Answer

$x=\frac{\pi}{3}+2n\pi$ and $x=\frac{2\pi}{3}+2n\pi$ Where n is an integer.

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt 3~csc~x-2=0$ $\sqrt 3~csc~x=2$ $csc~x=\frac{2}{\sqrt 3}$ $csc~x=\frac{2}{\sqrt 3}·\frac{\sqrt 3}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{2\sqrt 3}{3}$ The period of $csc~x$ is $2\pi$. The solutions in the interval: $[0,2\pi)$ are: $x=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and $x=\frac{2\pi}{3}$ Now, add multiples of $2\pi$ to each of the solutions: $x=\frac{\pi}{3}+2n\pi$ and $x=\frac{2\pi}{3}+2n\pi$
