The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sec^2 2x = 1 - \tan 2x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation using trigonometric identities. We know that: \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta \] Thus, we can rewrite the left side of the equation: \[ \sec^2 2x = 1 + \tan^2 2x \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ 1 + \tan^2 2x = 1 - \tan 2x \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation. Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ \tan^2 2x = -\tan 2x \] Rearranging gives: \[ \tan^2 2x + \tan 2x = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the equation. We can factor out \( \tan 2x \): \[ \tan 2x (\tan 2x + 1) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Set each factor to zero. This gives us two cases to solve: 1. \( \tan 2x = 0 \) 2. \( \tan 2x + 1 = 0 \) or \( \tan 2x = -1 \) ### Step 5: Solve the first case \( \tan 2x = 0 \). The general solution for \( \tan \theta = 0 \) is: \[ 2x = n\pi \quad \text{where } n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Thus, dividing by 2: \[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2} \] ### Step 6: Solve the second case \( \tan 2x = -1 \). The general solution for \( \tan \theta = -1 \) is: \[ 2x = n\pi - \frac{\pi}{4} \quad \text{where } n \in \mathbb{Z} \] Dividing by 2 gives: \[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \] ### Step 7: Combine the solutions. The general solution for the equation \( \sec^2 2x = 1 - \tan 2x \) is: \[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{n\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \quad \text{where } n \in \mathbb{Z} \]

To solve the equation \( \sec^2 2x = 1 - \tan 2x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation using trigonometric identities. We know that: \[ \sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta \] Thus, we can rewrite the left side of the equation: ...
