Answer:
{5π/6, 11π/6}
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you have memorized the trig values of common angles, you know tan(π/6) = 1/√3, so cot(π/6) = √3.
The solution to this equation is ...
cot(θ) = -√3
so θ = -π/6 or, in the domain of interest, 11π/6. There is a corresponding quadrant II angle, 5π/6.
