## Problem 10

The task is to find the smallest positive number \( x \) for which the equation \(\tan(3x) = 1\) holds true. Additionally, identify the next larger such number.

### Solution:

- Determine the smallest positive number \( x \) such that \(\tan(3x) = 1\).

- The next larger such number can be given as \( x \).

**Hint:** Apply an inverse trigonometric function and use the periodicity of the tangent function to find the solution.

### Explanation:

- **Inverse Trigonometric Function:** Find \( x \) by evaluating the inverse tangent function.
  
- **Periodicity:** Utilize the periodicity of the tangent function, \( \tan(\theta) = \tan(\theta + n\pi) \) for integer \( n \), to identify subsequent solutions.
