6sec^2(θ)tan(θ)=12tan(θ)

Solution

6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) = 12 tan (θ)

Solution

θ = πn, θ = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 0^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, θ = 13 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 22 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 4 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 31 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) = 12 tan (θ)

Subtract

12 tan (θ)

from both sides

6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - 12 tan (θ) = 0

Factor

6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - 12 tan (θ) : 6 tan (θ) (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2)

6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) - 12 tan (θ)

Rewrite

- 12

2 \cdot 6

= 6 sec^{2} (θ) tan (θ) + 2 \cdot 6 tan (θ)

Factor out common term

6 tan (θ)

= 6 tan (θ) (sec^{2} (θ) - 2)

Factor

sec^{2} (θ) - 2 : (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2)

sec^{2} (θ) - 2

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

= sec^{2} (θ) - (2)^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

sec^{2} (θ) - (2)^{2} = (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2)

= (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2)

= 6 tan (θ) (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2)

6 tan (θ) (sec (θ) + 2) (sec (θ) - 2) = 0

Solving each part separately

tan (θ) = 0 or sec (θ) + 2 = 0 or sec (θ) - 2 = 0

tan (θ) = 0 : θ = πn

tan (θ) = 0

sec (θ) + 2 = 0 : θ = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn

sec (θ) + 2 = 0

Move

to the right side

sec (θ) + 2 = 0

Subtract

2

from both sides

sec (θ) + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2

Simplify
