How to solve a trigonometric equation using cofunction identities

The video tutorial covers transformations of the cotangent function, emphasizing its similarity to tangent. It explains the unit circle's role in determining tangent values, particularly focusing on angles with negative tangent values. The tutorial derives general solutions for tangent equations using periodicity and identifies specific solutions within the range of 0 to 2π.
