2sin(x)tan(x)+5=4sec(x)

Solution

2 sin (x) tan (x) + 5 = 4 sec (x)

Solution

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

Degrees

x = 6 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, x = 30 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin (x) tan (x) + 5 = 4 sec (x)

Subtract

4 sec (x)

from both sides

2 sin (x) tan (x) + 5 - 4 sec (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

2 sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 5 - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} = 0

Simplify

2 sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 5 - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} : \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4 + 5 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

2 sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 5 - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

2 sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ( x )}

2 sin (x) \frac{sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( x ) \cdot 2 sin ( x )}{cos ( x )}

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

sin (x) \cdot 2 sin (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

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

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

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= 2 sin^{2} (x)

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ( x )}

4 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )} = \frac{4}{cos ( x )}

4 \cdot \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{1 \cdot 4}{cos ( x )}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 4 = 4

= \frac{4}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ( x )} + 5 - \frac{4}{cos ( x )}

Combine the fractions

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x )}{cos ( x )} - \frac{4}{cos ( x )} : \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4}{cos ( x )}

Apply rule

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

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4}{cos ( x )} + 5

Convert element to fraction:

5 = \frac{5 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4}{cos ( x )} + \frac{5 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4 + 5 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{2 sin ^{2} ( x ) - 4 + 5 cos ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

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

2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x) = 0

Subtract

5 cos (x)

from both sides

2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 = - 5 cos (x)

Square both sides

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} = (- 5 cos (x))^{2}

Subtract

(- 5 cos (x))^{2}

from both sides

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 25 cos^{2} (x) = 0

Factor

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 25 cos^{2} (x) : (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x)) (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 - 5 cos (x))

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 25 cos^{2} (x)

Rewrite

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 25 cos^{2} (x)

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - (5 cos (x))^{2}

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 25 cos^{2} (x)

Rewrite

5^{2}

= (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - 5^{2} cos^{2} (x)

Apply exponent rule:

a^{m} b^{m} = (ab)^{m}

5^{2} cos^{2} (x) = (5 cos (x))^{2}

= (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - (5 cos (x))^{2}

= (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - (5 cos (x))^{2}

Apply Difference of Two Squares Formula:

x^{2} - y^{2} = (x + y) (x - y)

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4)^{2} - (5 cos (x))^{2} = ((2 sin^{2} (x) - 4) + 5 cos (x)) ((2 sin^{2} (x) - 4) - 5 cos (x))

= ((2 sin^{2} (x) - 4) + 5 cos (x)) ((2 sin^{2} (x) - 4) - 5 cos (x))

Refine

= (2 sin^{2} (x) + 5 cos (x) - 4) (2 sin^{2} (x) - 5 cos (x) - 4)

(2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x)) (2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 - 5 cos (x)) = 0

Solving each part separately

2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x) = 0 or 2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 - 5 cos (x) = 0

2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x) = 0 : x = \frac{π}{3} + 2 πn, x = \frac{5 π}{3} + 2 πn

2 sin^{2} (x) - 4 + 5 cos (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 4 + 2 sin^{2} (x) + 5 cos (x)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

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

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

= - 4 + 2 (1 - cos^{2} (x)) + 5 cos (x)

Simplify
