2 \sec^2 x = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2(1 +\tan^2 x) = 3- \tan x \\\\\implies 2 + 2 \tan^2 x +\tan x -3 =0\\\\\implies 2 \tan^2 x + \tan x  -1 =0\\\\\implies 2u^2 + u -1 =0~~~ ;[\text{set} \tan x = u]\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1-4\cdot 2 \cdot (-1)}}{2(2)}\\\\\implies u =\dfrac{-1 \pm\sqrt{9}}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{-1 \pm 3}{4}\\\\\implies u = \dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac 12~~ \text{or}  ~~u =\dfrac{-4}{4} =-1\\\\

\implies \tan x = \dfrac 12 ~~ \text{or} ~~  \tan x =-1~~~ ;[\text{Substitute back u =tan x}]\\\\\text{Now,}~ \\\\\tan x = -1,\\\\\implies x = n\pi - \dfrac{\pi}4\\\\\\\text{For interval,}~ [0,2\pi) \\\\x = \dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4\\\\\text{In degrees,}~ x = 135^{\circ}, x =315^{\circ}\\\\\tan x = \dfrac 12\\\\\implies x = n\pi + \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right)\\\\\text{For interval} ~[0,2\pi),\\\\

x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right),  \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\text{in degrees,}   ~~x=\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right),  \left[180^{\circ} +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\\\\text{Combine all solutions:}\\\\x=\dfrac{3\pi}4, \dfrac{7\pi}4, \tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right),  \left[\pi +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]\\\\\\

\text{In degrees,}~ x = 135^{\circ},~315^{\circ},~\tan^{-1} \left(\dfrac 12 \right),  \left[180^{\circ} +\tan^{-1} \left( \dfrac 12 \right)\right]

Is 1/3 a terminating decimal
Darya [45]
A terminating decimal is a decimal that STOPS, meaning it doesn't go on forever. 

So, we will divide and see. 

1 ÷ 3 = <span>0.3333333............

So NO this is NOT a terminating decimal, but a repeating decimal.

Hope i helped ya!!!!!! </span>
