Find all solutions of each equation on the interval 0 ≤ x < 2π.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

How are tangents and secants related to sines and cosines?

$\displaystyle \tan{x} = \frac{\sin{x}}{\cos{x}}$ .

$\displaystyle \sec{x} = \frac{1}{\cos{x}}$ .

Sticking to either cosine or sine might help simplify the calculation. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $\sin^{2}{x} = 1 - \cos^{2}{x}$ . Therefore, for the square of tangents,

$\displaystyle \tan^{2}{x} = \frac{\sin^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}}$ .

This equation will thus become:

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} \cdot \frac{1}{\cos^{2}{x}} + \frac{2}{\cos^{2}{x}} - \frac{1 - \cos^{2}{x}}{\cos^{2}{x}} = 2$ .

To simplify the calculations, replace all $\cos^{2}{x}$ with another variable. For example, let $u = \cos^{2}{x}$ . Keep in mind that $0 \le \cos^{2}{x} \le 1 \implies 0 \le u \le 1$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1 - u}{u^{2}} + \frac{2}{u} - \frac{1 - u}{u} = 2$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{(1 - u) + u - u \cdot (1- u)}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

Solve this equation for $u$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{u^{2} + 1}{u^{2}} = 2$ .

$u^{2} + 1 = 2 u^{2}$ .

$u^{2} = 1$ .

Given that $0 \le u \le 1$ , $u = 1$ is the only possible solution.

$\cos^{2}{x} = 1$ ,

$x = k \pi$ , where $k\in \mathbb{Z}$ (i.e., $k$ is an integer.)

Given that $0 \le x < 2\pi$ ,

$0 \le k$ .

$k = 0$ or $k = 1$ . Accordingly,

$x = 0$ or $x = \pi$ .

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The expression (-4x + 9)^2 cannot be equal to (-4x)^2 + 9^2 because it is actually equal to the product of two factors (3 + 2sqrt x) (3- 2 sqrt x). One cannot use obviously distributive property. Hence the answer to this problem should be C. as she did not understand both perfect square trinomial and did not determine the product
