tan(2x)+sec(2x)=11

Solution

tan (2 x) + sec (2 x) = 11

Solution

x = \frac{1.38947 \dots}{2} + πn

Degrees

x = 39.80557 \dots^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (2 x) + sec (2 x) = 11

Subtract

11

from both sides

tan (2 x) + sec (2 x) - 11 = 0

Express with sin, cos

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} + \frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} - 11 = 0

Simplify

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} + \frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} - 11 : \frac{sin ( 2 x ) + 1 - 11 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

\frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} + \frac{1}{cos ( 2 x )} - 11

Combine the fractions

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

Apply rule

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

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

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) + 1}{cos ( 2 x )} - 11

Convert element to fraction:

11 = \frac{11 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) + 1}{cos ( 2 x )} - \frac{11 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) + 1 - 11 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )}

\frac{sin ( 2 x ) + 1 - 11 cos ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} = 0

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

sin (2 x) + 1 - 11 cos (2 x) = 0

Add

11 cos (2 x)

to both sides

sin (2 x) + 1 = 11 cos (2 x)

Square both sides

(sin (2 x) + 1)^{2} = (11 cos (2 x))^{2}

Subtract

(11 cos (2 x))^{2}

from both sides

(sin (2 x) + 1)^{2} - 121 cos^{2} (2 x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 121 cos^{2} (2 x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= (1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Simplify

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) : 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) - 120

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} - 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

(1 + sin (2 x))^{2} : 1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x)

Apply Perfect Square Formula:

(a + b)^{2} = a^{2} + 2 ab + b^{2}

a = 1, b = sin (2 x)

= 1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x)

Simplify

1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) : 1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x)

1^{2} + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x)

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

1^{2} = 1

= 1 + 2 \cdot 1 \cdot sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x)

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

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

= 1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) - 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Expand

- 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x)) : - 121 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x)

- 121 (1 - sin^{2} (2 x))

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

a = - 121, b = 1, c = sin^{2} (2 x)

= - 121 \cdot 1 - (- 121) sin^{2} (2 x)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a

= - 121 \cdot 1 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x)

Multiply the numbers:

121 \cdot 1 = 121

= - 121 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x)

= 1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) - 121 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x)

Simplify

1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) - 121 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x) : 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) - 120

1 + 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) - 121 + 121 sin^{2} (2 x)

Group like terms

= 2 sin (2 x) + sin^{2} (2 x) + 121 sin^{2} (2 x) + 1 - 121

Add similar elements:

sin^{2} (2 x) + 121 sin^{2} (2 x) = 122 sin^{2} (2 x)

= 2 sin (2 x) + 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 1 - 121

Add/Subtract the numbers:

1 - 121 = - 120

= 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) - 120

= 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) - 120

= 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) - 120

- 120 + 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Solve by substitution

- 120 + 122 sin^{2} (2 x) + 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Let:

sin (2 x) = u

- 120 + 122 u^{2} + 2 u = 0

- 120 + 122 u^{2} + 2 u = 0 : u = \frac{60}{61}, u = - 1

- 120 + 122 u^{2} + 2 u = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

122 u^{2} + 2 u - 120 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

122 u^{2} + 2 u - 120 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 122, b = 2, c = - 120

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 122 ( - 120 )}{2 \cdot 122}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 ^{2} - 4 \cdot 122 ( - 120 )}{2 \cdot 122}

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 122 (- 120) = 242

2^{2} - 4 \cdot 122 (- 120)

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= 2^{2} + 4 \cdot 122 \cdot 120

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 122 \cdot 120 = 58560

= 2^{2} + 58560

2^{2} = 4

= 4 + 58560

Add the numbers:

4 + 58560 = 58564

= 58564

Factor the number:

58564 = 24 2^{2}

= 24 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

24 2^{2} = 242

= 242

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- 2 \pm 242}{2 \cdot 122}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- 2 + 242}{2 \cdot 122}, u_{2} = \frac{- 2 - 242}{2 \cdot 122}

u = \frac{- 2 + 242}{2 \cdot 122} : \frac{60}{61}

\frac{- 2 + 242}{2 \cdot 122}

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 2 + 242 = 240

= \frac{240}{2 \cdot 122}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 122 = 244

= \frac{240}{244}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{60}{61}

u = \frac{- 2 - 242}{2 \cdot 122} : - 1

\frac{- 2 - 242}{2 \cdot 122}

Subtract the numbers:

- 2 - 242 = - 244

= \frac{- 244}{2 \cdot 122}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 122 = 244

= \frac{- 244}{244}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{244}{244}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= - 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = \frac{60}{61}, u = - 1

Substitute back

u = sin (2 x)

sin (2 x) = \frac{60}{61}, sin (2 x) = - 1

sin (2 x) = \frac{60}{61}, sin (2 x) = - 1

sin (2 x) = \frac{60}{61} : x = \frac{arcsin ( \frac{60}{61} )}{2} + πn, x = \frac{π}{2} - \frac{arcsin ( \frac{60}{61} )}{2} + πn
