Solve `sec4theta-sec2theta=2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`1/(cos4theta)-1/(cos2theta)=2`
`(cos2theta-cos4theta)/(cos2theta*cos4theta)=2`
`cos2theta-cos4theta=2cos2theta*cos4theta`
`cos2theta-cos4theta=cos6theta+cos2theta`
`cos6theta+cos4theta=0`
`2cos((6theta+4theta)/2)cos((6theta-4theta)/2)=0`
