cos2x+ root3/2=0

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[2Tan^2x-Sec^2x+2tanx+2=0\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\tan^2x+\tan^2x-\sec^2x+2tanx+2=0\] \[\sec^2x-1=\tan^2x,~~~So~~~~\sec^2x-\tan^2x=1,~~~~substitute\]\[\tan^2x+(\tan^2x-\sec^2x)+2tanx+2=0\] \[\tan^2x+1+2tanx+2=0\]\[\tan^2x+2tanx+3= 0\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

made an error in substituting, it is not 1, it's negative one.\[\tan^2x-\sec^2x=-1\] So

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\tan^2x+(-1)+2tanx+2=0\]\[\tan^2x+2tanx+1=0,~~~~~L e t~~tanx=a\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[a^2+2a+1=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(a+1)^2=0\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

a=-1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[tanx=-1\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[Tan ^{-1}(-1)=?\]

thank you so much! what is the answer in radians with a restriction of x is greater than or equal to 0. and x is less than or equal to 2pi

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

-pi / 4 i think.
