Solution Steps

Step 1: Isolate the Trigonometric Function

We start with the equation: 2cotx+1=1 2 \cot x + 1 = -1 Rearranging gives: 2cotx=2 2 \cot x = -2 Thus, we have: cotx=1 \cot x = -1

Step 2: Convert to Tangent

Using the identity cotx=1tanx\cot x = \frac{1}{\tan x}, we can rewrite the equation as: 1tanx=1 \frac{1}{\tan x} = -1 This leads to: tanx=1 \tan x = -1

Step 3: Find Solutions in the Interval

The solutions to tanx=1\tan x = -1 occur at: x=3π4andx=7π4 x = \frac{3\pi}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{7\pi}{4} These angles are within the interval [0,2π)[0, 2\pi).

Final Answer

The solution set is: {3π4,7π4} \boxed{\left\{ \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4} \right\}}
