Solution
solve, finding all solutions in (0, 2 pi). 3sec x x + 2 tan^2x =0
given 3sec x + 2tan^2 x =0
sec^2 x -tan^2 x =1
sec^2 x -1 = tan^2 x
3sec x + 2(sec^2 x -1) =0
2sec^2 x +3sec x -2 =0
2sec^2 x +4sec x -sec x -2 =0
2secx(secx +2) -1(secx+2) =0
(secx +2) (2secx -1) =0
so secx = -2 or secx = 1/2
sec x = -2 or for this no solution
x = 2pi/3 , 4pi/3
