I don't remember how to do #1 by hand, I'd just put both the equations into a graphing calc/etc. and see how many intersections there are between 0 <x < 2pi

hm. I'm a little rusty on this
tan^2 = sec^2 - 1
so 2(sec^2 - 1) - sec - 1 = 0
I'm not sure where to go from there though :S

you get that from \[\sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1\]

Zarkon:
divide both sides by \[\cos(x)\]
