The above implies that
-720° ≤ 4x ≤ 0° ==> this is needed for the angle 4x later
-540° ≤ 3x ≤ 0°
-570° ≤ 3x - 30° ≤ -30° ==> this is needed for the angle 3x - 30° later
-----------------------------------------------------
cot 4x sin (3x - 30°) = 0
This means that
cot 4x = 0 or sin (3x - 30°) = 0
-----------------------------------------------------
For cot 4x = 0,
1 / tan 4x = 0
tan 4x = infinity
This occurs at the points where the tangent graphs are undefined (90, 270, 450, 630, ... and -90, -270, -450, -630, ...)
We need our 4x to lie between -720° and 0° as explained above, so
4x = -630°, -450°, -270°, -90°
x = -157.5°, -112.5°, -67.5°, -22.5°
-----------------------------------------------------
For sin (3x - 30°) = 0 (bear in mind that we need our angle 3x - 30° to lie between and including -570° and -30°)...
3x - 30° = -540°, -360°, -180° (these start from 0 in the base case and always increase or decrease in increments of 180°)
3x = -510°, -330°, -150°
x = -170°, -110°, -50°
-----------------------------------------------------
Putting them together,
x = -170°, -157.5°, -112.5°, -110°, -67.5°, -50°, -22.5°
