Can I get some help with Trig identities?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the following in the interval [0,2pi) \[\tan x + \sqrt{3} = \sec x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is another way to write tan and sec?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan = sin/cos and sec =1/cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used that, but as i got further along I got stuck. Should I set it up as a quadratic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \sin }{ \cos}x+\sqrt{3}=\frac{ 1 }{ \cos }x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got to \[\sin x - \cos x +\sqrt{3}\cos x = 0\] am i on the right track?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin x-1+\sqrt{3}cosx=0\]
