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

kaylak:

2?

Vocaloid:

yeah that's what I got too

Vocaloid:

for # the error is in these two steps, do you see what it is?

kaylak:

b

Vocaloid:

good

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

Vocaloid:

@Shadow do you remember how to do this ;;

Shadow:

No @Zarkon ?

Zarkon:

\[1+\tan^2(x)=\sec^2(x)\]

kaylak:

?

Zarkon:

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

Zarkon:

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

Zarkon:

* \[cos^2(x)\] that is

Zarkon:

are you just trying to solve \[2(\sec^2(\theta) - 1) -\ sec(\theta) - 1 = 0\]

kaylak:

a and d?

Zarkon:

lol...sorry ..didn't see your post of the image...jas

kaylak:

its okay lol am i correct?

kaylak:

?

Zarkon:

sec(x)=-1 and sec(x)=3/2

Zarkon:

looking at the tangent ones now

kaylak:

only 2 answer choices allowed

Zarkon:

then the ones i said

kaylak:

okay

kaylak:

#4?

Zarkon:

do you have a guess?

kaylak:

c maybe

Zarkon:

\[\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\] is not the answer

kaylak:

b?

Zarkon:

yes

kaylak:

ty

Zarkon:
