sec^2(x)-1=0,0<= x<= 2pi

Solution

sec^{2} (x) - 1 = 0, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solution

x = 0, x = 2 π, x = π

Degrees

x = 0^{\circ}, x = 36 0^{\circ}, x = 18 0^{\circ}

Solution steps

sec^{2} (x) - 1 = 0, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

Solve by substitution

sec^{2} (x) - 1 = 0

Let:

sec (x) = u

u^{2} - 1 = 0

u^{2} - 1 = 0 : u = 1, u = - 1

u^{2} - 1 = 0

Move

1

to the right side

u^{2} - 1 = 0

Add

1

to both sides

u^{2} - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

u^{2} = 1

u^{2} = 1

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = 1, u = - 1

1 = 1

1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

- 1 = - 1

- 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= - 1

u = 1, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

sec (x) = 1, sec (x) = - 1

sec (x) = 1, sec (x) = - 1

sec (x) = 1, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π : x = 0, x = 2 π

sec (x) = 1, 0 \leq x \leq 2 π

x = 0 + 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

Solve

x = 0 + 2 πn : x = 2 πn

x = 0 + 2 πn

0 + 2 πn = 2 πn

x = 2 πn

x = 2 πn
