4sin(x)=sec(x)

Solution

4 sin (x) = sec (x)

Solution

x = \frac{π}{12} + πn, x = \frac{5 π}{12} + πn

Degrees

x = 1 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n, x = 7 5^{\circ} + 18 0^{\circ} n

Solution steps

4 sin (x) = sec (x)

Subtract

sec (x)

from both sides

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

Express with sin, cos

- sec (x) + 4 sin (x)

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= - \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 4 sin (x)

Simplify

- \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 4 sin (x) : \frac{- 1 + 4 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

- \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + 4 sin (x)

Convert element to fraction:

4 sin (x) = \frac{4 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= - \frac{1}{cos ( x )} + \frac{4 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 + 4 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

= \frac{- 1 + 4 sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{cos ( x )}

\frac{- 1 + 4 cos ( x ) sin ( x )}{cos ( x )} = 0

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

- 1 + 4 cos (x) sin (x) = 0

Rewrite using trig identities

- 1 + 4 cos (x) sin (x)

Use the Double Angle identity:

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

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

= - 1 + 4 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2}

- 1 + 4 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 0

4 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2} = 2 sin (2 x)

4 \cdot \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2}

Multiply fractions:

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

= \frac{sin ( 2 x ) \cdot 4}{2}

Divide the numbers:

\frac{4}{2} = 2

= 2 sin (2 x)

- 1 + 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Move

1

to the right side

- 1 + 2 sin (2 x) = 0

Add

1

to both sides

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

Simplify

2 sin (2 x) = 1

2 sin (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

2 sin (2 x) = 1

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{2 sin ( 2 x )}{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Simplify

sin (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (2 x) = \frac{1}{2}
