what is the solution set of all angles in [0,2pi)
4 cos^2x-3=0
cos^2(x) = 3/4
cos(x) = sqrt(3)/2
x = pi/3 or x = (5/6)pi
============================
5 sec^2x-20=0
sec^2(x) = 4
sec(x) = +2 or -2
x = pi/6 or (11/6)pi or (5/6)pi or (7/6)pi
===================================================
2 cos^2 x-sin x-1=0
2(1-sin^2(x)) - sin(x) - 1 = 0
-2sin^2(x) - sin(x) + 1 = 0
----
2sin^2(x) + sin(x) - 1 = 0
-----
(2sin(x)-1)(sin(x)+1) = 0
sin(x) = 1/2 or sin(x) = -1
x = pi/6 or (5/6)pi or (3/2)pi
==================================
Cheers,
Stan H.
