SOLUTION: 7cos theta =1 = 6sec theta

Question 828791: 7cos theta =1 = 6sec theta

7cos theta + 1 = 6sec theta
-----
7*cos(t) + 1 = 6/cos(t)
------
7cos^2(t) + cos(t) - 6 = 0
------
7cos^2(t)+ 7cos(t)-6cos(t) - 6 = 0
-------
Factor:
7cos(t)(cos(t)+1) -6(cos(t)+1) = 0
-------
(cos(t)+1)(7cos(t)-6) = 0
------
cos(t) = -1 or cos(t) = 6/7
-------
t = pi or t = +-0.5411 radians
