-3, ...

=+-pi/6, +-5pi/6, +-7pi/6 ...

In (0, 2pi), x =pi/6, 5pi/6, 7pi/6 and 11pi/6.
