sec(x)csc(x)=sqrt(2)sec(x)

sec (x) csc (x) = 2 sec (x)

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

Solution steps

sec (x) csc (x) = 2 sec (x)

Subtract

2 sec (x)

from both sides

sec (x) csc (x) - 2 sec (x) = 0

Factor

sec (x) csc (x) - 2 sec (x) : sec (x) (csc (x) - 2)

sec (x) (csc (x) - 2) = 0

Solving each part separately

sec (x) = 0 or csc (x) - 2 = 0

sec (x) = 0 :

No Solution

csc (x) - 2 = 0 : x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn

Combine all the solutions

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

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

(tan (θ) - 1) (cos (θ) - 1) = 0

cos (x) = \frac{16}{20}

cos (2 x) + 10 sin^{2} (x) = 7

cos (x) = - 3
