Solution

Given: 3x = csc θ and 3/x = cot θ. We need to find 3(x² - 1/x²).

Recall the identity: csc²θ - cot²θ = 1.

Substitute the given expressions: (3x)² - (3/x)² = 1.

This simplifies to: 9x² - 9/x² = 1.

Divide both sides by 3: 3x² - 3/x² = 1/3.

Which is exactly: 3(x² - 1/x²) = 1/3.

Final answer: 13
