2sin(x)=sec(x)

Solution

2 sin (x) = sec (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

Degrees

x = 4 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

2 sin (x) = sec (x)

Subtract

sec (x)

from both sides

2 sin (x) - sec (x) = 0

Express with sin, cos

- sec (x) + 2 sin (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sec (x) = \frac{1}{cos ( x )}

= - \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x)

Simplify

- \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x) : \frac{- 1 + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

- \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 2 sin (x)

Convert element to fraction:

2 sin (x) = \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= - \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + \frac{2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{- 1 + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{- 1 + 2 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{- 1 + 2 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

- 1 + 2 cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + 2 cos (x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

2 sin (x) cos (x) = sin (2 x)

= - 1 + sin (2 x)

- 1 + sin (2 x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + sin (2 x) = 0

Add

1

to both sides

- 1 + sin (2 x) + 1 = 0 + 1

Simplify

sin (2 x) = 1

sin (2 x) = 1

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Solve

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn : x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

2 x = \frac{π}{2} + 2 πn

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 x}{2} = \frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

Simplify

\frac{2 x}{2} : x

\frac{2 x}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= x

Simplify

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2} : \frac{π}{4} + πn

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} + \frac{2 πn}{2}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2} = \frac{π}{4}

\frac{\frac{π}{2}}{2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{π}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{π}{4}

\frac{2 πn}{2} = πn

\frac{2 πn}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{2}{2} = 1

= πn

= \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn

x = \frac{π}{4} + πn
