Answer 1

Answer:

$\beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve $\tan \beta \sec \beta=\sqrt{2}$, where $0\le \beta \le360\degree$.

We rewrite in terms of sine and cosine.

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos \beta} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \beta} =\sqrt{2}$

$\frac{\sin \beta}{\cos^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

Use the Pythagorean identity: $\cos^2\beta=1-\sin^2\beta$.

$\frac{\sin \beta}{1-\sin^2\beta}=\sqrt{2}$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}(1-\sin^2\beta)$

$\implies \sin \beta=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta$

$\implies \sqrt{2}\sin^2\beta+\sin \beta- \sqrt{2}=0$

This is a quadratic equation in $\sin \beta$.

By the quadratic formula, we have:

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(\sqrt{2})(-\sqrt{2} ) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2+4(2) } }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{9} }{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{-1\pm3}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{2}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=\frac{-4}{2\cdot \sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }$ or $\sin \beta=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} }$

$\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ or $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$

When $\sin \beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ , $\beta=\sin ^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} )$

$\implies \beta=45\degree\:\:or\:\:\beta=135\degree$ on the interval $0\le \beta \le360\degree$.

When  $\sin \beta=-\sqrt{2}$, $\beta$ is not defined because $-1\le \sin \beta \le1$
