2sec^2(2x)=3tan(2x)+1

Solution

2 sec^{2} (2 x) = 3 tan (2 x) + 1

Solution

x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}, x = \frac{0.46364 \dots}{2} + \frac{πn}{2}

Degrees

x = 22. 5^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n, x = 13.28252 \dots^{\circ} + 9 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sec^{2} (2 x) = 3 tan (2 x) + 1

Subtract

3 tan (2 x) + 1

from both sides

2 sec^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + 2 sec^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

= - 1 + 2 (tan^{2} (2 x) + 1) - 3 tan (2 x)

Simplify

- 1 + 2 (tan^{2} (2 x) + 1) - 3 tan (2 x) : 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) + 1

- 1 + 2 (tan^{2} (2 x) + 1) - 3 tan (2 x)

Expand

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

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

Apply the distributive law:

a (b + c) = ab + a c

a = 2, b = tan^{2} (2 x), c = 1

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

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

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

= - 1 + 2 tan^{2} (2 x) + 2 - 3 tan (2 x)

Simplify

- 1 + 2 tan^{2} (2 x) + 2 - 3 tan (2 x) : 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) + 1

- 1 + 2 tan^{2} (2 x) + 2 - 3 tan (2 x)

Group like terms

= 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) - 1 + 2

Add/Subtract the numbers:

- 1 + 2 = 1

= 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) + 1

= 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) + 1

= 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) + 1

1 + 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) = 0

Solve by substitution

1 + 2 tan^{2} (2 x) - 3 tan (2 x) = 0

Let:

tan (2 x) = u

1 + 2 u^{2} - 3 u = 0

1 + 2 u^{2} - 3 u = 0 : u = 1, u = \frac{1}{2}

1 + 2 u^{2} - 3 u = 0

Write in the standard form

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

2 u^{2} - 3 u + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

2 u^{2} - 3 u + 1 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = 2, b = - 3, c = 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm ( - 3 ) ^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 2}

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 1

(- 3)^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 3)^{2} = 3^{2}

= 3^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 = 8

= 3^{2} - 8

3^{2} = 9

= 9 - 8

Subtract the numbers:

9 - 8 = 1

= 1

Apply rule

1 = 1

= 1

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) \pm 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 2}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 2}

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 2} : 1

\frac{- ( - 3 ) + 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 + 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Add the numbers:

3 + 1 = 4

= \frac{4}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{4}{4}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

u = \frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 2} : \frac{1}{2}

\frac{- ( - 3 ) - 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{3 - 1}{2 \cdot 2}

Subtract the numbers:

3 - 1 = 2

= \frac{2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{2}

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = 1, u = \frac{1}{2}

Substitute back

u = tan (2 x)

tan (2 x) = 1, tan (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}

tan (2 x) = 1, tan (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}

tan (2 x) = 1 : x = \frac{π}{8} + \frac{πn}{2}

General solutions for
