Question 933554: 2secēθ+5tanθ=3
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2secēθ + 5tanθ = 3
--------
2(1+tan^2) + 5tan = 3
---------
2 + 2tan^2 + 5tan = 3
---------
2tan^2 + 5tan -1 = 0
---------
tan = [-5 +- sqrt(25-5*2*-1)]/2
--------------
tan = [-5+-sqrt(35)]/2
----------------
tan(t) = 0.4580 or tan(t) = -5.458 (extraneous)
---
t = arctan(0.4580) = 24.61 degrees
--------------------
