Answer:

(0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

Explanation:

Multiplying by 2 gives ...

cot(x) ≥ 1

The cotangent function decreases from ∞ to 1 in the domain (0, π/4], and again in the domain (π, 5π/4]. The solution is the union of these two intervals.

x ∈ (0, π/4] ∪ (π, 5π/4]

_____

(a, b] is interval notation for a < x ≤ b
