6sec^2(x)+3tan^2(x)-9=0

Solution

6 sec^{2} (x) + 3 tan^{2} (x) - 9 = 0

Solution

x = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

6 sec^{2} (x) + 3 tan^{2} (x) - 9 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 9 + 3 tan^{2} (x) + 6 sec^{2} (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

tan^{2} (x) + 1 = sec^{2} (x)

tan^{2} (x) = sec^{2} (x) - 1

= - 9 + 3 (sec^{2} (x) - 1) + 6 sec^{2} (x)

Simplify

- 9 + 3 (sec^{2} (x) - 1) + 6 sec^{2} (x) : 9 sec^{2} (x) - 12

- 9 + 3 (sec^{2} (x) - 1) + 6 sec^{2} (x)

Expand

3 (sec^{2} (x) - 1) : 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3

3 (sec^{2} (x) - 1)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = 3, b = sec^{2} (x), c = 1

= 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 1 = 3

= 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3

= - 9 + 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3 + 6 sec^{2} (x)

Simplify

- 9 + 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3 + 6 sec^{2} (x) : 9 sec^{2} (x) - 12

- 9 + 3 sec^{2} (x) - 3 + 6 sec^{2} (x)

Group like terms

= 3 sec^{2} (x) + 6 sec^{2} (x) - 9 - 3

Add similar elements:

3 sec^{2} (x) + 6 sec^{2} (x) = 9 sec^{2} (x)

= 9 sec^{2} (x) - 9 - 3

Subtract the numbers:

- 9 - 3 = - 12

= 9 sec^{2} (x) - 12

= 9 sec^{2} (x) - 12

= 9 sec^{2} (x) - 12

- 12 + 9 sec^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 12 + 9 sec^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

sec (x) = u

- 12 + 9 u^{2} = 0

- 12 + 9 u^{2} = 0 : u = \frac{2 3}{3}, u = - \frac{2 3}{3}

- 12 + 9 u^{2} = 0

Move

12

to the right side

- 12 + 9 u^{2} = 0

Add

12

to both sides

- 12 + 9 u^{2} + 12 = 0 + 12

Simplify

9 u^{2} = 12

9 u^{2} = 12

Divide both sides by

9

9 u^{2} = 12

Divide both sides by

9

\frac{9 u ^{2}}{9} = \frac{12}{9}

Simplify

u^{2} = \frac{4}{3}

u^{2} = \frac{4}{3}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{4}{3}, u = - \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{2 3}{3}
