Find the exact solution to each equation for the interval 0°≤x<360°.
3. cosx = 2sinx
---------------------
cos^2(x) = 4sin^2(x)
1 - sin^2(x) = 4sin^2(x)
5sin^2(x) = 1
sin^2(x) = 1/5
sin(x) = sqrt(5)/5
x = ~ 29.517 degs
============
sin(x) = -sqrt(1/5)
x = ~ - 29.517 degs --- extraneous, ignore
----
Sine and cosine have the same sign, pos or negative, in Q1 and Q3.
Check for 29.517 + 180 degs
==================================
4. secx/1+secx = sec²x/2+secx <--(fraction form)
Ambiguous - add parentheses

given:
cos%28x+%29=+2sin%28x%29, in interval 0°≤x<360°
cos%28x+%29=+2sin%28x%29........both sides divide by cos%28x+%29
1=+2sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x+%29
1%2F2=+sin%28x%29%2Fcos%28x+%29.....use identity
tan%28x%29=1%2F2
x=tan%5E-1%281%2F2%29
x=0.46364 radians
x=26.57°

Solutions for the range 0°≤x<360°:
x=0.46364 radians
x=0.46364+%2Bpi
x=+26.57°
x=26.57%2B180=206.57°
