tan^2(x)+5=3sec^2(x)

Solution

tan^{2} (x) + 5 = 3 sec^{2} (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{3 π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{4} + 2 πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 31 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 13 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 22 5^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

tan^{2} (x) + 5 = 3 sec^{2} (x)

Subtract

3 sec^{2} (x)

from both sides

tan^{2} (x) + 5 - 3 sec^{2} (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= 5 + sec^{2} (x) - 1 - 3 sec^{2} (x)

Simplify

5 + sec^{2} (x) - 1 - 3 sec^{2} (x) : - 2 sec^{2} (x) + 4

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

Group like terms

= sec^{2} (x) - 3 sec^{2} (x) + 5 - 1

Add similar elements:

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

= - 2 sec^{2} (x) + 5 - 1

Add/Subtract the numbers:

5 - 1 = 4

= - 2 sec^{2} (x) + 4

= - 2 sec^{2} (x) + 4

4 - 2 sec^{2} (x) = 0

Solve by substitution

4 - 2 sec^{2} (x) = 0

Let:

sec (x) = u

4 - 2 u^{2} = 0

4 - 2 u^{2} = 0 : u = 2, u = - 2

4 - 2 u^{2} = 0

Move

4

to the right side

4 - 2 u^{2} = 0

Subtract

4

from both sides

4 - 2 u^{2} - 4 = 0 - 4

Simplify

- 2 u^{2} = - 4

- 2 u^{2} = - 4

Divide both sides by

- 2

- 2 u^{2} = - 4

Divide both sides by

- 2

\frac{- 2 u ^{2}}{- 2} = \frac{- 4}{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{- 2 u ^{2}}{- 2} = \frac{- 4}{- 2}

Simplify

\frac{- 2 u ^{2}}{- 2} : u^{2}

\frac{- 2 u ^{2}}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{2 u ^{2}}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= u^{2}

Simplify

\frac{- 4}{- 2} : 2

\frac{- 4}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

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

= \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2

u^{2} = 2

u^{2} = 2

u^{2} = 2

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

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

u = 2, u = - 2

Substitute back

u = sec (x)

sec (x) = 2, sec (x) = - 2

sec (x) = 2, sec (x) = - 2

sec (x) = 2 : x = \frac{π}{4} + 2 πn, x = \frac{7 π}{4} + 2 πn

sec (x) = 2
