over the interval 0 to 2pi

x= 1.14, 4.28, 5.68, and 2.54 right?

2sec^2 x - 3tanx - 5 = 0

2(1+tan^2 x) - 3tanx - 5 = 0
2 + 2tan^2 x - 3tanx - 5 = 0
2tan^2 x - 3tanx - 3 = 0
tanx = (3 ± √33)/4
tanx = 2.18614... or tanx = -.68614...

x = 1.14178... or x = π + 1.14178 = 4.283376
or
x = π - .60136 = 2.5402
x = 2π - .60136 = 5.68182

x = 1.14178 , 2.5402, 4.283376, 5.68182

To find the solutions of the equation 2sec^2x - 3tanx - 5 = 0 over the interval 0 to 2pi, we can use the trigonometric identities:

sec^2x = 1 + tan^2x

Substituting this identity into the equation, we get:

2(1 + tan^2x) - 3tanx - 5 = 0

Rearranging the equation:

2tan^2x - 3tanx - 3 = 0

This is now a quadratic equation in terms of tanx. We can solve it by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Let's use the quadratic formula:

The quadratic formula is given by:

x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

For our equation, a = 2, b = -3, and c = -3. Substituting the values into the formula:

tanx = (3 ± sqrt((-3)^2 - 4(2)(-3))) / (2(2))

Simplifying:

tanx = (3 ± sqrt(9 + 24)) / 4

tanx = (3 ± sqrt(33)) / 4

Now, to find the values of x, we need to find the values of tanx that are within the interval 0 to 2pi. Let's calculate the inverse tangent (tan^(-1)) of the values:

x = tan^(-1)((3 ± sqrt(33)) / 4)

Using a calculator, we find:

x ≈ 1.14, 4.28, 5.68, and 2.54 (rounded to two decimal places)

So, the solutions of the equation over the interval 0 to 2pi are x = 1.14, 4.28, 5.68, and 2.54.

To solve the equation 2sec^2x - 3tanx - 5 = 0 over the interval 0 to 2π, we can follow these steps:

1. Start by rewriting tanx in terms of sinx and cosx: tanx = sinx/cosx, and secx = 1/cosx.

2. Substitute these values into the equation to get:
2(1/cos^2x) - 3(sin x/cos x) - 5 = 0

3. Multiply both sides of the equation by cos^2x to clear the denominator and simplify:
2 - 3sinx - 5cos^2x = 0
Rearrange and simplify further:
-5cos^2x - 3sinx + 2 = 0

4. Next, we need to find the values of x that satisfy this equation. One way to do this is to use a graphing calculator or software to plot the graph of the equation and find the x-intercepts. However, if you prefer an algebraic approach, we can apply the quadratic formula.

Let's consider cosx as a variable, denoted as t. Rewrite the equation in terms of t:
-5t^2 - 3√(1-t^2) + 2 = 0

Now, we have a quadratic equation in t. Using the quadratic formula:
t = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

For our equation, a = -5, b = -3, and c = 2, so we can substitute these values into the formula:
t = (-(-3) ± √((-3)^2 - 4(-5)(2))) / (2(-5))
Simplifying further gives us:
t = (3 ± √(9 + 40)) / (-10)
t = (3 ± √49) / (-10)

5. Solving for t, we get two possible solutions:
t = (3 + 7) / (-10) = 1, and
t = (3 - 7) / (-10) = -0.4

6. Since cosx cannot equal -0.4, we only consider the solution t = 1.

7. Now, recall that t is cosx. Therefore, cosx = 1. To find the corresponding values of x, we use the inverse cosine function (arccos):
x = arccos(1)

The range of the arccos function is [0, π], so we find one solution in this range. Therefore, x = 0.

8. However, we need to find all the solutions over the interval 0 to 2π. To do this, we observe that cosine is a periodic function with a period of 2π. That means there will be a second solution in the interval (π, 2π]. Hence, the second solution is π.

9. Therefore, the solutions to the equation 2sec^2x - 3tanx - 5 = 0 over the interval 0 to 2π are x = 0 and x = π.

2sec^2x - 3tanx - 5 = 0

=> 2(1+tan^2(2x)) - 3tanx - 5 = 0
=> 2tan^2(2x) - 3tanx - 3 = 0
=> (2tan2x + 1)(tanx - 2) = 0
=> 2tan2x = -1, tanx = 2

=> tan2x = -1/2, tanx = 2
=> x = 1.107, 4.249, x = 1.339, 2.91, 4.481, 6.051
