Expert Solution
Step 1

We know cotx=0 at x=(2n+1)π/2 , n is an integer

So the graph of y=cotx touches the x axis at the points π/2, 3π/2,... and so on.

Then cot(2x+π)=0 implies 2x+π=(2n+1)π/2

Or x= (2n+1)π/2 - π = nπ- π/2, n is an integer.

So the curve y= cot(2x+π) touches the x axis at 

x= -π/2, π/2, 3π/2... and so on.
