Find all solutions of the equation in the interval 0 2 Enter
Find all solutions of the equation in the interval [0, 2). (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.) 8 sec^2 x + 4 tan^2 x 12 = 0
Solution
8 sec^2 x + 4 tan^2 x 12 = 0
use the identity : 1+tan^2x = sec^2x
So, 8( 1+ tan^2x) +4tan^2x -12 =0
12tan^2x = 4
tan^2x = 1/3
tanx = 1/sqrt3 , -1/sqrt3
tanx = 1/sqrt3 ----> x= pi/6 , pi+pi/6 = pi/6 , 7pi/6
tanx = -1/sqrt3
x= pi-pi/6 , 2pi -pi/6 = 5pi/6 , 11pi/6
Solution x =pi/6 , 7pi/6 , 5pi/6 , 11pi/6
