Answer

$x=\{\frac{\pi}{3},\pi,\frac{5\pi}{3}\}$

Work Step by Step

$sex(3x)=-1$ $\frac{1}{cos(3x)}=-1$ $cos(3x)=-1$ $3x=cos^{-1}(-1)$ The period of the cosine function is $2\pi$ $3x=\pi\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;3x=2\pi+ \pi\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;3x=4\pi +\pi\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\; $ $x=\frac{\pi}{3}\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;x=\pi\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;\;x=\frac{5\pi}{3}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;$ $x=\{\frac{\pi}{3},\pi,\frac{5\pi}{3}\}$
