find all solutions of the equation sec(theta)tan(theta)-cos(theta)cot(theta)=sin(theta)
find the solutions in the interval [0,2pi]
**
secxtanx-cosxcotx=sinx
1/cosx*sinx/cosx-cosx*cosx/sinx=sinx
sinx/cos^2x-cos^2x/sinx=sinx
multiply each term by sinx
sin^2x/cos^2x-cos^2x=sin^2x
sin^2x/cos^2x=sin^2x+cos^2x
sin^2x/cos^2x=1
tan^2x=1
tanx=±√1=±1
x=π/4, 3π/4, 5π/4, and 7π/4
