sec^2(x)-2tan^2(x)=0

Solution

sec^{2} (x) - 2 tan^{2} (x) = 0

Solution

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

Degrees

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

Solution steps

sec^{2} (x) - 2 tan^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

sec^{2} (x) - 2 tan^{2} (x) : (sec (x) + 2 tan (x)) (sec (x) - 2 tan (x))

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

Rewrite

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

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

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

Apply radical rule:

a = (a)^{2}

2 = (2)^{2}

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

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

(2)^{2} tan^{2} (x) = (2 tan (x))^{2}

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

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

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

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

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

= (sec (x) + 2 tan (x)) (sec (x) - 2 tan (x))

(sec (x) + 2 tan (x)) (sec (x) - 2 tan (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

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

sec (x) + 2 tan (x) = 0 : x = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

sec (x) + 2 tan (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

sec (x) + 2 tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 tan (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

tan (x) = \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Simplify

\frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} : \frac{1 + 2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Multiply

= \frac{sin ( x ) 2}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + \frac{2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 + 2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{1 + 2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{1 + sin ( x ) 2}{cos ( x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0
