Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x<2π.
tan2x sec2x + 2sec2x – tan2x = 2

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]x = 0 \: or \:x = \pi [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex] \tan^{2} (x) \sec^{2} (x) + \sec^{2} (x) - \tan^{2} (x) = 2[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides and factor by grouping to get:

[tex] \sec^{2} (x)(\tan^{2} (x) + 2) -1( \tan^{2} (x) + 2)[/tex]

[tex] (\tan^{2} (x) + 2) (\sec^{2} (x) - 1) = 0[/tex]

By the zero product principle:

[tex](\tan^{2} (x) + 2) = 0 \: or \: (\sec^{2} (x) - 1) = 0[/tex]

[tex](\tan^{2} (x) = - 2 \: or \: \sec^{2} (x) = 1[/tex]

When

[tex]\sec^{2} (x) = 1 \implies\cos^{2} (x) = 1[/tex]

[tex] \implies \: \cos(x) = \pm1[/tex]

This implies

[tex]x = 0 \: or \:x = \pi [/tex]

When

[tex] { \tan }^{2} (x) = - 2[/tex]

We have

[tex] \tan(x) = \pm \sqrt{ - 2} [/tex]

hence x is not defined for all real numbers

Note: It's not clear if the expressions involving '2x' actually mean squaring the tangent/secant or doubling the angle x. I'm posting the answer assuming the latest approach.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric Equations

It's a type of equations where the variable is the argument of some of the trigonometric functions. It's generally restricted to a given domain, so the solution must be iteratively selected within all the possible answers.

The equation to solve is

[tex]\displaystyle tan2x\ sec2x+2\ sec2x-tan2x=2[/tex]

Rearranging

[tex]\displaystyle tan2x\ sec2x+2\ sec2x-tan2x-2=0[/tex]

Factoring

[tex]\displaystyle tan2x( sec2x-1)+2 (sec2x-1)=0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle (tan2x+2)(sec2x-1)=0[/tex]

We come up with two different equations:

[tex]\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}tan2x+2=0....[eq1]\\sec2x-1=0....[eq2]\end{matrix}\right.[/tex]

Let's take eq 1:

[tex]\displaystyle tan2x=-2[/tex]

Solving for 2x

[tex]\displaystyle 2x=arctan(-2)[/tex]

There are two sets of possible solutions:

[tex]\left\{\begin{matrix} 2x=-1.107+2k\pi \\ 2x=-2.034+2k\pi \end{matrix}\right.[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle for\ k=0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x=-1.107\\ 2x=2.034\end{matrix}\right[/tex]

We get two solutions

[tex]\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}x=-0.554\\ x=1.017\end{matrix}\right[/tex].

The first solution is out of the range [tex]0\leq x < 2\pi[/tex], so it's discarded

[tex]\displaystyle for\ k=1[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x=5.176\\ 2x=8.318\end{matrix}\right[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}x=2.588\\x=4.159\end{matrix}\right[/tex].

Both solutions are feasible

[tex]\displaystyle for\ k=2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x=11.459\\ 2x=14.601\end{matrix}\right[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}x=5.730\\ x=7.300\end{matrix}\right[/tex].

Only the first solution lies in the given domain. We won't take negative values of k since it will provide negative values of x and they are not allowed in the solution

Now we solve eq 2:

[tex]\displaystyle sec\ 2x-1=0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle sec\ 2x=1[/tex]

This leads to the solution

[tex]\displaystyle 2x=2k\pi[/tex]  

Or equivalently

[tex]x=k\pi[/tex]

For k=0, x=0. This solution is valid

For k=1, [tex]x=\pi[/tex] . This is also valid

For k=2, [tex]x=2\pi[/tex] . This solution is out of range

The whole set of solutions is

[tex]\displaystyle xe=\begin{Bmatrix}0,1.017,2.588,\pi ,4.159,5.730\end{Bmatrix}[/tex]
