tan(θ)+sec(θ)=1

Solution

tan (θ) + sec (θ) = 1

Solution

θ = 2 πn + 2 π

Degrees

θ = 36 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan (θ) + sec (θ) = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

tan (θ) + sec (θ) - 1 = 0

Express with sin, cos

- 1 + sec (θ) + tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} + tan (θ)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - 1 + \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} + \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Simplify

- 1 + \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} + \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} : \frac{- cos ( θ ) + 1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

- 1 + \frac{1}{cos ( θ )} + \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Combine the fractions

\frac{1}{cos ( θ )} + \frac{sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} : \frac{1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

= - 1 + \frac{sin ( θ ) + 1}{cos ( θ )}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 cos ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

= - \frac{1 \cdot cos ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} + \frac{1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{- 1 \cdot cos ( θ ) + 1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

Multiply:

1 \cdot cos (θ) = cos (θ)

= \frac{- cos ( θ ) + 1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

= \frac{- cos ( θ ) + 1 + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )}

\frac{1 - cos ( θ ) + sin ( θ )}{cos ( θ )} = 0

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

1 - cos (θ) + sin (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - cos (θ) + sin (θ)

sin (θ) - cos (θ) = 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4})

sin (θ) - cos (θ)

Rewrite as

= 2 (\frac{1}{2} sin (θ) - \frac{1}{2} cos (θ))

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2}

= 2 (cos (\frac{π}{4}) sin (θ) - sin (\frac{π}{4}) cos (θ))

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4})

= 1 + 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4})

1 + 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

1 + 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = 0

Subtract

1

from both sides

1 + 2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) - 1 = 0 - 1

Simplify

2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( θ - \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( θ - \frac{π}{4} )}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 sin ( θ - \frac{π}{4} )}{2} : sin (θ - \frac{π}{4})

\frac{2 sin ( θ - \frac{π}{4} )}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= sin (θ - \frac{π}{4})

Simplify

\frac{- 1}{2} : - \frac{2}{2}

\frac{- 1}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= - \frac{1}{2}

Rationalize

- \frac{1}{2} : - \frac{2}{2}

- \frac{1}{2}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{2}{2}

= - \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 2}

1 \cdot 2 = 2

22 = 2

22

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

22 = 2

= 2

= - \frac{2}{2}

= - \frac{2}{2}

sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - \frac{2}{2}

sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - \frac{2}{2}

sin (θ - \frac{π}{4}) = - \frac{2}{2}
