the answer
#x=2.2143#

#2 cot x = -3/2#

we will hit the two side by #1/2#

#cotx=-3/4#

cotx is negative in second and forth quadrants

we will take #cot^-1# to both side , we will get

#x=cot^-1(-3/4)#

#cot^-1# is negative in the second quadrant

so the most common quadrant is the second quadrant

#x=2.2143#
