-tan^2(θ)=-1+sec(θ)

Solution

- tan^{2} (θ) = - 1 + sec (θ)

Solution

θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = 2 πn

Degrees

θ = 12 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 24 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n, θ = 0^{\circ} + 36 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

- tan^{2} (θ) = - 1 + sec (θ)

Subtract

- 1 + sec (θ)

from both sides

- tan^{2} (θ) + 1 - sec (θ) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

1 - sec (θ) - tan^{2} (θ)

Use the Pythagorean identity:

tan^{2} (x) + 1 = sec^{2} (x)

tan^{2} (x) = sec^{2} (x) - 1

= 1 - sec (θ) - (sec^{2} (θ) - 1)

Simplify

1 - sec (θ) - (sec^{2} (θ) - 1) : - sec^{2} (θ) - sec (θ) + 2

1 - sec (θ) - (sec^{2} (θ) - 1)

- (sec^{2} (θ) - 1) : - sec^{2} (θ) + 1

- (sec^{2} (θ) - 1)

Distribute parentheses

= - (sec^{2} (θ)) - (- 1)

Apply minus-plus rules

- (- a) = a, - (a) = - a

= - sec^{2} (θ) + 1

= 1 - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) + 1

Simplify

1 - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) + 1 : - sec^{2} (θ) - sec (θ) + 2

1 - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) + 1

Group like terms

= - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) + 1 + 1

Add the numbers:

1 + 1 = 2

= - sec^{2} (θ) - sec (θ) + 2

= - sec^{2} (θ) - sec (θ) + 2

= - sec^{2} (θ) - sec (θ) + 2

2 - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) = 0

Solve by substitution

2 - sec (θ) - sec^{2} (θ) = 0

Let:

sec (θ) = u

2 - u - u^{2} = 0

2 - u - u^{2} = 0 : u = - 2, u = 1

2 - u - u^{2} = 0

Write in the standard form

a x^{2} + b x + c = 0

- u^{2} - u + 2 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula

- u^{2} - u + 2 = 0

Quadratic Equation Formula:

For

a = - 1, b = - 1, c = 2

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 2}{2 ( - 1 )}

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm ( - 1 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 1 ) \cdot 2}{2 ( - 1 )}

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 1) \cdot 2 = 3

(- 1)^{2} - 4 (- 1) \cdot 2

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= (- 1)^{2} + 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2

(- 1)^{2} = 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2}

= 1^{2}

Apply rule

1^{a} = 1

= 1

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 8

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2 = 8

= 8

= 1 + 8

Add the numbers:

1 + 8 = 9

= 9

Factor the number:

9 = 3^{2}

= 3^{2}

Apply radical rule:

3^{2} = 3

= 3

u_{1, 2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) \pm 3}{2 ( - 1 )}

Separate the solutions

u_{1} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) + 3}{2 ( - 1 )}, u_{2} = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 3}{2 ( - 1 )}

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) + 3}{2 ( - 1 )} : - 2

\frac{- ( - 1 ) + 3}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{1 + 3}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Add the numbers:

1 + 3 = 4

= \frac{4}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{4}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b}

= - \frac{4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= - 2

u = \frac{- ( - 1 ) - 3}{2 ( - 1 )} : 1

\frac{- ( - 1 ) - 3}{2 ( - 1 )}

Remove parentheses:

(- a) = - a, - (- a) = a

= \frac{1 - 3}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Subtract the numbers:

1 - 3 = - 2

= \frac{- 2}{- 2 \cdot 1}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 1 = 2

= \frac{- 2}{- 2}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{- a}{- b} = \frac{a}{b}

= \frac{2}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{a} = 1

= 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation are:

u = - 2, u = 1

Substitute back

u = sec (θ)

sec (θ) = - 2, sec (θ) = 1

sec (θ) = - 2, sec (θ) = 1

sec (θ) = - 2 : θ = \frac{2 π}{3} + 2 πn, θ = \frac{4 π}{3} + 2 πn

sec (θ) = - 2
