Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0,2π) sec(theta) +2=0

I will first reveal the most obvious secret of trig: Most of the problems are 30/60/90 or 45/45/90 triangles of some sort.

\sec \theta + 2  = 0

\dfrac{1 }{ \cos \theta} = -2

\cos \theta = - \frac 1 2

The rule to remember is \cos x = \cos a has solutions

x = \pm a + 2 \pi k \quad integer k

Continuing where we left off, a cosine of -1/2 is a 30/60/90 triangle in the second or third quadrant; we pick second, and a little thought tells us the angle is  120^\circ.

\cos \theta = - \frac 1 2

\cos \theta = \cos \frac {2\pi} 3

\theta = \pm \frac {2\pi} 3 + 2 \pi k \quad integer k

In the range we want, that's k=0 with the plus sign and k=1 with the minus, so 

\theta = \frac {2\pi} 3 or -\frac {2\pi} 3 + 2 \pi = \frac{4 \pi} 3

\theta = \frac {2\pi} 3 or \frac{4 \pi} 3

The distance travelled in (m) by a ball dropped from a height are 128/9,32/3,8,6,...
Allushta [10]

Answer: it will trave 56.89 meters before coming to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric progression since the distance travelled (height) by the ball is reducing by a constant ratio, r. Since the number of times that the ball will bounce is infinite, then we would apply the formula for determining the sum of the terms in a geometric progression to infinity which is expressed as

S = a/(1 - r)

where

S = sum of the distance travelled by the ball

a = initial distance or height of the ball

r = common ratio

From the information given,

a = 128/9

r = (32/3)/(128/9) = 0.75

Therefore,

S = (128/9)/(1 - 0.75) = 56.89 meters
