solve for all values of θ for = the < 360 degrees, that satisfy the equation sec ^2 θ - 3=tan θ , to the nearest tenth of a degree
--------------------------
sec^2(x) - 3 = tan(x)
-------------
Note: sec^2(x) = tan^2(x) + 1
--------------
tan^2(x) + 1 - 3 = tan(x)
Rearrange:
tan^2(x) - tan(x) -2 = 0
Factor:
(tan(x)-2)(tan(x)+1) = 0
tan(x) = 2 or tan(x) = -1
x = 63.43 degrees or x = 63.43+180 = 243.43 degrees
x = 135 degrees or x = 315 degrees
