cos(x+25)sec(65-x)=1

Solution

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) = 1

Solution

x = 2 0^{\circ} - 18 0^{\circ} n

Radians

x = \frac{π}{9} - πn

Solution steps

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) = 1

Subtract

1

from both sides

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) - 1 = 0

Simplify

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) - 1 : cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36}) - 1

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) - 1

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x) = cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36})

cos (x + 2 5^{\circ}) sec (6 5^{\circ} - x)

Join

x + 2 5^{\circ} : \frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}

x + 2 5^{\circ}

Convert element to fraction:

x = \frac{x 36}{36}

= \frac{x \cdot 36}{36} + 2 5^{\circ}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{x \cdot 36 + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}

= cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (- x + 6 5^{\circ})

Join

6 5^{\circ} - x : \frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36}

6 5^{\circ} - x

Convert element to fraction:

x = \frac{x 36}{36}

= 6 5^{\circ} - \frac{x \cdot 36}{36}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - x \cdot 36}{36}

= cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{- 36 x + 234 0 ^{\circ}}{36})

= cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{- 36 x + 234 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) - 1

cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36}) - 1 = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + cos (\frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36})

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

= - 1 + sin (9 0^{\circ} - \frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36}) sec (\frac{234 0 ^{\circ} - 36 x}{36})

Join

9 0^{\circ} - \frac{36 x + 90 0 ^{\circ}}{36} : \frac{- 36 x + 234 0 ^{\circ}}{36}
