x=0∘,x=180∘
Solution steps
5sec2(x)−5=0,0≤x<2π
Solve by substitution
5sec2(x)−5=0
Let: sec(x)=u5u2−5=0
5u2−5=0:u=1,u=−1
5u2−5=0
Move 5to the right side
5u2−5=0
Add 5 to both sides5u2−5+5=0+5
Simplify5u2=5
5u2=5
Divide both sides by 5
5u2=5
Divide both sides by 555u2​=55​
Simplifyu2=1
u2=1
For x2=f(a) the solutions are x=f(a)​,−f(a)​
u=1​,u=−1​
1​=1
1​
Apply rule 1​=1=1
−1​=−1
−1​
Apply rule 1​=1=−1
u=1,u=−1
Substitute back u=sec(x)sec(x)=1,sec(x)=−1
sec(x)=1,sec(x)=−1
sec(x)=1,0≤x<2π:x=0
sec(x)=1,0≤x<2π
