find the smallest non negative value for x in degrees that makes the equation cot (x) = √3 true.

Answer :

Given:

cot (x) = √3

To find the smallest non-negative value for x in degrees:

So, we get

[tex]\begin{gathered} \cot x=\sqrt{3} \\ \cot x=\cot (30^{\circ}) \\ x=30^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the answer is,

[tex]x=30^{\circ}[/tex]
