1/(cos(x))=2

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

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

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

cos (x)

1 = 2 cos (x)

Switch sides

2 cos (x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

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

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

cos (x) = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

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

General solutions for

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

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

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

tan (θ) + 1 = 2

3 sec (θ) + 1 = 7

sin^{2} (x) = cos (x) + 1

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