Once the constant term sin⁡−1(tan⁡(π/4))\sin^{-1}(\tan(\pi/4)) is evaluated, the equation isolates 3/x\sqrt{3/x} as a single sine value; squaring both sides gives x=4x=4, and we identify which quadratic has 44 as a root.

Step 1. Evaluate the constant term. tan⁡π4=1\tan\dfrac{\pi}4=1, so sin⁡−1(tan⁡π4)=sin⁡−1(1)=π2\sin^{-1}\left(\tan\dfrac{\pi}4\right)=\sin^{-1}(1)=\dfrac{\pi}2.

Step 2. Isolate the unknown term. π2−sin⁡−13x=π6⇒sin⁡−13x=π2−π6=π3\dfrac{\pi}2-\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\dfrac3x}=\dfrac{\pi}6\Rightarrow\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\dfrac3x}=\dfrac{\pi}2-\dfrac{\pi}6=\dfrac{\pi}3.

Step 3. Undo the sin⁡−1\sin^{-1}. 3x=sin⁡π3=32\sqrt{\dfrac3x}=\sin\dfrac{\pi}3=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2. …
