sec^2(θ)= 4/3

Solution

sec^{2} (θ) = \frac{4}{3}

Solution

θ = \frac{π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{11 π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{5 π}{6} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{7 π}{6} + 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 3 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 33 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 15 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 21 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

sec^{2} (θ) = \frac{4}{3}

Solve by substitution

sec^{2} (θ) = \frac{4}{3}

Let:

sec (θ) = u

u^{2} = \frac{4}{3}

u^{2} = \frac{4}{3} : u = \frac{2 3}{3}, u = - \frac{2 3}{3}

u^{2} = \frac{4}{3}

For

x^{2} = f (a)

the solutions are

x = f (a), - f (a)

u = \frac{4}{3}, u = - \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{2 3}{3}

Factor the number:

4 = 2^{2}

= 2^{2}

Apply radical rule:

2^{2} = 2

= 2

= \frac{2}{3}

Rationalize

\frac{2}{3} : \frac{2 3}{3}
